Chapter 3 - Visitors Guide to The Big House

  VISITOR’S GUIDE TO THE BIG HOUSE

  Issued by Authority of The Spindle | Public Access Document

  The last jewel of the Eastern Coast, The Big House stands as a beacon of stability, safety, and opportunity. Whether you're here to barter, connect to the OmniNet, or rest weary feet in the cleanest dome this side of the Divide, we welcome all travelers with verified entry codes or provisional credits.

  WHAT THE BIG HOUSE OFFERS

  The Arena

  The continent's last sanctioned combat zone. Witness glory, carnage, and ascension in the only place where every fight matters. Champions rise as legends fall, experience history where and when it happens. A few lucky lottery winners may receive authentic gear, still warm from its defeated former wielder.

  Multiple tiers of immersion available, from basic sim to full-risk Deep Dive. Casual players can enjoy competitive scenarios with full body-swap experiences: play as a different sex, species, or even as a legendary monster. Want to fight as a twelve-limbed celestial beast? You can! If you survive the first rounds.

  Higher tiers offer greater risk and rewards. Restricted templates allow gladiators to earn rare classes, powerful mutations, and epic race unlocks.

  Championship matches are broadcast across the OmniNet but come to The Big House for the premiere viewing experience. One real death or debilitating injury is all but guaranteed in every season finale. After all, what’s life without risk? Some lucky viewers may even get to participate!

  BEFORE YOU ENTER

  All weapons must be tagged and locked by entry drones. Exceptions can be made for live dueling, bounty hunting, and recreation.

  Only pre-authorized participants and their support staff are authorized to enter the Sensation Halls, for your comfort and safety.

  Tampering with Archive Terminals or Fuel Pods will result in instant dismemberment by security constructs.

  No Framework gear may be worn, carried, or sold inside the walls. Store it in the shielded lockers that are generously provided, detection equals vaporization.
