Shattered Realms is a fully immersive LARP that takes place one weekend a month. Games will start on a Friday evening and remain running until noon on Sunday. All actions occur in real time and battle takes place using physical simulated weapons and spells. Full costuming is required and players remain in character for the duration of the game, unless in the bathroom or serving their NPC shift. If a player needs to go out of play (OOPs) they must signal as such with either the designated head band or hand symbol. Every player is expected to serve an NPC shift for one block of time to help assist with the immersion of the game. NPC shifts vary in duties, but predominantly subsist of acting as a beast or character for players to interact with. Other duties available are running the tavern, tavern cook, Skald assistant, or running chores. Everyone should bring a change of black clothes to wear for their NPC shift. Players may opt to donate more of their time to NPC for added bonuses.
Game entrance includes a snack on Friday, 3 tavern meals and a snack Saturday, and light fare on Sunday. Water is unlimited. Entrance also includes lodging and bathing facilities. Those with medical needs will have priority bedding in a cabin dedicated for that purpose. Those resting in that cabin will have full protection while sleeping and shall not be disturbed by beasts or other in game activities.

When game concludes on Sunday there will a post game gathering to summarize and celebrate the event, after which everyone will need to help clean up the facilities. Various cleaning shifts will be available to sign up for during game registration.
