Please return them to the “used” laundry hamper at the conclusion of your play. If these items have been soiled by blood please place them in a plastic garbage bag prior to placing them into the laundry hamper. 28. Do not abuse a reasonable time limit on the dungeon equipment. Be aware of others waiting to play. Scenes should be limited to 1 hour unless arranged in advance with the DM in charge. 29. If in very rare occasions because of anticipated heavy usage PEER has instituted a limit on play time on equipment ,respect yourself and partner, and others by limiting your time on the equipment so that the DM’s do not have to intervene. 30. PEER has some of the strongest and well designed play equipment anywhere in the world, but prior to play please review the safety and suitability of the equipment prior to the commencement of play for loose, broken and/or warn parts and determine to your own and your partners satisfaction both the condition of and the suitability of the equipment for the play intended. If you have questions as to the suitability for your play please contact the head DM. If you note a potential deficiency to a particular piece of equipment please bring it to the attention of the DM staff so they may consider either repair or removal from usage. Play safe! 31. We recommend that despite the policy of the PEER Event Space, that the prior user has adequately cleaned the PEER Equipment, that you own safety clean the Play Equipment prior to usage. 32. Clean all equipment and the surrounding areas after your scene with the cleaning supplies provided. Immediately dispose of all cleaning supplies in the receptacles provided. 33.

PEER Group maintains one of the best Event Space resources of equipment, tools, and safety equipment of anywhere in the country. This resource is available to you through the DM’s Please do not enter into these supplies or equipment without a member of the DM committee, but do not hesitate to avail yourself of it’s existence if you have dead batteries or forgot your suspension cuffs. It is there to support your play. 39. PEER Event Space is equipped with a great sound system and you are welcome to play your favorite scene music, time permitting. However, at any given time there may be 10-20 scenes going on so the idea that everyone will get to scene to that very special track is probably not going to happen. Be respectful or at least try to be, of others choices of music. The DM or the PEER Music Committee is in charge of the sound in the Event Space and no one but those people are permitted to change the music or operate the sound system. There will be no cutting off of a music track so as to have “dead air” in the Event Space, and you may be ask to leave the Event Space for doing so. See a DM to have your track played during an event. 40.
