2022 Winter Feast
Hello everyone,
It is with great sadness that we must announce that we will not be having an in person Feast in February 2022.
While we have made the decision to host outdoor in-person events with restrictions, the current COVID numbers and Michigan's vaccination rate make us hesitant in our ability to safely host an indoor Feast event. With how far in advance reservations need to be made, a decision needed to be made now, despite the uncertainty of the future.
The Game Master staff is actively working on something that can be done in its place, including discussing the logistics of an in-person Summer feast. An announcement will be sent out to the membership as soon as a decision has been reached.
In the mean time, we look forward to the time that we get to spend together at the events, and we hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy.
We look forward to what the 2022 season will hold,
-Board of Directors
Role Play Only Events (RPOE)
The Board of Directors has just passed a proposal that creates 4 extra events per year taking place approxamately 2 weeks after the April, May, September, and October events. You may see them on the calendar as Role Play Only Events (RPOE).
These events will cost $15 for the weekend, and are designed for roleplay. As such, combat mechanics, crafting, and plot will be turned off.
Alcohol will be permitted to be consumed by participants 21 and over; all participants are required to sign in and show a valid ID as proof of age. All participants in RPO events will be granted 10xp for attending, and will be able to do a separate sign out form that is due by Wednesday at 11:59pm following the event. The RPOE sign-out cannot be submitted prior to the start of the corresponding RPOE event, and will be applied after the following regular event.
Please see the below link for more details.

8 Hours, Cannabis to Combat
The Board of Directors has passed a new policy proposed by the Safety director in regards to the use of cannabis at Kanar.
The new policy reads as follows:
8 Hours, Cannabis to Combat
The KGE Board of Directors acknowledges that cannabis use is recreationally legal for adults in the state of Michigan and that some members of our organization engage in the use of prescription cannabis for health reasons. The Board of Directors understands that cannabis may have an intoxicating effect on persons not actively consenting to consume the substance based on proximity, and that intoxication times vary depending on the method of consumption. It is our mission to ensure that persons participating in KGE events do so in a manner that is safe and fun for all members. Therefore, the KGE Board of Directors has set forth this statement of policy to be followed by all members of KGE.
1) No cannabis is to be consumed on the field of play during any KGE event.
2) Persons consuming cannabis in accordance with prescription may do so in the KGE event parking lot. Persons who medicate using methods which produce smoke or vapor must be inside a closed vehicle at least 50 feet from the field of play.
3) Persons consuming cannabis during a dry KGE event shall not be allowed to participate in any combat for eight hours from the last moment of consumption. This includes prescription cannabis consumed according to section two (above) and recreational cannabis consumed off-site.
4) Persons who have waited the required eight hours and are still unable to safely engage in combat due to intoxication may be removed from combat by a member of the Safety Response Team until the substance has been better metabolized and the person can safely engage in combat again. Abuse of this section will not be tolerated and repeated removal from combat will be considered a violation of this policy.
5) Any person found in violation of this policy will immediately be removed from the field of play, and the member of staff who conducted the removal shall issue a JRB request for that person.
6) Second time offenders of this policy will lose their KGE membership rights for one year.
7) Third time offenders of this policy will lose their KGE membership rights from that point forward.
