- Players have 48 points to spend on starting characteristics.
We are using point based creation (page 19 of the book), which means each of our stats starts at 10, and then you can use your 48 points to increment them, using the following rules:
Each STR, CON, SIZ, or APP characteristic point is worth 1 of these points; each point of DEX, INT, and POW each cost 3 of these points.
You can choose to lower your starting characteristics below the starting value of 10. For each point of STR, CON, SIZ, or APP you reduce below 10, you get another point to spend on other characteristics. For every point of DEX, INT, and POW, you get 3 points back.
No initial characteristic can be raised to higher than 21, and no initial characteristic can be lowered to below 3. Only with a gamemaster’s permission can you raise or lower a starting characteristic beyond this range.

Accepted professions are Artist, Assassin, Athlete, Doctor, Engineer, Entertainer, Explorer, Gambler, Hunter, Merchant, Noble, Pilot, Politician, Priest, Sailor, Scholar, Scientist, Servant, Shaman, Slave, Soldier, Spy, Student, Teacher, Technician, Thief, Tribesman, and Warrior.

Notes
The DM reserves the right to veto any characters not deemed adequate for the adventure envisaged, and players are wise to consult with the DM regarding any character ideas prior to full character creation.
A character sheet is available on this thread for pasting onto the character info.
Posting Rules
There is no set minimum posts, though, in order to enhance the role playing experience , players are welcome to posts as much as they can and want.
If a player is executing a well defined action (example : character tries to spot hidden clues in a room), they can roll for that skill. Other actions may be rolled by the DM, in order to enhance the flux of the game.
As a general convention,
unspoken thoughts should be shown in italics ,
OOC text in orange.
Spoken sentences should be shown in a colour of the players choice, in order to make them more visible in the message text.
