Tech Requirements

In order for everyone to have a great virtual play experience, you will need to have:

• A laptop or desktop, with associated camera and microphone.^[1]
• Access to a network capable of supporting video chat.
• A Discord client. Please mute your other Discord channels during game runtime.
• A comfortable place to sit or stand during the game, with enough light for other players to see you. This should be a quiet place, without distractions, so that play is not interrupted.^[2]
• Bandwidth, so please ask your favorite bandwidth pirate to share the bits.

Well in advance of the run, we will provide you the necessary information for accessing the Discord server we'll use for the game. Please make sure that you can connect to the server as soon as possible, so that we can diagnose any issues well before the game.

[1]: A phone will NOT be sufficient. Players may be using several Discord video and text channels over the course of the game. We've seen technical issues with people attempting to use phones in other virtual LARPs, especially with Discord and multiple channels.

[2]: The inevitable invasion of small children and feline aliens is unavoidable, especially in this household. Please identify the intruder to the rest of the group, child, feline or other, while applying sufficient love and attention to the wild beast. Continue play as best possible.
