Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Our NERO LARP Policies & Decisions

10/14/2003: Question: May we use the term Rom or Romani in our in-game Gypsy Race Handbooks and Histories?

Answer: No. The term Rom, Romani, Romanes, Romany are no longer to be used to depict our Gypsy Race/Culture. This policy is to avoid possibly Insulting any of those cultural groups who are represented by the same name.

7/15/2003 Question: Are we permitted to work with other non-NERO LARPS?

Answer: Yes. Working with other LARPS is a terrific idea provided the other LARPS are sincere and honest with their intentions. NERO® chapters have enjoyed excellent working relationships in the past with several other LARPs including Ampgard, Dagor’hir, Seer Productions, Uberheim, Realms of Adventures, and many more. By working with other organizations in the industry, we can present our professional attitudes and show by example that LARP staff can provide quality customer service and genuinely care about entertaining others. When presented in this manner, by our highly skilled Chapter Owners and Staff, those whom play and prospecting may be more likely to play a LARP, and even more likely to come play NERO®. Any LARP that allows for NERO Characters to be brought into their game is absolutely shunned by NERO National and the NERO Office as this is seen as gaining one of the benefits of NERO® without being part of NERO®, held accountable by NERO®, or restricted by NERO®.

Question: Are we permitted to give Goblin Stamps to our members for attending non-NERO® LARP’s as PC’s or NPC’s?

Answer: No. Though we should work with other LARPS, we shouldn’t give away the Benefits of being with NERO®. Goblin Stamps are one of the ways that NERO® Members may be compensated by NERO for their efforts and donations. We have strict stipulations on the distribution and use of Goblin Stamps within NERO®, both out of game and in-game. Non-NERO® LARP’s are not permitted to issue Goblin Stamps to NERO® Members. NERO® would have no control over the general distribution of Goblin Stamps from non-NERO® organizations and the influx of NERO® Goblin Stamps from Non-NERO® Sources could also undermine game balance scaling that may be done in regards to Goblin Stamps distributed and redeemed by NERO® members. Placing a restriction upon the incoming of Goblin Stamps from non-NERO® Larp’s would add further sentences to our policies.

The NERO® Office instituted NERO® Members to receive the benefits of Goblin Stamps for Volunteering there time and resources to NERO first, and to other area LARP’s second. The NERO® Office forbids the acceptance of non-NERO® LARP issued NERO® Goblin Stamps to NERO® members in attendance at there non-NERO® games. Each of the Local Chapters is encouraged to promote the other NERO® chapters, and to make visits to each Chapter in the area to show there support for them, if at all possible.

Question: Can we take a character from another LARP or Non-NERO® Rule Book Campaign and transfer it into a NERO® Rule Book Campaign as a NERO® character?

Answer: No. NERO® prohibits non NERO® Characters from Transferring into NERO® Games. Likewise, Characters from Campaigns ‘based upon the NERO® rules’ such as Dark Legends of the Shadow Realms (DLSR), Wildlands, & Crossroads may never transfer into Tyrran Campaigns or vice-versa.
