The most important rule of FallCon is to have fun! That said, we do have a few policies that help make the Con a safe & enjoyable space for all gamers. If you witness unacceptable conduct, ask the offender to stop and/or notify Organizers (wearing a yellow lanyard or a hat with a colourful feather), immediately.
By agreeing to join our Convention as a participant, you are agreeing to the guidelines below.
Respect – Don’t harass other attendees. If you’re being harassed by someone, please ask them to stop or let one of the Organizing Committee know immediately and we will handle it. FallCon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free convention experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, political views, technology choices or religious beliefs. We do not tolerate harassment of convention participants in any form. See our full anti-harassment policy below.
Sportsmanship – Don’t be a jerk.
Cosplay - Feel free to cosplay while gaming, as long as your badge remains visible while seated and you have no weapons (real or facsimile).
Photos and Videos - The FallCon Gaming Society will have photographers and videographers on location during the convention. They are identifiable by a white lanyard. Your registration for FallCon constitutes your consent to have your photo and/or video taken during the convention. Any such images are property of the FallCon Gaming Society and may be used for future promotional and/or marketing material at the Society’s discretion, without compensation or notification.
Lost Items / Theft – FallCon is not responsible for any lost or stolen property, but we do have a lost and found at the registration desk.
Games - FallCon Library games cannot be taken outside of the Gym. Ask before opening or using any game other than your own. Return any loose parts to the Library so they can be reunited with their games.
Food and Beverages – Food and non-alcoholic beverages are permitted in the gaming area; please protect the games, and dispose of garbage promptly. Neither alcohol nor any illicit substance is permitted.
Pets - No pets are permitted in the Convention.
Badges – Admissions are one price for each day or for the weekend, regardless of how many hours or which events are attended. Badges are not transferable once checked-in.
Children – All attendees must have a valid FallCon badge. Badges for attendees 12 and under are free, but they must be accompanied by an adult.
Badges and Lanyards – No swapping / lending of badges or lanyards is permitted. Badges should always be visible when seated. Lanyards are colour coded to identify roles, so please continue to use the colour we gave you at registration.
Payment – All badges are listed and charged in US dollars; only cash on-site purchases will be in Canadian funds. The specialised convention software we use integrates registration, hosted games, and the library but is not yet able to support billing in Canadian funds.
Refunds / Substitutions – You can receive a full refund by requesting one through TableTopEvents. Refunds are available until the badge file is sent to the printer, about one week before the convention. Before entry to the convention, the name on any unused badge may be substituted at the registration desk.
Respect your fellow gamers, our volunteers and vendors!
For clarity and for everyone’s comfort, you should always...
