Bluebonnet shores

Our game is hosted at Bluebonnet Shores, formerly known as Camp Kachina. The camp covers 244 acres of the great outdoors on Lake Belton. Our site has camping in platform tents or temperature-controlled lodges. Bluebonnet Shores has great ecological diversity, offering the chance to experience the natural beauty of Texas.

Where can I sleep?

This webpage explains more about the areas of our campsite and what sort of bunks are available. The Camp Kachina site easily sleeps about 150 folks, plus tents brought by players. All bunks are first-come, first-served, with the exception of the Medical Sleep Cabin where priority should be given to folks who need electricity for CPAP and other machines, or who must be undisturbed during sleep. The medical cabin, labeled The Dogrun/Wigwam on our camp maps, is also a non-combat zone after dark due to the large amount of rocky terrain around this building.

Because we can’t guarantee medical cabin bunks will be available, players who need to sleep out-of-character can get a note on their character sheet at check-in. We recommend placing a sign above your bunk with a green or orange glowstick at night to indicate that you would prefer not to be targeted during nighttime combat and other modules. If you require additional accommodations, there are several hotels and airbnb locations nearby.

TENTS & SLEEPING

We will not raid tents between the hours of 3am and 8am. This includes raids from NPCs or PCs. When we raid a tent we will ask the players inside to come out; we do this to protect players and property. Players have sixty seconds to exit their tent, at which point they can respond to the attack. Players who do not exit their tent in sixty seconds will resume play in bleed-out, simulating that the characters were taken by surprise and could not defend themselves. 

OUT OF GAME SLEEP

If you require out-of-game sleep, we have a cabin set aside for that purpose (The Dogsrun/Wigwam on our map). However, in the event that this building reaches heavy capacity we will give preference to players with a doctor's note. If you want to sleep anywhere other than a tent out-of-character, please submit a doctor’s note which says that you require special sleep accommodations and you can safely participate in the events themselves.

Please scan and send this note to info@dystopiarisingtx.com. With that note on file, you will receive a sign off from our Logistics Coordinator that you can show to staff indicating that you are sleeping out-of-game and you cannot be attacked.
