At the door you will be required to show identification and sign a form affirming your compliance with the following behaviors (list below). This form is available as a PDF (link above), which you can print and fill out in advance if you like, but you will still have to show valid identification at the door.
• You understand that staff at the event are wearing a green glowstick on a lanyard around their neck. If at any time you feel unsafe, need assistance, or want to report problematic activity, you can and should approach with confidence anyone wearing a green glowstick.
• If you bring part or all of your party outfit in a bag, upon entering you must go directly to a restroom, change your clothes, then proceed directly to the coat check to secure your bag. It is prohibited to carry any bag larger than a standard purse in the party.
• You understand that dungeon monitors (DMs) are on duty at this party (also wearing a green glowstick on a lanyard around their neck), serving as an educational resource and safeguarding compliance with all the policies elaborated here along with common standards of conduct and safety. If you are directed by a DM to modify your behavior, you will comply immediately.
• You will treat all sexual orientations and gender identities with courtesy and respect, including using correct pronouns and defaulting to they/them if you are not sure of someone’s pronouns. Don't know someone's pronouns? Ask!
