Do you like GMing, but feel it would be better if it also involved a long walk in the woods? Do you enjoy writing encounters for the writer\u2019s room and have ideas for longer plotline? Did becoming an encounter ref leave you itching to run a whole event? Perhaps you\u2019re totally new to LARP volunteering, but you have some great new ideas for the game? You could be the next member of our Event Team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re looking to recruit 2 new team members over the winter period. In the past, we\u2019ve approached people individually when looking to recruit to the event team, but this time we\u2019ve decided to invite people to apply as we want to open it up to people that we might not realise are keen to volunteer for this kind of job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do the Event Team do?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Outside Events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At Events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These lists don\u2019t cover everything we do. We also don\u2019t do all of them directly; a lot of the time when a team member has responsibility for a big task, they aren\u2019t doing it all themselves, they\u2019re liaising with other team members or non-event team volunteers (e.g. Writers Room) to make sure that the task is done. We try to make sure people are always working on the things they\u2019re interested in (or at least, when something tedious has to get done, not totally put off by).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do I need experience running LARP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not at all. Previous experience running larp can be helpful, but there lots of other kinds of experience that can be transferrable; you might have been on a convention or society committee, you might be a scout or girl guide leader, or perhaps your work involves finding insurance for events<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s the time commitment involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We generally have a team meeting every two weeks for about 60-90 minutes. During the winter, this can be a bit less frequent, and in the month before an event we usually move up to having a meeting every week. Outside of regular meetings, expect to spend some time working independently on plot writing and\/or following up on other tasks agreed at the meeting. During events, we aim to allow for each team member to take a slot off to play or monster, but expect an intense weekend of activity and allow extra time at the start and end of the event for set up and take down<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
