We understand that the primary purpose of a campaign is for the participants to have fun.  But we need the event to fit the store environment, so the following guidelines must be followed. If you cannot have fun while following these guidelines, please pick a different venue to host your campaign.

Schedule:  A mutually agreeable time must be set up. Note that even if we schedule a time for your campaign, priority is given to pay events. The Whiz Store reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a non-paying campaign day in favor of pay events, with or without notice.

Fees:  Payment is up to the games master. Some games masters charge fees as recompense for their planning time, or to fund the purchases of new campaign materials.  If any fee is charged, The Whiz Store will collect the fees at the door and split the proceeds with the games master. But no fee is mandatory, and we will happily host your campaign at no charge.

Rules of Conduct:

We feel that players in our store should be accountable to the usual social rules of a public place, if for no other reason than the store cannot afford to have gaming events make the store unattractive to other customers. We ask that the games master be responsible for ensuring the behavior of their group. This includes, but is not limited to, the following guidelines:

• The GM is PERSONALLY responsible for making sure all trash, especially food trash, goes into the cans in the back. If the space is consistently trashed, the GM will be asked to disband the group (or move it to the nearest pigsty, at their option.)
• The GM is PERSONALLY responsible for preventing players from bringing in outside food. The store has sodas and snacks available at reasonable prices.
• The GM is PERSONALLY responsible for making sure our language rules are enforced. The GM and players must refrain from swearing and the use of ethnic, sexual, scatological or religious pejoratives. We have mothers with five-year-olds in our store at all hours, who will rightfully be offended by potty language. If other customers complain about the group's language even once, or if store staff must repeatedly remind you about your language, the GM will be invited to disband the group.
• The GM is PERSONALLY responsible for enforcing hygiene rules. The GM and players are required to have bathed, used deodorant, and brushed their teeth at least once within the 24 hours before playing in the event. Complaints about 'gamers funk' will cause us to invite the GM to disband the group.

Intellectual Property: We sell pirate themed toys, but other pirates are not tolerated. You cannot use laptops and downloaded texts unless you can prove you also own the physical book. If we make a spot check and find you are violating copyright, the group will be permanently banned from using laptops at the store..

Rules Sets: We strongly encourage the use of current rules sets and systems carried by the store. If we have to make a choice between a group running a random game system we do not carry vs. a group running D&D 3.5 vs. a group running the current version of D&D, we will pick the group running the current version of D&D.
