• players – those people who have come along to play their self-created character for the entire event
• monsters – also known as crew, this group of people will take on a number of different roles within the world, as non-player-characters (NPCs)
• referees – who create and run the plot behind the event

The referees will run a series of encounters, where in each one the monsters will be given appropriate costume, and briefed on their background, combat capabilities and a motivation/reason for the role.  It is up to the players to decide how they interact with the encounter: you may wish to fight these monsters or you may decide that talking is a better alternative.

Non Combat Players

If the players decide to not to engage in the physical combat and quests, they may participate in specialized “professions” that have their own challenges and rewards. A gatherer may wander about looking for gathering “challenges”. Upon successfully completing them, they are rewarded with various gathered items of value. Other professions include Enchanting, Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Artisan, and Minstrel. Each profession has it’s own skill challenges, tier advancement, titles and rewards.
