Portcon Maine does not allow “Live Steel” weapons. Portcon Maine defines “Live Steel” as any prop or weapon with a metal blade, or a non-metal blade with a metal edge. This edge or blade does not need to be sharp to be deemed “live steel”

Any non-metal blades featuring an edge or apex that is sharp or hard enough to be deemed a risk of injury will also not be allowed.

All Props must be small and light enough that the owner may be in full control of the prop, and not be of risk to other Convention Attendees or Facility Property. Any prop deemed too large or unwieldy by Convention staff must be removed from the Convention area before owner is allowed to attend the Convention.

No Props will be allowed to be used in any manor deemed by Portcon Staff as threatening or dangerous. Any Dangerous or threatening behavior may result in the attendee being Ejected from the Convention and asked not to return.

The owner of any prop is responsible for their prop for the entirety of their attendance of Portcon Maine. If an Attendee is Ejected from Portcon Maine for improper use of a Prop and that person is not the owner of said prop, the owner will be subject to the same action as the offendor.
