The quarter management organises and manages the campsites of a player camp. Together with the Krähenmeisterei, they are the organisational backbone of the campsite. The people who take on this position usually come from the group or camp organisation and already have experience in looking after groups of players.

Even before arrival, the quarter managers measure their meadow, draw the camp structure and plan the layout of the pitches. During the year, they support the players in their camp with the correct entry in the online tool and work closely with the Burgschneider event team to ensure a structured and functional camp layout.

During the arrival phase, the quarter managers welcome the arriving players, show them to their campsites and help them set up the camp areas. Newcomers in particular benefit from their support as they quickly find their feet and settle into camp life.

During the course of the event, the quarter managers are in close contact with the Krähenmeisterei and provide support with organisational tasks. At the end of the event, they take care of the inspection of the campsites and ensure that the camp is left tidy and clean.

Playmakers support and promote the game. They act as a (plot) information hub between the player camps (or NPCs) and the crow mastery or Regie. They ensure a two-way flow of information and help to coordinate actions, plots and scenes.

The scope of their tasks is flexible and ranges from smaller roles, such as delivering messages, to the supervision of plots, similar to an Gamemaster. You can spread information within a camp or act as a link between the players and the Regie.

For optimal integration, we recommend 1 to 3 playmakers per camp or quarter.

It is important to note that playmakers who only take on this role and do not fulfil any other positions do not receive all the benefits of a full team member (such as free entry, food or a place to sleep).

The NPC Crow Mastery is the central office of the NPC area and takes on a variety of organisational and support tasks to ensure the smooth running of the event, especially for the NPCs.

1. Management
The Krähenmeisterei is responsible for the planning and management of materials and equipment. This includes the organisation of material requirements, the distribution of arrows and bolts, and the management of radio equipment. It also takes care of information boards, shift schedules, procedures, supports the NPC check-in and organises other logistical details on site.
At the end of the event, the focus is on checking the campsite, collecting and returning material and securing and handing over found items and equipment.

2. NPC support
In co-operation with the responsible supervisors (Verantwortliche Betreuer, VB), NPC groups are accompanied by the Crowmasters during special events, Kids Town missions or special scenes. The organisation of NPC plot points, support for scenes and the accompaniment of special NPCs also fall within this area of responsibility.

3. Battlefield support
The Crowmasters are also present on the battlefield. They support the team members of the battlemasters by accompanying the action, reacting to problems and acting as gamemaster where necessary. They ensure that the NPCs can fulfil their tasks, are available as contacts and help to maintain immersion for everyone involved.

During the arrival phase, the NPC quarter managers are responsible for organising and looking after the NPC campsites. They support the NPC check-in, welcome the arriving NPCs and show them their assigned campsites. They help with measuring and marking the camp areas. Newcomers in particular receive support to help them quickly find their way around.

In addition to their main task during the arrival phase, the quarter managers support the NSC crow mastery with organisational tasks and help with the campsite inspection on the day of departure.

The battlemaster is responsible for planning and organising the battles during the event. They ensure that each battle is dramaturgically appealing and runs smoothly.

The tasks include defining the objectives with the Regie, organising the water supply, paramedics and the implementation of scenes directly on the battlefield. The battlemasters works closely with the responsible supervisors (VB) and the NPC crow mastery.

As this is a position with a limited number of places, it is only possible to apply after prior consultation with the Regie. If you are interested in joining the team, we recommend that you also indicate an alternative position that could be considered.
