🟪 Overview

At the sound of the War Drums, all players (see list of exceptions at the end of this section) must report to location where the War Drums are being played.

Combat players should bring any gear and items they wish to use. Players will be organized into groups and given instructions by Ops for conducting an encounter. Once the encounter has completed, players should expect to rotate through roles until everyone has had a chance to complete the encounter as a PC. Players may opt out of their PC role and choose to NPC only. All crafting timers will be paused for the duration.

Non-Combat Players

Non-combat players should still report in the event Ops needs assistance with setup, but will almost certainly not be required to participate for the entire encounter. Under no circumstances will Non-Combat Players participate in War Drums encounters.

Typical exceptions for reporting to the War Drums:

• Players who are actively engaged in meal prep or consumption
• Players who are actively engaged in an OOG wellness activity such as hygeine, sleeping, or a mental health break

This is not an exhaustive list. If you’re unsure as to whether you can be excused, report to the drums (or send someone on your behalf) to ask Ops.

Players who abuse the exceptions policy will be given a verbal warning. Repeated violations may result in a ban.
