Frequently Asked Questions.
What if I’m under 18?
Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Will there be alternative meal options for dietary restrictions?
We would love to accommodate, please email administration@forgegaming.us or DM an admin on Discord.
What are the sleeping arrangements?
For those that wish to get some sleep like normal humans, we will have dedicated men’s and women’s sleeping areas. This is a basic room with a hard floor, so you may want to bring a cot, mattress, pillows, blanket, sleeping bag or whatever camping style sleep gear you can.
What about safety considerations?
We have a background checked and trained volunteer team walking the building throughout the day and night. All doors will be locked at midnight. You are responsible for watching after any of your personal gear.
Why am I paying $35 to LAN?
If we could make these free we totally would! However, 100% of our costs go to providing an awesome LAN experience with meals, beverages, snacks, power, internet, a sweet venue, raffle and tournament prizes and anything else we need to LAN.
Is there a way to sponsor or support Forge LAN?
Hey, thanks for asking! Absolutely there is and we would be honored to have you be part of making Forge LAN amazing and reach more gamers. If you, your organization or company would like to support and sponsor in some way, please check out our Sponsorship Guide here!
Wait, is this a Christian LAN party?
Forge Gaming is a nonprofit gaming ministry which means that we think the most awesome and loving thing to do is share the story and message of Jesus to gamers and care for gamers in various ways. Everything at our LAN is optional including ways to learn about Jesus (StoryTime, Workshops, Forge Study). We aren’t just for Christians, and we are honored and respectful to anyone joining our LAN!
