 Here's a list of questions we've been asked that we think people will generally find useful to know but we haven't found a good home for on any other page. If you have any questions, do email them to [[talesuntold.larp@gmail.com]].

+**Q: What is included in my ticket?  Why is it £100?**
+A: The Player Price covers:
+  * Venue hire and insurance
+  * Full catering over the course of the event (meals included in your ticket!)
+  * The cost of creating props and costume for all of the plot we would like to run
+  * Purchasing of additional tents to provide further game opportunities
+  * The cost of us transporting all of the game’s elements to the site
+  * The cost of us owning as much kit as possible to costume our crew without cost to them
+  * Offsetting catering cost for our crew
+The Crew price is a simple contribution toward the cost of catering (meals included in the ticket).
+We have set these prices based on our actual expenditure from Event 3, factoring in increasing costs of food, fuel, ink, and other resources we need to create the best game experience we can.  We compared against similar LARPs and found that many have tickets in the £60-80 region but do not cover catering at all, meaning the actual price passed on to attendees is in the £100-125 region.  We want to be up front about what we're providing, and between the fully catered experience, the number of props we create as a small team, the easy-entry LARP experience we want to provide to players and crew, and our ability to maintain the quality of game and plot we love, we feel these prices are fair.
+We recognise that rising LARP prices do present a challenge to many people, so we also offer [[Policies#Concessions]] to £80 for players (comparable with a £50 LARP ticket that does not include food) and payment plans in order to remain accessible.

+**Q: What safety measures will Tales Untold be putting in place due to COVID?**
+A: Our COVID Safety Policy and Risk Assessment can be found [[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ymalAfAtg5CV6ocSjBY2AIFXD3GKXGoc?usp=sharing|here]].

 **Q: Is there any indoor accommodation available? I am unable to camp for medical reasons.**\\
-A: Unfortunately there is presently no indoor accommodation available at Event 3 of //Tales Untold//. If it is just putting up a tent that is the problem, Huntley Wood does offer a Tent Hire service which we could explore - contact us at [[talesuntold.larp@gmail.com]] if this is the case.
+A: We are able to provide limited indoor accommodation during Event 4 with a priority given to those with access needs and to Crew first. The accommodation will take the form of a bunk house - bedding and mattresses not guaranteed to be provided. We have a further limited gender-separated indoor accommodation that we can provide for attendees who are not male. Please inform us either on your booking form or by emailing us if you would like indoor accommodation and we will assign based on needs.

 **Q: I have restricted mobility - is the site accessible for me?**\\
-A: The site we have for Event 3 is [[http://huntleywood.uk/venues/greenvale|the Greenvale at Huntley Wood]], which is a campsite in the woods in Staffordshire. It is therefore not completely accessible for those with restricted mobility, but the area we are using for Camelot should be. If you have concerns about accessibility please contact us at [[talesuntold.larp@gmail.com]].
+A: The site we have for Event 4 is [[https://www.scoutshw.org.uk/kinver-scout-camp|Kinver Scout Camp]], which is a scout campsite in the woods in Staffordshire/Worcestershire. The site has attempted to be wheelchair accessible and all areas we are intending to use for gameplay have step-free access.  There are wheelchair accessible toilets and showers in the main block as well.  If you have questions or concerns about accessibility please contact us at [[talesuntold.larp@gmail.com]].

 **Q: Is there IC camping or somewhere we can set up shop for our Realm?**\\
-A: Since only the main hall is time in for 24hrs there's no overnight IC camping, but feel free to set up shop near the main hall for your Realm. This isn't expected or required in any way, but we know some people will like to do this.

 **Q: Is the map the Oracular Mirror?**\\
 A: No, the map is just a map.
+----
+**Q: Why can't I create a new Realm for //Tales Untold// after Chapter Three?**\\
+A: In order to allow us to present a playable Conquest game and to keep track of the plot threads we already have, we have decided to stop expanding the Conquest board and work with the Realms we have.  New characters are more than welcome (encouraged, particularly) to join any Realm they like, but after the Realms submitted with characters before the January 2022 original deadline we won't be accepting new Realm submissions.
