Please find Below important Details and FAQs

1. What is the address of the site?
21930 Paradise Drive
Nisswa, MN 56468

2. What will the sleeping arraignments be like?

The sleeping arraignments include 2 16 bunk rooms, a 32 bunk room, and 4 Private 4 bunk rooms with a private bath room and shower. The 4 bunk rooms will be made available for reservations for $120 per room (that's $30 a person), In addition this year we will be offering 2 private rooms in the basement (for at least 2, but you can squeeze in 4) These rooms have mattresses, but not bunks, Private Baths, but not showers, in the event of unreserved rooms, senior npcs will be given preference. Reservations will be first come first serve, to reserve a room you must have a list of who will be in the room with you (at least 3/4), due to the expected attendance we are requiring that all private rooms hold at least 4 people. (If people want to share single bunks/set up mattresses on the floor that's perfectly fine. Room Reservation fees will be 'partly refundable' Meaning we'll attempt to relist them for you and give you whatever they go for in the event you have to cancel. Room Reservations may not be transferred for more than they were reserved at (no scalping ^.^) All room reservations must be prepaid within one week of reserving or the reservation will be up for grabs to anyone who did not get in.

3.) What will be the Price for the castle Event?
In order to help defray the significant costs of reserving the castle, the cost for this event will be $75 with a $15 dollar discount for PCs, and $25 with a $15 dollar discount for NPCs. So a pre-registered player will pay $60 as a pc or $10 as an NPC. Gold and Silver Memberships will give their FULL discount of Half Price or Already paid!

3.a.) Will there be out of Towner Discounts?

No, we are not offering out of Towner Discounts this year

The castle has water-heated floors, full showers and bathrooms (multiple showers) The bunks and materesses are brand new and the castle sports a massive industrial kitchen with plenty of fridge space!

5. What will be offered for food?
You event fee includes Light snacks Friday night, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Saturday. If you wish to bring additional snacks, We expect there to be refrigerator space available and the kitchen will be open for use outside of main prep times, although you will be expected (and supervised) to clean up after your efforts.

6. Will the entire event be in doors?
Not even close! There will be inside modules but much of the event/modules will be outside and in the elements please plan your costuming accordingly.

For Traveling Players.

There is no build cap...Huzzah!

Check our update policies, SoMN now allows all restricted items, and a small number of LCO effects such as once evers or Arcane armors travel freely, other lco items must be 'attuned' and all players may attune 15 years worth of effects on any one item each game they attend.

As a Special Allowance for this Event, an additional 20 LCO rituals may be brought in per player, only standard effects will be allowed (no immune to X, once a day dodge etc.)

3. Where can I fly into?
The best airport for those flying in is MSP international.

4. Can folks host me?
We have a number of enthusiastic players that can host/give rides from the airport, but plan early as capacity is limited.

5. Do I need a SoMN Membership to play?
No, traveling players with an active membership in another chapter do not need to purchase a membership.

For this Castle Event we will be using only standard effects as listed in the rule book. Warning - Dragon Magic will be in use during the event by Certain NPCS

A Few important notes for this year.

A.) Due to a significant increase on pricing at the castle (30% more per head!) we've made some changes to pricing, First the removal of out of town discounts. and a slight increase in the price and availability of private rooms. The regular price of admission remains the same for PCs and NPCs however to ensure no one is prevented from coming due to cost (if at all Possible)

B.) Room Rentals will be first come first serve. With the below Rules
1.) All Rooms must Host either 4 or 2 people based on size (more is fine but that's the minimum)
2.) Room Deposits will be due by October 1st, or the room will be offered to any requests on the waiting list. (If any)
3.) Rooms cost $120 ($30 per person) for upstairs rooms with showers or $50 ($25 per person) for basement private rooms.
4.) Room Reservations will open the 15th of August, Reservations this year require only a Single person to be responsible for payment and a list of the expected attendees.

C.) Pre-registration will be Opened October 1st

Thanks Folks, I hope you are all as excited as I am to be going back to the Castle once more!
