Important questions for the player base!

Post by Wyrmwrath »

On the topic of new camp....as I have stated elsewhere, I am looking for new camps on the behalf of
FH.

To that end I have a question to pose to the general public, and keep in mind, NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN RATIFIED BY THE GMs. I AM ASKING FOR REFFERENCE AND NEGOTIATION PURPOSES ONLY!:


Who among you would stop attending if FH went to 6 events a year at 35 dollars per event?


Next question:
Who among you would stop attending if FH went to 6 events a year at 40 dollars per event?

I have found camp well suited, and need to know what attendence will be like AND what is the max PCs can afford. Just an FYI the Brighton camp price is going up anyhow, so FH may be forced to ask for more for the events. I think if we have to pay more anyhow, we should do so for a better site.

Anyone that has questions is free to call me 586 604 5900

hmm, 35 is getting a little high, to suppor my crack... err rping habit, being poor student and all that, 40, is prbably beyond it.

thats like 70 per weekend from 40, or 80 from 40, when you consider the two of us.

I know Bradl or maybe doug s from carps, is looking into a few sites... maybe we could work in conjunction with carps, as many of us are cross over player?

I'm a junky for FH already, 1st time and I was hooked. Considering my financial situation is looking up I wouldn't be opposed to $40. It will depend though on recent events, bills, price of gas, etc. but I don't really think it would be too large of an obstacle.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I don't mind an increase. Doubling of cost might end up being too much for us to be able to come though.

I'd be fine with $40.00 an event six times a year, but I only play FH. I can see an issue for the FH/CARPS crowd that plays 16 times a year all together. $640.00 dollars a year is quite a hit for some people.

But, as I said, I am more than willing to shell out $240.00 a year for FH. $0.65 cents a day for Larping is one of the cheaper addictions I can think of supporting.

I'll have to second Steve's opinion that $40, or even $35 would probably be too expensive for us... at least while he is still in school. I could see going up to $25.

If I had $.65 per day.. I could feed like 6 kids in some third world country, or at least some blond chicks cheesy puff addiction.... :)

$25, would be ok.

Just to confirm. Yes indeed, the price for cabins at Brighten Rec. is increasing next year.

In order to reserve The Inn (Rustic #3 - 20 bunks) and Family Cabins 1 & 2 (8 bunks each - for a total of 38 bunks), the cost is $400 a weekend.

If we maintain the Brighton Rec. site - the price to play will have to increase.

To put that into perspective, how much do we currently pay for how many current bunks?

Starting next month the top 2 cabins are no longer available. So in order to get the lower cabin and 2 family cabins we are paying 240$ for the weekend. That price increases to 400$ next year.

I suspect that both carps and Final haven will need to raise prices to compensate for this, which is why we are looking for alternatives.

/me sighs, I just wish we had the resources to buy land for the two larps.

Anyone have any idea what that sort of thing would cost (I.e. How much of a down payment would be needed, if we went non-profit organization would it be easier, would we need to be a business or would we have to put the land in one persons name, etc etc)

If anyone knows the answers to these questions please contact me, the more I think about this idea the more feasible it becomes in my mind, but too many unknowns still exist.

Thanks,
Evan

Just to make certain that perspective issue got addressed ...

All three Frontier Cabins cost $275 a month.

Of course, as Evan said, this is no longer an option, as both Frontier 1 & 2 (the top Cabins - not sure how many bunks these contained) are no longer available.

$40 is a little too much IMO, I balk at the $30 for CARPS sometimes, and FH events mean I almost have to miss work on FRI which is another $100 out of my pocket. Which is why I rarely can make it to CARPS on Fri, I can't justify spending $1800+ a year to LARP.

36 bunks, is that enough to house the NPC's and all the PC's? For winter events maybe but the summer ones seem bigger than that.
