Your first night does not need to be perfect.

Register and check the official details

Check the event organiser’s current registration, location, and event information before attending. Details for Society gatherings in Brisbane are coming soon.

Comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes

You do not need a full costume on day one. Bring water, weather-appropriate clothing, and shoes you can safely run and stand in. As your character takes shape, add layers, belts, pouches, cloaks, armour, and personal details. Ask the Society before making big purchases; we can help you find kit that suits the game.

Rule of thumb: If you can move, adventure, and laugh in it, you’re on the right track.

Sign in and learn the basics

New players are introduced to the rules, safety expectations, and field basics. Loaner equipment and training may be available through the event team. Follow event safety guidance, use clear calls, and handle props responsibly.

Take your time

Meet Society members and other participants, ask about their stories, and explore before deciding what feels right for you. Respect the player: in-character conflict stays in the story, and out of character we look after one another. We want every newcomer to leave knowing someone they can ask for help.
