Positions Details:
Traditionally we have the following roles:
Ops guides oversee the mod book and work with our writers to make sure there is content to run out in the field. They take notes on the mods that run in order to help our writers maintain continuity. They can also run Post-Death scenes for characters who have died. Essentially, you help ensure that monster camp runs smoothly!
Rules or Field guides manage NPCs out in the field, keep NPCs in high spirits, answer questions players might have while on a module, and make sure rules are being adhered to.
Public Works guides run the Public Works and make sure everyone gets their item cards and blueprints for all their crafting project needs. Public works guides must be able to write neatly and accurately and have a decent grasp on mechanics.
Settings Guides keep monster camp tidy, take inventory of makeup and costuming, and prepare our NPCs to look as scary and accurate as possible. Hygiene and time management skills are essential.
