1) limit of 1 character per person, however the storyteller (i.e. whoever was chosen as GM) could limit what races/classes permited, and/or put restrictions on races/classes.
2) Keep it clean. This is to be fun for all, not a sleaze fest. Also Mods have the Black Lightning of Ixnaying, which trumps GM and/or any other power/ability/ect regardless..and they WILL use it .
3) if you are not part of the story, please refrain from ruining it for everybody else. Also if you are (except GM or Mods for obvious reasons) keep in character..this is a RPG and should be treated as such.
4) All characters will start at level 1, however if you have an old favorite the GM might let them have a cameo (which means they will show up and give advice but not fight for or give stuff to characters).
5) All gm and mods rulings are FINAL. If you loose a favorite character, please don't wine about it, these things happen. To protect the flow of the game anybody who's character dies can get a replacement character of similar level, and anybody just entering will be of similar level. However if starting a new one or just joining, you don't just get a magical item or something just because everybody else has one (they earned those ).
6) When posting to keep the flow of 'combat', if in combat, post your next 6 actions at least..keeping in mind not all of them maybe possible for one reason or another. Since it would be impossible to roll for every action, the GM will do the figuring of success and failure. They will do this honestly and fairly. Also post must come within 48 hrs of the GM's post, but if you don't get it in dont worry, it will just be considered that your character was not officially present for this and will not be harmed, or loose anything. But they won't benifit from the encounter either.
7) I am not sure about allowing 'evil' characters in this, neutral deffinately, but since we dont want anything to break up the gameplay or cause tension between characters. I will leave that to the Mods and GM.
8) All non-visual actions would have to be sent privately to the GM, since regardless of intensions people tend to react to things they could not possibly know. (ie if there pocket is picked, ect).
Also, though the classes/races are based off of the D&D variety, this wont be true D&D. First, that's copywrited, and second the sheer volume of numbers is mind boggling. It will be more as those old books choose your own adventures. I will use random number generator and common sense to determine how effective an action is. If you are a fighter in plate and try to jump onto a chandalier your chances of success will be a LOT lower then a nimble thief trying to do the same. Won't be doing the Str, con, dex, ect thing and hp are subjective. Just know you can take a lot less if you are magic oriented then if melee or similar. That way you dont have to keep track of a lot of numbers (and i have to keep track of a lot less). To maintain the flavor of the individual classes/races each will be assigned some numbers, but they will be on paper in the GM's lair, and most people won't have to bother with them. Again this is all about fun, not about number crunching. You decide your actions, I will decide the consequences of those actions hehe. (Charging into hundreds of enemies alone is going to most likely get you killed, while staying home in a cottage will net you no exp and most likely be boring).
I will nominate myself as gm (as I can commit to being here everyday), however, if there any serious objections I have no qualms about a vote.
If you choose any of the following races please keep in mind that because of their bonus abilities they will suffer some penalties. Drow, Duegar. Only those human, elf (wood, high, grey), half-elf, dwarf, and half-orc will be allowed, but the Drow and Duegar suffer a few more negatives then the D&D versions.
And for now (at the start) the only classes I will allow are:Fighter, Ranger, Paladin, Mage, Thief, Monk, Priest, and Druid. Once I am comfortable with the flow of this, I might allow more (this of course dependant if I am GM).
If you have a favorite character and would like them to have a cameo, even if you are not active in the campain, let me know. I will work something out with you
. Lets say 14 days for signup, then the fun will begin. If only a couple signup most likely it will be done by PM or something. Thanks for your time.
