NERO Massachusetts and You
What Happens for Area Businesses
When a NERO chapter moves to your area, it brings with it a customer base
that is polite, well behaved, and friendly. Area businesses will often find an increase in
sales on the weekends our events are run. In particular, our players tend to frequent
mid-price restaurants, hardware stores, convenience and food markets, and a mix of other
shops, before, during, and after our events.
Occasionally, you may find one of our players arriving at your place of
business looking bruised and battered! While they may be exhausted from all the fun
they're having, it's not likely those marks are real. Look more closely and you may see a
theatrical make-up job that the player was too tired to remove, or which is needed for an
upcoming scene. You also may find players arriving in strange medieval costumes and odd
character makeup, such as skeletons, goblins, catlike humans, and so on. Have no fear!
It's all in fun.
