Policy & Safety

Casting

The sign up is not on a ‘first come, first serve’ basis. We will use both lottery and casting for the larp based on information from the sign up form, and aim to achieve diversity among players and character relationships to ensure interesting and fun play. In the event of a fully signed larp and waitinglist, participants who haven’t played The Devil You Know before may be prioritized.

Payment

The ticket price is 200 euro for demon+patient players, and 130 euro for staff characters. If, due to economical circumstances, you’re unable to pay your fee in one instalment please contact the organisers.

Refund policy

Until January 31st 2024, you can get a full refund if you drop out of the larp for any reason. If you drop out of the larp after the payment deadline, you will not get a refund for any reason. Please note that if one partner in a demon+patient duo cancels, the whole duo is considered to have canceled. If the larp is more than two weeks away, the remaining partner may have a couple of days to find a new duo partner, or a whole new duo will be offered the spots free of charge. Organisers must approve the new duo partner before they accepted.

Communication

The Devil You Know will use the character learning tool Ensemble. You are expected to upload a picture and present your character in a timely manner.

When you register for this larp, you agree that you will familiarise yourself with information you receive from the organisers and respond when contacted. If something is unclear, it is your responsibility to speak up so that the organisers have a chance to answer and clarify. If you do not respond or if we can’t get hold of you within a reasonable time, you will first receive a written warning and then you (and the partner in case of demon+patient duo) lose your spot(s) to someone on the waiting list. You will not get a refund if you forfeit your spot at the larp because of lack of communication.

The organisers expect all players who sign up to The Devil You Know to have the time and avilability to commit to the larp and engage with the community.

Safety

In the signup form, we ask you to identify any potential player that you consider unsafe. By unsafe, we mean dangerous, unsafe behaviour towards you, other players or the game. We do not mean differences of opinion, bad personal chemistry or personal relationships, past or present.

The Devil You Know does not pre-define close relations between characters, except demon+patient. As such, the organisers will not filter through who you can and cannot have a character relation with. As a player you have the freedom to avoid relation with other players’ characters yourself.

Accessibility

The venue is an old hospital/institution building, and it is not very mobility friendly. The play area is on the 1st floor, meaning you must be able to walk up and down stairs. The design does not include any physical exercise or running. Hallways and doorways are wide. If you want to inquire about your accessibility needs, please write an email to the organisers.

Photo

We will take pictures during the larp. You will be offered portrait opportunities during or after the game, and our experienced photographer is very considerate when it comes to taking photos ingame with as little disturbance to the play as possible. There will be limited pictures taken ingame. At sign up, you must consent to being photographed at the larp. Additionally, we will publish these pictures on the Norwegian larp gallery after a grace period. We might want to use some of these pictures for communication and marketing of the larp for potential future runs, and will in this case contact the subjects on each such photo to ask consent for this particular purpose.
