The price for a full weekend event is $75. If you pre-register and pre-pay in the allotted time frame, the cost is $65. There is also a yearly membership fee of $20 due when you attend your fist event of the year.
Pre-registration & Pre-Pay: We strongly encourage you to pre-register for an event. Doing so will earn you an additional 0.5 CP. If you decide to also pre=pay you can save $10 on the event cost. Pre-pay and Pre-reg can be found under events in the Character Generator.
Post Event Letters (PELs): The Post-Event Letter is now available in the Character Generator. Filling one of these out is recommended as it earns you 0.5 CP and also keeps the staff up to date with what your character did over the weekend as well as allows them to address any problems.
