Keeping the game immersive can be a challenge.

Purpose

The Props and Atmosphere Work Group sets the tone for what the game looks like. They:

• Decide what props meet the standards of what the game wants in play
• Costuming for our creatures and NPCs
• Special projects for various objectives
• Running the make-up table every event.

Props and Atmosphere Marshals

The Marshal for the Props & Atmosphere workgroup is Christina Mevec, and the Second is Liska Gutierrez.

Volunteers

Props and Atmosphere volunteers are needed to:

• Staff the make-up table, making our various creatures and npcs stand out when they are sent into play.
  • You don't need to be an expert in make-up to work the make-up table; volunteers can be taught to use the spray gun and other tricks of the trade.
• Make sure NPCs meet the garb standards listed in the encounter codex and watch them for exposed skin that shouldn't be exposed (so that a creature's skin color is consistent).
• Work on making new costuming
• Repair worn costuming
• Anything else that keeps the visuals of the game to the highest standards we can manage

If you are interested in volunteering for Props & Atmosphere contact Christina Mevec or Liska Gutierrez.

Donations

Prop donations need to be approved by the Props Marshal, Christina Mevec or the Props Second, Liska Gutierrez before you will get experience for them. Not every item is of use to the game, and some things we have as many or more of than we actually need. It can take a month for this experience to be awarded, so please have patience when you do make donations.

NPC Kit Incentive

Props and Atmosphere will give 10 experience points to players who provide the following items for their personal NPC kit:

• A Hood
• Neutral-Colored Pants
• A Neutral-Colored Tunic
• Gloves
• A Balaclava

Send a picture of your items to either the P&A Marshals Christina Mevec or Liska Gutierrez.

A list of links to pre-approved garb shops can be found on our Discord server.

Boot Experience Incentive

Props and Atmosphere also has an experience incentive for period-appropriate footwear. Every 10 dollars spent on footwear will give you 1 experience point. When you consider that some of the best footwear for game can cost upwards of 200 dollars, that is a good amount of experience!

Players can earn this incentive more than once. This is handy if you need to get a cheaper pair of boots while you are saving up for better footwear, or if you ever need to replace your boots.
