Introduction Dragons Gauntlet is based in the Land Rathordin, where there is an array of races who come to test their skills in the arena, dungeons, sieges and fighting monsters. These players are called Adventurers. The ones running the dungeons are the powerful Dragon Guardians, so-called avatars, who test the adventurers. It is a place to gain money and fame.

Dragons Gauntlet is a medium contact LARP that aims to utilise individual levelling as well as large scale medieval battles, also includes Player versus Environment while keeping combat safe and enjoyable. There are also ways to play lesser combat roles and more role play roles. We are medieval, fantasy-based in appearance.

Age Requirements

Dragons Gauntlet is a strictly 13+ game. Any player under the age of 18 must have a parent consent form filled out and signed on their first game to be able to play. Other children aged under the age of 13years can come to spectate, but not fight, at major events (currently) and must have a guardian or parent with them the whole time. For social events, if the venue allows it, we encourage members under 18 to join us but due to the nature and the presence of alcohol at some events we ask that they are with a parent or guardian for the event.

Important On-Field Calls

Unsafe-Play

If Unsafe-Play is called, all players MUST immediately stop fighting and wait in place. Unsafe-Play is only to be called in an emergency such as a weapon breaking, someone injuring themselves, or a dangerous situation is deemed. Only a Dragon Warden can call this out.

3-2-1 Safe, Game On

After Unsafe-Play has been called, no combat can continue, until ‘3-2-1 Safe’ is called, means the game is back on. This may only be called by a Warden.

Warden

You may call for a Warden if you are unsure about an issue or ruling, also if you think something is unsafe

in which you believe the Wardens missed. You cannot call Unsafe Play, only a Warden can.

Injured Player- Unsafe-Play is called

All must stop and kneel, if can’t kneel just stand still, and the injured player waves hands around as to be

found better. When injured player is ok or removed from area of play, play starts again as per usual after

the Warden will call “Safe”

Dragon Wardens

Dragons Gauntlet uses Dragon Wardens as referees for the games. Dragon Wardens are primarily there to ensure safe play, however, also have the final say on all matters about the games; arguing with a Dragon Wardens may cause you to be instructed to leave the field or even banned for period of time, or for good - subject to the Executive Board’s investigation. See more in Players Rules and Code of Conduct on separate article.

Page 3 of 15

Combat/Basic Mechanics Striking Zones

For a strike to be counted as successful, it must be a medium hit with the business end of the weapon upon an opponent’s legal strike zone. Basically, if you feel the strike then it’s a hit. Each strike must be distinct from those previous akas no drum rolling or wrist flicking. Swing must be a full 90 degree with the arm. Shields may not be used to strike an opponent. One-handed weapons do 1 damage to limbs and 2 to the body. Two-handed weapons do 2 damage everywhere. See diagrams.

First Time Players What to Expect as a new player:

• Read the rules before arriving

• Wear plain clothes - no logos, if you already have a kit to wear then bring that.

• When you arrive, sign the waiver and acknowledgement of the club rules plus code of conduct.

• You will be taken to training area and taught basic rules and strikes, and practise how hard to hit.

• Then you will enter the arena or join in a party.

• When returning you must always sign in first before entering the game area.

• You will have 7 HP for your first two events of Game play in order for you to organise your own

armour (if you don’t already have any).

• You may only play one character per event (however, you can create multiple characters)

Hit Points (HP), Bleeding Out and Death

Everyone has a base of 2HP. Dragons Gauntlet uses an armour system to work out how much extra HP you have. This also determines what Armour Class you come under.

Each bit of armour covers a zone in which you add up to get your Armour Class. From here you get your Maximum HP depending on Armour Class.

Further HP can be generated using armour per zone as listed below.

Bleeding Out

When your HP drops to zero you go down on one knee and start your bleeding out count. Make sure if in thick of battle to move to one side out of harm’s way, still continue counting. Death occurs when a player has reached the end of the timed counts, and no-one has healed you.

• 60 seconds to get healed, respawn, or use Regeneration or you reach the Death state. On weekly events 60 seconds time can change depending on the game, but the time will be told on the event.

Death Death is the state where a player has either bled out or have had an instant-death effect (such as being hit by a ballista bolt). Death and bleeding out times will vary depending on the game – the times will be mentioned before the game begins. You will need to find the designated Death Area and wait the appropriate amount of time before entering the game again. Waiting at Death Areas to attack returning players is not permitted. On a Weekend Event, Death time will normally be 5 minutes, and on a Weeknight event, Death will normally take 2 minutes (again, this may change depending on the game).

Armour Zones For armour to count, it must look like armour from a movie or be historically accurate. It must be made to a high-quality standard and offer some level of protection or padding.

Armour Points (AP) gives you more HP and gives your Armour Rating. Just add all zones together and if comes to 0.6 round up, if comes to 0.5 round down. If 50% of the zone is covered, you get the full benefit. This will give you your Total HP. However high your hit points, this give you the armour rating. 15 zones in total. Alternate armour types will be given zero points if not made into a high-quality finish.

Table 1: Armour Zones

Zone Coverage

Upper Head Back of Head to Forehead and to top of the head

Front of Head Forehead to Chin

Upper Chest Front of torso extending from base of neck to bottom of chest

Lower Abdomen Under chest area to top of the waist

Any homemade metal armour will be looked at harshly - if not made safe with rolled edges or other professional finishes the answer will be NO. Also, any homemade materials using foam, vinyl, plastics or any other substance must look professional.

For materials not listed please check at sign in or email dragonsgauntlet@gmail.com.

Armour points do not stack on each zone – the highest material type will be used for calculation.

First time players have light armour 7HP unless they are wearing armour of a higher value. They have this for 2 events only, then go back to normal table above.

Costume Requirements

Costumes are required to play at Dragons Gauntlet for immersion or thematic, and must be of good standing. First time players get a pass for not being in costume, but we ask for you not to wear blue jeans or brand logos and recommend a plain black shirt and black pants. Soft Kit must be medieval fantasy in appearance. For more information on how to start building a costume we have some places on the website and there are plenty of talented crafters around.

Weapons

Players can take any of the following weapons at their own discretion. The weapons must be approved at sign-in for safety reasons. Any player found to be unsafe with a particular weapon will be instructed to not use that weapon until they can clearly demonstrate they can safely use that weapon. All throwing weapons must be coreless.

Note: Not all weapons that are advertised as LARP weapons are safe for Dragons Gauntlet due to their material and construction. Homemade weapons are allowed, however, they will be scrutinised more harshly and if we say no that is the answer. Some brands like Epic Armoury, Calimacil, Artemis Nemisis are usually safe, but all still will be subject to approval. Foam Dragon, Draconium Arms are two safe Australian-made LARP weapon makers. *Any top heavy weapon.**Dire chain weapons e.g. flail can only have a 30cm head.

Shields

Shields give you 1 less Energy Point (see below), with no added HP, however players can absorb most attacks, if they have been blocked. Players who wish to utilise shields may do so if they fit the following criteria and are used safely:

Table 5: Maximum shield dimensions

Shield Type Maximum Dimensions

Round Shield 80cm diameter

All Other Shield Types 60cm X 100cm

Page 6 of 15

Note: Shields are not classed as weapons, and therefore cannot be used to strike opponents. Sometimes they can be broken by a monsters sunder and need a blacksmith to fix them. See blacksmith in skill section.

Shields may be made of any materials but must have both foam edging 10mm minimum and have no potentially dangerous protrusions (e.g.: nuts, bolts, etc). All must have a foam, especially on the front face at 10mm, minimum. Shields made completely of foam are the preferred case as the safest option. Shields worn on the back and not in real use and you get hit, gets classed as a hit.

Energy Points (EP) and Skills

Energy Points (EP) are used to determine how many times a player can use a skill per day (renewing at 1am if overnight events). EP- is basically how many times you can use that skill. Everyone starts off with 2 EP if you have a good soft kit you will get a bonus 1EP taking you to 3 EP. Must have shoes, (shirt, robe, dress) and pants, skirt of the right era and type of character you are playing. You only get this once there are no double ups. An example as follows: Warrior class to have shirt or tunic, pants and shoes, that is of the era (meaning something similar as you can’t go buy antique shoes of that era).

Energy Points can be increased through blue runes. You can buy them, find them or earn them through levelling. Blue Runes do not increase the use of Specialist Skills (see Skill Types below). Blue Rune gives you 1 EP on all the skills you have. For instance if you have 3 normal skills you would now have 4 skill uses instead of 3 uses for each skill. Blue runes don’t work with Specialist skills.

EP= How many times you can use that skill, blue runes= 1 extra EP meaning 1 extra skill usage on all skills chosen.

Table 6: Rune effects on armour

Skill Types

Each player has the option of purchasing skills:

1. Select 3 of any combination of skills from Warrior, Arcane, Healer, Trader, Arcane skill sets plus 1 Specialist Skill,

Each skill type has their own unique abilities as described below, but role-play interpretations are up to the individual player. How many uses depends on the Energy Points held by the player – taking into account effects of Armour Type.

Siege Sieging is a part of Dragons Gauntlet in which it happens usually every 2nd week. You receive either your

1sc for the night and 1 extra 1sc if you win. Traders will be onsite to sell gear, fix siege weapons etc. You

may choose to go into battle as a Trader especially if a Blacksmith and Bard. Generally, 2 siege games a

night. Each game consists of the best of 3 battles.

It takes 2 people to operate a siege weapon or move a siege weapon at any time, otherwise it cannot be

operated. If a siege weapon is shot by another siege weapon at any time it is rendered destroyed and must

be taken to a blacksmith for repairs, it takes 5 minutes to repair. Only another firing siege weapon can

destroy a siege weapon. A battering ram cannot destroy any siege weapons or be used to attack

people/npcs, only doors. You can buy as many as you can afford.

Fortification All walls for weeknight events are

supplied by the club but may need to be

set up by members.

All walls are up to 2.1metres high and

1metre width.

Forts can only be sieged from the

front doors to the end corner of the

front wall

In order to fortify your base to prevent people ‘walking through walls’, there must be a clearly visible

barrier in which people cannot easily get through. The wall height is only as high as the walls mentioned

above.

Behind the 10 metres of wall you can rope or bunt of another area in which to put all your stuff that you

want to keep out of in game area.

Walls may be attacked and ‘broken’ only with Siege Weapons and Mauls (Two Handed Hammer), or NPCs

who do 2-5 damage, Mauls do 2 damage. Wall strength is dependent on the construction method and

material. The following table details the different wall HP values:

A siege finishes once the goal has been accomplished, destroying the dragon totem, treasure chest, in

game valuables. Siege finished will be called.

Siege events on a Weekend will need both Adventure Parties to assist with the provision of and set-up of

walls.

Currency

Earnt in the Dungeon. The rest of the silver can be earnt in sieges. The dungeon holds about 10sc each

time. So basically, you could earn around 1sc-2sc a night. Siege Night you get 1sc each and 2sc each if your

team win. So generally, after a year you win 36sc-100sc. God Scale is worth 10sc. All currency is returned

at the end of each games end.

defeating monsters with your party. However, even if you have earned perks previously, you must have at

still part of the venue, and has not been classed as Out of Bounds.

found at the merchants’ quarter.
