Here's a list of questions we've been asked that we think people will generally find useful to know but we haven' | Here's a list of questions we've been asked that we think people will generally find useful to know but we haven' | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Q: What is included in my ticket? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: The price of the Player Ticket covers: | ||
+ | * Access to the site | ||
+ | * Funding the many props and costumes we use across the weekend | ||
+ | * Enabling us to buy tents that can be used to provide more areas and facets to the game | ||
+ | * Enabling us to hire a van to transport the game to the site | ||
+ | * Offsetting the cost for Crew so we can bring more to the game | ||
+ | |||
+ | We have set these prices based on our actual expenditure from Event 5, 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 £75-100 region not covering catering. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We recognise that rising LARP prices do present a challenge to many people, so we also offer [[Policies# | ||
+ | |||
+ | Combined with a £30 Meal Ticket, altogether the fully inclusive cost of the weekend in 2024 is expected to be £110 (£80 Concession) which is an increase of £10 over 2023 but is representative of the increased costs of hiring a venue and a van -- two fundamentally essential parts of running our events/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Q: Why are Meal Tickets being sold separately? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: We are following the lead of other comparable LARP Events by separating the cost of food and the cost of the event. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Q: Why is catering no longer included for Crew?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: When we started running //Tales Untold// in 2019 and when we increased our prices for 2022/23 we had a smaller Crew and we optimistically wanted to try to cover food for Crew in some part with the ticket costs from Players to about 50%. Heading into 2024 we have a larger crewbase which is wonderful, but also it is no longer viable to subsidise catering for Crew without taking a not insignificant loss with our other rising prices. | ||

+ | **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:// | ||

+ | |||
+ | We operate Vignettes as strictly non-combat linears on a reasonably flat area directly next to the main camp. Quests will have Combat and take place in a wider area with hills -- non-combatants can be accommodated in Quests with prior notice to the Quest Team during the event. | ||

- | A: The Phases match up to the Seasons: | + | A: The Phases match up to the Seasons: Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Midsummer. A year is still the same length as a real world year, but the world has divided it into 5 seasons instead of 4. |

+ | |||
+ | **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, |
