What to Bring

Packing for an event breaks down into what you need as a person (food, sleep, hygiene) and what you need to play (garb, gear, and character items). Use the checklist below as a starting point — you won't need everything on it, especially your first time.

Everything you bring to use in-character has to meet our standards — see our Garb & Gear sections before you invest in anything.

  • Your ID (see Age Requirements)
  • Your event fee
  • Food and snacks (if you don't plan to eat at the Inn)
  • Drinks (same reason)
  • Medications, if applicable
  • Sleeping bag, blankets, pillow
  • Toiletries
  • Towel
