Venue
Vanitas takes place at a scenic private vacation rental in Ellijay, Georgia, USA, about a 90 minute drive from Atlanta. The exact address will be sent to participants a few months before the event. The nearest airport is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). You’ll need to arrange your own transport to the venue, but we’ll help you coordinate carpooling with your fellow players.
Sleeping
Most rooms have double- or queen-sized beds, which will be designated to two players to share. Due to the constraints of the venue, it will not be possible to provide any participant their own room.
There are a few single beds within the higher occupancy bunk rooms, if any participants cannot share a bed for logistical, safety, or medical reasons. However, those participants will need to be prepared for less space, quiet, and privacy in exchange for not sharing a bed.
Accessibility
The site is not wheelchair accessible. There is, however, a bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the first floor, for participants with mobility issues who can climb stairs but find excessive stair-climbing physically arduous or draining. Please communicate in your sign-up form if you require the first-floor accommodation in order to participate comfortably in this larp.
Accessibility will be taken into account and accommodations made wherever possible, so long as accommodations are requested in advance of the larp. This is designed to be a somewhat physically intense larp, so any participants with concerns should communicate those concerns during sign-ups.
Due to the vastness of the grounds and surrounding area, we will implement a communication system to ensure the safety of players who venture into nature to create art, as well as to ensure play for participants who are physically confined to the cabin. This system will allow players with limited mobility to communicate with co-players outside of the cabin, so that time and energy is not wasted waiting or searching for players who would otherwise be difficult to locate.
