RULES
- Combat must take place before a GM (Game Master) in the Special Events area - it will be labeled, and there will be more than one GM available.
- No cheating. It's no fun if you cheat.
- We will be giving out pins for your level. Each time you gain a level, we will swap your pin for a cooler, more powerful one. You will also keep track of your level on your character sheet - available in the back of the con guide.
- Events in the con guide marked with an asterisk (*) can give you an Event Point, which you can trade for rare items. Show your character sheet at the door of the event to receive the point. The point will be marked on your sheet with stamp. Once you use your event points, they will be hole punched.
- In the special events area, there will be an item shop where a GM will sell you items you can use in battle. The COIN (game currency) you receive from battle can be traded for items here.
- This is a D10-based (ten sided die based) system. The GMs will be providing the dice, so there is no need to bring your own.
- Bosses use a different set of dice rules.
