Carnage 24

Lost in the Carnage Triangle

November 5-7, 2021

Welcome to the 24th year of Northern New England's best tabletop gaming convention. Join us for a weekend of board, role playing, card and miniatures gaming.

After the long year plus of the pandemic we are excited to get back to in person gaming in our new home at Mt Snow.

This year's Theme is Carnage: Lost in the Carnage Triangle. We hope that this theme will inspire a plethora of strange and wonderful tales of paranormal activity, strange disappearances and out of this world adventures!

We are also pleased to announce that we will be able to offer expanded gaming on Friday of the convention. We will offer an Open Gaming session from 8a-12p on Friday morning with scheduled gaming sessions starting at 1pm!

COVID and Carnage 2021

September 2021 - Carnage COVID Policy

Currently, the State of Vermont has no restrictions concerning social gatherings and events. But, with the pandemic still raging, we have decided we must update our COVID policy.

To pick up your Carnage badge at our registration desk, each badge holder will have to show the following: 1. A photo ID AND 2. A COVID vaccine card OR a negative COVID test.

For a COVID vaccine card, we will accept the physical card, or a photograph of your vaccine card. You must be fully vaccinated by the time you arrive at Carnage. Fully vaccinated means it has been at least two weeks since your Johnson & Johnson dose or your second Pfizer or Moderna dose.

For a negative COVID test, it must be taken 72 hours prior to your arrival at Carnage and not be an antigen test.

For minors, photo ID will not be required but they will still have to show a vaccine card or negative COVID test.

You will need a badge to enter any Carnage convention spaces at Mount Snow. There will be no exceptions!

Carnage will require that every attendee, vendor, and volunteer sign or agree to a general liability waiver. This waiver was recommended last year to the Carnage Board before the decision was made to cancel the in-person convention and would have been implemented then and moving forward.

Carnage will adhere to State and convention center COVID guidelines. In addition, Carnage is planning on:

• Spreading gaming tables further apart to allow ease of movement and less congestion around gaming spaces.

• Providing a Carnage cloth face mask to all attendees.

• Having hand washing stations and hand sanitizer throughout the convention spaces. Please use them often!

• Requiring correct contact information when signing up for the convention to allow us to have accurate information in the event contact tracing is needed.

• Allowing only badge holders into the convention spaces. Non- gaming guests may register for a free Guest Badge at the main registration desk during the convention. Guest badges are subject to the same rules as all other badges and must show ID and a COVID vaccine card or negative COVID test to get the badge.

• Masks will be required to be worn properly while anyone is riding on the Carinthia shuttle.

Please keep in mind that the decision we have made is subject to change. As we all have seen over the past year, this pandemic has caused many changes in policies. While we all hope things are back on track to normal, we all know that we are not out of this pandemic yet. We will announce any changes if they happen.

Stay home if you are feeling sick or have symptoms of COVID 19. Protect yourself and others and get your COVID vaccine if you can.

Questions about the Carnage COVID policy may be directed to the 2021 Carange Board President Joshua McGary at jmcgary@carnagecon.com.
