These five rules apply to all Players in all Heroic games. There are never exceptions to these rules. To break these rules would be dangerous and/or illegal and will result in repercussions up to and including the offending party being removed from the game or banned without a refund. In the event that the action was illegal in nature, the proper authorities will be notified.

Physical Contact: Physical contact (except with Marshal approved weapons, packets, or similar objects) is not allowed without the expressed consent of all parties involved. It is not permitted to purposefully strike your opponent's groin, head, or hands with a Marshal approved weapon, as these are not legal hit locations and are sensitive to being struck.

Drugs & Alcohol: It is strictly forbidden to play in any Heroic game involving stunts, action, or combat, while under the influence of alcohol or within six hours of consuming alcohol. It is strictly forbidden to play in any Heroic game whatsoever while under the influence of illegally used drugs, regardless whether they were consumed on or off site.

Hold: If any Player or Marshal calls out “HOLD!” it is required that you cease all game actions, cease talking, and avoid looking around you (except in the case of a safety issue). A hold should only be called for a serious out-of-game reason such as an injury or safety hazard. A Hold should not be called for a rules or situational clarification if the clarification can be easily gained without stopping the game.

Theft: It is strictly forbidden to steal another person's out-of-game items for any reason. If you intend to steal in-game items, you must have a Rogue Marshal present with you, for your own protection as well as the player of your intended victim. There is no exception to this rule. If your character steals an in-game item that is represented by an out-of-game player possession, you must return that prop to Logistics or a Rogue Marshal as soon as possible. A Rogue Marshal may not marshal their own actions under any circumstances.

Respect: Heroic games are activities where emotions can (and should) run high; yet Heroic games are for players who can separate in-game emotions and frustrations from out-of-game responses. No Player or Marshal should ever treat another with disrespect or discourtesy. In order to maintain the Heroic game environment, all issues or disagreements between Members should be handled politely, and after a cooling-off period if necessary.

The focus on these five basic rules is for legal reasons and to keep all players and staff as safe as possible. If you witness someone breaking any of these five Fundamental Rules, please report it to a Heroic Marshal as soon as possible.
