NWLarpers Departments

The departments which run the whole of the NWLarpers organization, and keep the Shadow Accord game going, serve very specific purposes. Below is a general description of each department, their primary email address, and their main forum or important links. If you have a question for one of them, feel free to send them an email or even consider creating a thread in one of their main forums. You can also pose questions in General Discussion forum, or in one of the social networking groups listed at the bottom of this page. The community is pretty open to helping out.

Character Guides (CGs)

The Character Guides help players create and develop new characters. All characters must be vetted by the Character Guides before it can be played at event or in forum RP. This should be done by emailing them your character concept before event. This is not to restrict concepts, but to ensure that they fit within the setting of the game and will ultimately be enjoyable for you to play.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Characters that are of a Tier Restricted sub-faction MUST be approved prior to Friday of Event. No exceptions.
