A White Headband means a character is in the Umbra/Shadowlands. Humans by default are in the realm, and ghosts or spirits are by default in the spirit world. Werewolves live somewhere in between. If you are in the realm and don't have spirit sight or medium, you cannot perceive these characters in any way. If they effect the realm, you only see what is happening on this side of the gauntlet. If you can go into the Umbra/Shadowlands, you must wear a white headband at all times to show you are there. Please remember to speak in a whisper and be unobtrusive to those in the realm while in the umbra. Umbra people can take food from the realm and eat it without using a power, since starving ghosts are bad. If you are playing a character who is not familiar with supernatural things, you just don't notice it happening. For more information about the realm/umbra, please consult the rulebook. | A White Headband means a character is in the Umbra/Shadowlands.

Orange Headband[edit]
An orange headbands mean Out of Game. If you put on an orange headband, you should head to an OOG area as soon as you can. If you cannot find your headband, an alternative is to hold your weapon on top of your head or make a fist over your head to indicate you are out of game in a way that can be seen from a distance. Players and staff will also use Orange Headbands to deal with emergencies. If you have an OOG headband on, please actively avoid people in game so that you don't interrupt their scenes.
White Headband[edit]
A White Headband means a character is in the Umbra/Shadowlands. Humans by default are in the realm, and ghosts or spirits are by default in the spirit world. Werewolves live somewhere in between. If you are in the realm and don't have spirit sight or medium, you cannot perceive these characters in any way. If they effect the realm, you only see what is happening on this side of the gauntlet. If you can go into the Umbra/Shadowlands, you must wear a white headband at all times to show you are there. Please remember to speak in a whisper and be unobtrusive to those in the realm while in the umbra. Umbra people can take food from the realm and eat it without using a power, since starving ghosts are bad. If you are playing a character who is not familiar with supernatural things, you just don't notice it happening. For more information about the realm/umbra, please consult the rulebook.
Headbands and Other Signals in the Dark[edit]
At night it can be hard to tell if someone is wearing a headband. Calling "OOG!", "Umbra" or "Cloak" if someone tries to interact with you in game works best. They still hear some ghostly sounds, but no one is there. No rewinds mean that your character still hears something, but it must have been the wind (or your own paranoia!). Some people in the Umbra/Shadowlands wear a blue light. It just has to be visible; try not to blind people.
