97 Poets of Revachol is a participatory experience and there are many ways to join.
The Sign-Up
The player signup starts on the 18th of December 2024 and ends on the 5th of January 2025. All signups received in this period will have the same chance of getting a spot.
We offer several types of tickets:
- Standard tickets cost 360 EUR and cover the full participation fee.
- Subsidized tickets cost 150 EUR, and you can apply for them if your circumstances don't allow you to afford a higher price. We will have a lottery for 13 subsidised spots.
- Understudy tickets cost 50 EUR, and they do not get a role right away. Instead, they are guaranteed last-minute places on their run. If there is a last-minute cancellation in the last two weeks before the larp, the spot is given to you - guaranteed. They are ideal for players who are flexible in what they play, tight on funds, and can't jump in last minute unscheduled. If there are no last-minute cancellations, we will thank the heavens for that miracle, invite you to come run the larp with us and play some fun short-term roles, and give you your money back - or you can not come and also get the money back.
- You can also opt-in for sponsor tickets and decide to pay us more. You will not get any special treatment or merch for that, but it will help us run more larps.
The signup form is fairly short and will only take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. We collect some personal data, and you will see our data processing statement in the form. After the signup, we will do a flagging round and then choose participants by lottery. Outside of taking flagging information into account, please expect our lottery to be a pure lottery - whether you get a spot is determined by luck, even if we'd love to see you. After you get a spot, you will have two weeks to log into the system we use, LarpManager, to confirm your interest in the game. You will be able to pay for your ticket, buy accommodation, and fill out casting preferences in LarpManager.
If you do not get a spot, we will be happy to place you on a waiting list, and you can expect that we will likely get to you anyway!
Flagging
97 Poets of Revachol is a larp with heavy themes, and we will play close emotional connections in confined spaces. Since we wish to make this experience as safe as possible, the sign-up process will have a part where signed-up players can flag other players.
The flagging process will make use of a Yellow and Red flag system. After the signup interval is over, everyone who signed up will be contacted and asked if they wish to flag any other player. The system is as follows:
- Yellow Flag: "I do not wish to play closely with this person."
- Red Flag: "I believe that this person poses a risk to other players and that they should not be allowed to attend the larp."
If you Yellow flag another player, we will ensure you won't play closely with that player and try to place you in different runs if possible. If you red flag another player, we will contact you for more information and handle the situation based on the information available to us.
The only people who will have access to the flagging data are the members of our Safety Team.
The Unseen
As usual, the Unseen characters will be handled a little bit differently. First of all, they have a separate sign-up process with slightly different questions. You can sign up for both standard and Unseen characters, but you will have to fill out two separate forms. The Unseen will be selected by our team based on their answers in the form and how we think they fit with the sort of experience the Unseen have. A blog on the Unseen and their game can be read here.
The casting process will start after the spots are assigned, and we will assign a character to everyone before the payment deadline.
Cancellation terms
After you get a spot, you will get a payment deadline (about a month after signing up). The fee must be paid by the last day of the deadline. Any unpaid spots after the payment deadline will be cancelled and advertised to the waiting list players.
After the payment deadline, the cancellation fee is 10% of the ticket price. Four months before the game or less, the cancellation fee rises to 50% of the ticket price. A month before the game or less, the cancellation fee is 100% of the ticket price. Participants cannot sell or transfer tickets themselves - all replacements must go through the organisers.
Join the crew
We are a volunteer-based team trying to make a dream come alive. Do you want to help? That's great to hear! We are always looking for people to:
- Help out with the administration and comms.
- Help with cleaning and setting up the venue in the summer of 2025.
- Make props or help our scenography team transform the venue into a piece of Revachol.
Do you have another great idea on how you can help? Awesome!
Just write to us at revachol@rolling.cz and we will get back to you.
