The Denver Comic Con 2014 at the Convention Center on Friday, June 13, 2014. (Kathryn Scott Osler, The Denver Post)

Denver Comic Con is , so get your boffers and lobsters ready!

Before you head down to the Colorado Convention Center on Saturday, though, let’s take a minute to remember some rules and safety guidelines:

General rules:

• This is a safe space — no harassment. Seriously.
• Don’t leave your kids unattended.
• Don’t alter, copy, transfer or lose your badge.
• Respect artists and their work (don’t mess them up with your drinks or greasy hands!)
• You gotta wear shoes, in costume or out.
• No outside food or drink.
• No cutting in line.

.

If you’re going to cosplay:

• Weapons must be checked and peace-bonded by DCC staff.
• Prop firearms must be orange-capped, no matter how ludicrously unrealistic.
• No metal weapons or projectiles. (nope, no airsoft)
• Wooden or metal bats (or similar) are prohibited.
• No inappropriate signs.
• Don’t brandish prop weapons or make other threatening gestures.
• Keep military-style uniforms in good taste.
• Keep it PG, people! That means, as DCC’s rules say, “cover your bits.”

.

Common sense-type stuff:

• Stay hydrated.
• Cosplay is not consent. Don’t touch.
• If you want to take a photo with a cosplayer, respectfully ask.
• Respect your fellow conventioneers.
• Travel in groups, especially if you leave the convention center.
• Don’t overload bags — you’ll be walking a lot.
• Take care that you can cool off in costume.
• STAY HYDRATED.
