The participant’s opinion
Witcher School, and its community, are an incredibly unique experience. Here, you will see so many people, from all walks of life, step forward and live in this powerful setting. I have never known a home as warm and loving as the WS community. This collection of nerds, geeks, warriors and survivors have gladly taken me in, and helped me find my own strength within myself.
The worldwide community of Witcher School made me feel accepted the way I am and even more – players and NPCs alike helped me cross my borders to challenging situations and celebrate every success together. This “game” affected my real life in the most positive way, because …after all: the emotions, the memories and most of all the friendships are real!
I did something incredibly brave and stupid and got on a plane alone to a foreign country I had never been to. I had a list of names, a costume, and dreams of being a witcher in my head. And I don’t regret it. I say that somewhere timid Izzy found her voice in Poland. And I thank the whole team for that newfound confidence I gained from my character.

Out of game The Witcher School has a very firm policy on discrimination of any kind, physical and emotional violence - and such behavior will not be tolerated.
In game it is possible to encounter themes of violence (including sexual), racism, classism, sexism, poverty, war, hunger, disability, sickness, manipulation, etc. It is possible to not have any of these themes included directly in your character sheet, but we do not warrant that you will not come in contact with the mentions of those themes.
The participant’s safety is a key value for us. Witcher School is preceded by a series of workshops explaining the safety mechanics and tools that are meant to ensure the players have adequate tools to stay safe during the game.

A trained medical professional is available on site. Any and all issues can be raised with the organizer team.
