Age Policy:
Alliance Gettysburg welcomes all players aged 12 and up at our games. Before deciding to bring an
underage participant to an Alliance game, please keep in mind that while we aim for a PG-13
environment, we run a game primarily populated by adults in intense situations, violently combating
monsters in the dark. There are no overt sexual themes to the game that we run, but strong language
and violent encounters are common. Not only will different people have different levels of tolerance
for the dramatic situations they find themselves in, but not all younger players will have the level of
maturity necessary to participate in a complex game among adults. Should you feel that a young
player is mature and capable enough to participate at our events, we welcome them to try our game.
Due to physical safety concerns, there are a few restrictions regarding their ability to participate.
1. Players under 18 years old must have a parent or legal guardian on-site as a PC or NPC. They
are responsible for the player’s actions, and must remove the player from the site if asked.
They must keep track of the player and be able to know where the player is at all times.
2. Players under 18 years old must have their consent form signed by a parent or legal guardian.
This must also include contact info and medical/allergy information in case of emergency.
Page Policy:
Page Status
There are three ways in which a player may become a page:
1. Any player may participate as a page voluntarily.
2. Any player may be informed by staff that they must participate as a page based on medical issues, safety concerns, or age.
3. Players under 16 years old are required to page unless given approval by the Chapter’s Owners, Head of Rules, and the participant’s on-site parent or guardian. Players under 16 who are not required to page will be monitored for both safe participation and adherence to the rules and may be put on page status at any point during play at the discretion of the Chapter Owner, Head of Rules, or on-site parent or guardian.
Page Rules
1. All pages must wear an orange headband with the word page written on it large enough to be
visible from 10 feet away. This must be worn at all times.
2. Pages can not participate in combat and can never carry weapon phys reps or throw packets.
3. Pages may carry other in-game items, and can be searched as per the search rules.
4. Pages must keep themselves a minimum of 10 feet from combat. Additional distance may be
required to prevent combat from sweeping into their position before they can safely remove
themselves.
5. Any page hit by a melee weapon in combat is required to immediately call a Hold. Any player
who sees a page being hit by a melee weapon in combat is required to immediately call a
Hold.
6. If a page is subject to an effect that would prevent them from leaving a combat area the page
should call a Hold and move themselves away from combat, keeping the effect once the Lay
On is called.
7. While a page may not be subject to an attack with a melee weapon, any one carrying a melee
weapon may point it at the page and state, “Page, <qualifier> <effect>” using their normal
attack verbal and the page must take that effect, calling any applicable defenses available in
response.
8. A Page character must be built in the Freeplay CMA. The player must advise the Logistics
team in advance so the card can be printed. Pages may not purchase weapon skills or any
skills or abilities that require the use of a weapon.
