We\u2019ve had a great response to our call for volunteers and it means a lot to us.

Therefore applications are closed for now, but we expect that there will be more opportunities to apply in future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever wanted to try your hand at writing a LARP encounter? Volunteer for the Writers&#8217; Room! Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the run up to each event, the Plot Team will share some encounter ideas with Writer&#8217;s Room volunteers and a deadline in advance of the game to submit your draft encounter. Encounter ideas will come in a variety of forms, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An angry customer seeking a judgement against a dodgy copper merchant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A group of traders coming to camp to sell their wares and look for gossip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feral goats attack the camp<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A judgement encounter, come up with your own case<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some kind of high risk fetch quest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A ridle or puzzle encounter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plot Team will make sure the encounter ideas we give you are disconnected from ongoing plots and won&#8217;t need you to know any background secrets. We&#8217;ll also give you access to an encounter template, local realm writing guide, and a limited selection of monster stats &#8211; everything you&#8217;ll need to bring your encounter to life <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You write your agreed encounter(s) and submit them by the deadline, and Plot Team edits them where necessary. Unless it&#8217;s something that&#8217;s going to affect everyone (e.g. feral goats attacking the camp), you avoid playing the enocounter(s) you wrote. Otherwise there are no on-field responsibilities (though if you also want to ref, please let us know!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no ongoing commitment. If you agree to write an encounter for the next event, we won&#8217;t expect that you&#8217;ll continue to do this every time. If you&#8217;re interested in writing for the game, please email us at <a href=\"mailto:info@fiveoaths.com\">info@fiveoaths.com<\/a> for further information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a limited number of encounters in any given event which will be suitable for the Writers&#8217; Room, so we don&#8217;t guarantee that everyone who applies will be invited to submit an encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19\/01\/25 Update: Writers&#8217; Room Applications Now Closed Thanks to everyone who applied to volunteer for the writers&#8217; room.
