The Game Team
Game Team
Everyone volunteering to run the game, play NPCs, and fight against players comes under the banner of “Game Team”.
We avoid using the term “Crew” as it may cause confusion with the player “crew” of the ship.
Referees
Anyone wearing a white cap is a referee, involved in running an aspect of the event. They are not playing a character while wearing the cap, but do feel free to approach them if you need help.
Part-Time Volunteers
We offer a small number of discounted tickets for part-time volunteers, to assist with roles such as First Aid, Weapons Safety, Setup, Reffing, and NPC numbers.
Game Team Area
Players are not permitted in the Game Team Area except when accessing First Aid & Emergency provisions or accompanied by a member of the Game Team.
Please be conscious that this area contains spoilers for the event!
A-COM
The group of In-Character referees are known as A-COM. They play staff members of the Ardent ship and are your first port of call for any queries, concerns, or requests for specific plot or missions.
There is a dedicated A-COM Hub in the middle of the Mission Base. Additional A-COM staff NPCs can be found wandering around the base.
First Aid
Our first aiders are contactable via Referees or by shouting “Safety”. A small first aid kit will be available in the A-COM Hub, with full facilities in the Game Team Area.
First aiders are not able to provide any painkillers or medication.
Traders
We have a limited number of trader and caterer spaces at events. Traders are not automatically part of the Game Team and may have a player character or an NPC depending on their preference.
