Badges: Convention badges must be worn at all times in convention areas. We recommend wearing your badge on a lanyard or clipped to your collar so it is easily visible. Do not lose your badge—replacements may cost full price. Only attendees with badges will be admitted to events. Event hosts are responsible for ensuring this policy is followed.
Smoking: Smoking is prohibited in all public areas. Smoking is permitted outdoors but not within 25 feet of doors or open windows, per Washington State law.
Alcohol: Attendees age 21 and older may possess and consume alcoholic beverages in their hotel rooms and in the hotel bar. Per Washington State law, persons under 21 may not possess alcohol. Alcohol purchased outside the hotel may not be consumed in public areas, including hallways and outdoor spaces. Groups wishing to host an event where alcohol will be served must obtain written permission from the convention beforehand. Anyone consuming alcohol purchased outside the hotel in gaming areas, or anyone deemed inebriated, will be asked to leave the gaming area.
Weapons & Props: Hazardous ornaments, weapons, costume weapons, and similar items are not allowed inside the convention.
Children: Children are welcome at DFGC but must be under reasonable supervision. Game hosts are not responsible for babysitting, including in the family activities area. Game hosts may decide whether children may play at their tables. Any age restrictions are listed on Tabletop.Events. Know where your children are, and ensure they know where you are. Set a specific meeting time and place whenever you will be in different areas, even briefly. Establish a code phrase or action for situations where you may need to send someone else to retrieve your child. Ultimate responsibility for your children’s safety lies with you. DFGC and the Hilton Hotel will support you as best we can. If a crisis arises, contact convention staff or hotel staff immediately.
Conduct & Responsibility: As guests of the Hilton Hotel, attendees are expected to behave appropriately. You are responsible for your actions, must pay for any damage you cause, and may face civil or criminal charges. Unauthorized activities are determined at the discretion of the Convention Director, DFGC Board members, DFGC Officers, and Hilton Hotel staff. These individuals have the authority to remove anyone engaging in unauthorized activities. A Code of Conduct is posted at the Registration Desk; all attendees are expected to follow it or risk removal from the convention.
Footwear: Bare feet are not permitted in the hotel except inside personal hotel rooms.
Photography: Photography and video recording are not allowed in the Dealer Room. They are permitted throughout the rest of the convention as long as they do not disrupt traffic flow and subjects do not object. Please be considerate and ask permission before taking photos, and obtain parental or guardian approval before photographing minors. If you are approached and asked to delete any recorded media, please respect the requester’s wishes.
To help identify attendees who prefer not to be photographed, Registration provides orange badge ribbons and orange lanyards. If you see someone wearing these, please refrain from taking their photo.
