Phenomenon 2002 - Terms & Conditions

Every convention has to have them - well, at least what it says in our copy of Running Conventions For Dummies and so we've cobbled a few together. If you are planning on attending the convention and especially if you are intending on GMing or desiging a game, go over these and if you have any questions (especially if the question starts with "I know it says you're not supposed to but can I ...") then please contact Ryan before the convention starts: psen@apex.net.au, phone 02 6258 1092 between 6 and 10pm AEST.

Terms and Conditions

Smoking is strictly forbidden inside all ANU buildings.
No weapons of any kind, real or otherwise, are permitted on the convention site except as legitimate game props. Please check with a convention organiser beforehand if you wish to bring a prop weapon to the convention. If you are some kind of super kung fu expert then there's probably not a lot we can do to stop you but try to keep yourself under control.
Never poke a badger with a spoon
Illicit drugs of any kind are banned on the convention site. If anyone is found with illicit substances on the site they will be confiscated.

Registration

Convention registration will be held on Friday 9th August from 6pm at the Manning Clarke Centre. If you submitted your entry prior to the convention you should attend registration to get your schedule and check in to your games. If you did not submit an entry (shame on you!) you should attend registration to try to enter the events you want to play.

It is much easier on the organisers and designers when players enter the convention early, so please try to get your entries in as soon as possible.

Scheduling

Scheduling will be arranged for people who get their entry forms in early. Note the late date for entries is August 2nd, and the late fee is $5. Please mark on the entry-form any times you are unavailable to play. To help us schedule you, mark in any times you wish to play particular events. We will do our best to accommodate your wishes, but we make no guarantees.

There are seven (7) sessions available at the convention.

Fees

Each session costs $6 to a maximum of $35 per person.
The Banquet is extra.
There is a late fee of $5 for entries post-marked after August 2nd.

Cancellations

Refunds for player cancellations notified before 2nd August, 2002 will be the full amount minus a $5 Administrative Fee (we cop bank charges too!)
After 2nd August, 2002 refunds will only be given in exceptional circumstances, at the organisers' discretion
No refunds will be given for player cancellations once the Convention has started
If an event is cancelled players will have the option of choosing another game or obtaining a full refund of the fee paid for that event

Scheduling

Everyone attending Phenomenon 2002 must fill out an Entry Form. You can enter as an individual or as part of a team. Where possible, team entries should be submitted together.

Gods and other supernatural entities

While Phenomenon does not discriminate against any group, it is asked that all omniscient, psychic and visionary beings please refrain from using their powers to advantage, particularly in freeforms where the balance of the game often depends on our fragile, mortal ignorance that we so cherish in our own pitiful way.
