When do tickets go on sale?
Ticket sales open on Sunday 15 March 2026, and a link will be posted on this website and in the Wellspring community Discord server.
How much will tickets cost?
$180 for players ($170 for NZLARPS members) or $85 for crew ($80 for NZLARPS members). This includes participation in the game, accommodation at the camp on Friday and Saturday night, and fully-catered meals on-site.
What happens if I'm too late to get a player ticket?
If player tickets sell out, you can sign up to join a waitlist for the game. If anyone who bought a ticket is unable to come to the game, the next person on the waitlist will be offered the opportunity to buy a ticket. Alternatively, if you want to participate but no player tickets are currently available, you also have the option of signing up as crew.
Will more tickets be available?
Not for game one; there are limits to how many players we can accommodate and plan for.
Can I send you a character sheet now?
You're welcome to send in a sheet or a concept, but the GMs will not be checking or approving characters until after tickets go on sale. If you want to ask about a character concept or check details of how something might work, you're welcome to email emberslarp@gmail.com and we'll get back to you.
What is involved in player character approval?
The GMs will read every player character sheet submitted and check that it works with the setting and the story being told in Wellspring. If anything doesn't quite fit the lore or seems likely to cause you problems, we'll be in touch to discuss it. This isn't a critique - we approve characters to confirm that anything you say in your backstory is true now, or at least your character should believe it's true, and the world should acknowledge it.
As a crew member, can I send you a character concept?
In general, no; we will write characters for you as part of the world and story of the game. However, you will have an opportunity to tell us the kind of characters you might like to play, and we'll keep that in mind when we write.
I have accessibility needs or may need other accommodations to participate. Will that be ok?
We hope so! You can email us to discuss your specific needs, and we'll work to accommodate them if we can. There will also be an opportunity to flag accessibility needs if you buy a ticket, in which case we will get in touch with you to discuss what that looks like.
