Rules No weapons, real or otherwise, are permitted on site unless part of a game AND approved by the organisers.   No illicit drugs, or people under the influence of illicit drugs, are permitted on site.   No smoking indoors, or within 10m of an open doorway.   Session times must be adhered to. The breaks are short and are intended for calls of nature and/or getting food, not for playing through.   Respect other tables/games space. Have fun by all means, but please don't interfere with other games to do it.   Be nice to your referee/GM. They have given up their time so you can have fun. The least you can do is be nice, and remember, the Ref's word is final.

Enter Early to WIN!   LATE DATE: 15 September 2000   As we've done in the past, Phenomenon is again giving you the chance to win if you enter before the late date. All the money paid as late fees will be raffled off to someone who has entered the con early. So make sure you get your entry forms in before the late date to avoid the late fee and give yourself a chance to win!   Note that designers of games at Phenomenon 2000 will be entered into the late fees raffle.   LATE DATE: 15 September 2000

As part of our commitment to the development of the role-playing hobby and to encourage new writers to contribute their talent to the hobby, Phenomenon 2000 proudly presents the New Designers' Award. Phenomenon is proud to offer an award for new designers. Anyone who submits a module for Phenomenon as either their first or second module for a convention is eligible to enter the New Designer Award. Australia has an innovative and experimental tradition in gaming. It should be noted that Freeforming and Systemless styles are Australian inventions. We urge all players to look to these writers and give them a try.

Second-hand Stall There will be a second-hand stall running at Phenomenon. Bring along your old roleplaying books (or whatever you think may sell), with a price list, and for a small percentage your stuff can be on the stall all weekend.   For more details email wes@dynamite.com.au
