Expected behaviour 

This policy explains the behaviour we expect of attendees at Alma Mater including the Team. All participants confirm that they will comply with this agreement when they book. 

​

You must not:

• Discriminate against others based on off-larp (out-of-character) attributes (including: age, physical appearance, sex and/or gender identities including transgender status, race, disability, neurodiversity, nationality, religion, parental status/choices, class or social status, sexuality or relationship choices)

• Use derogatory or bigoted language based on out-of-character attributes

• Criticise someone for using accessibility aids eg. wheelchair, eyeglasses

• Sexually harass other participants

• Make references to certain unacceptable themes (as listed in the Themes section)

• Drink alcohol; smoke or vape; or use illegal substances on site.

• Film or photograph others without their consent

• Interfere with another participant’s off-larp belongings or mobility aids

• Attempt to shrug off responsibility for your actions, including by claiming they were in-character

• Cause damage to the site or leave mess for others to clean up

 

You should:​

• Take reasonable responsibility for your own wellbeing and that of others

• Request any accessibility adjustments you may require with as much notice as possible

• Make yourself aware of acceptable and unacceptable themes to base your roleplay on

• Respect other people when they ask you to stop doing something (we will show you techniques for this before the larp)

• Let one of the Team know if someone or something is making you feel uncomfortable

• Make choices which will increase the roleplay experience for yourself and others ('play to lift') 

• Treat people by the gender of their character without commenting on sex characteristics, such as facial hair

• Treat all attendees, including the Team, with courtesy - remembering at all times that we are all attending in order to co-create an experience, rather than as ‘a customer’

 

We reserve the right to decline a booking from any person without giving a reason.

​

 If you break this policy, we may:

• Discuss the situation with you and/or issue a warning

• Ask you to take a break

• Ask you to leave

• Ban you from attending future larps we run

• Share certain information with organisers of other larps, at our discretion

• Take legal action
