Melee Weapons:

• Any melee weapon or shield which is legal under the safety rules for Amtgard may be used. (link to rulebook. warning: PDF)

• Any melee weapon, shield, gunblade, or bayonet which is legal under the safety rules for The Evergreen State College's "Zombies@Evergreen" Humans vs Zombies student group may be used. (Link to rules - Weapon Safety Rules begin on Page 6)

Shields:

Two kinds of shields, "Small" and "Large". Anyone may use "Small" shields. "Large" shields have restrictions. But beware - shields are NOT totally indestructible! 

• "Small": Any official NERF product with the word "Shield" in the official product name, may be used as a shield to block darts (N-Force Stonewall Shield, Modulus Shield, etc - see the full rules google doc for details on what counts)

• "Large": Any LARP shield (must be Amtgard-legal or Evergreen-Z@E-legal) may be used to block darts. But when using a "Large" LARP shield, you can only use pistols and/or melee weapons. 

• Hits from "Bazooka" missiles destroy shields AND instantly kill the person who was using the shield (the Titan missile, Tri-strike, Demolisher, BBUMB, Big Blast, etc - again, see the full rules google doc for details on what counts)

Check the FB event for where they meet initially. 

They play all over the entire freakin college campus though.

 

They will have a college classroom where they meet and go over rules of play, and you'll be able to keep your stuff in this room during play. At the game last year, they had a moderator in this room at all times to guard against theft.

A student group on a college campus in Bellingham.

 

(again, I am just some guy on the internet, i'm not the hosts)

(however, I *am* a host of THIS game...)

 

 

Eye Protection: 

NOT required. 

 

 

Gametypes:

I went last year, and they played four game rounds throughout the day, only two of which had zombies in them, the other two were team-based pvp. I dunno what will be played this year. 

 

 

 

Banned/Allowed Blasters

Blasters are banned on the college campus based on if their shadow/silhouette looks too realistic. The game staff maintains a whitelist of allowed blasters. Anything not on the whitelist is banned. That list is here: http://wwuhumansvszombies.com/arsenal.php (also: Ignore the part about electric blasters - they are not restricted at these two events)

 

(I talked to an organizer, and they said this is a restriction imposed on them by the campus police. )

 

 

No Modded Blasters:

Blasters cannot have ANY **internal** modifications. Totally stock internals only!

**External** mods such as picatinny rail adapters, recon pump grips, etc are allowed though.

 

 

Painted Blasters: 

Painting is discouraged but not banned outright. If a blaster is painted, the paint MUST be LIGHTER colors than the original blaster. Orange plastic counts as white. No realistic metallic paint (silver, gunmetal etc) but other metallic colors are allowed (gold, copper, etc)

 

(I talked to an organizer, and they said this is a restriction imposed on them by the campus police. )

 

 

Darts/Ammo:

No off-brand darts of any kind. stock actual-nerf-darts only. Additionally, due to risk of eye injury, Nerf-brand Velcro-tipped dart tag darts are banned unless you individually remove the velcro from each dart tip.

 

(I talked to an organizer, and they said this is a legal liability thing imposed on them by the the college attorneys)

 

 

Tacticool Gear:

Tactical vests/MOLLE gear is Allowed. HOWEVER: Camo patterns currently in use by the US military are NOT allowed (digicam/acu), but retired camo patterns (woodland camo, etc) and foreign military camo patterns (flecktarn, etc) are allowed. Solid colors such as black, OD green, desert tan, grey, etc. are also allowed.

 

(I talked to an organizer, and they said this is a restriction imposed on them by the campus police. )
