Posting Guidelines
Here are a few simple guidelines for the way I would like to see posts in my game and how I will run the game:
-- Please post in complete sentences.
-- Please use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I know there will be some minor typos here and there.
-- Please use bold when your Character is talking.
-- Please use italic for your Character's thoughts.
-- Please don't use colors in your posts. However, if you must use a color then please use it only for speaking. No red color at all.
-- If a Character is speaking a language other than the common language, then please just write in the post that the Character is speaking 'x' language.
-- Please use third person present tense for your posts.
-- Please keep all Out-of-Character talk in the OOC Thread and out of the IC game Threads.
-- Please use the OOC Threads or Private Messages to communicate about things pertaining to the IC Threads.
-- Please post your intended actions and then if necessary I will ask you to make a dice roll with any appropriate bonuses or penalties.
-- I will assume that routine or easy checks are automatic. We will roll dice for important events, encounters, and details.
Here are a few examples to illustrate how I would like posts to look in the game...
-- A Character is speaking out loud to other characters (either PCs or NPCs):
Looking at the bartender, JoJo says to him, "good sir, please give me a large mug of ale."
-- A Character is speaking out loud in a language other than the Common Tongue:
Looking at the Elven bartender, JoJo says in the Elven tongue to him, "good sir, please give me a large mug of ale."
-- A Character is thinking to himself:
I wonder if that barmaid would have a drink with me after her shift, JoJo thinks to himself while mindlessly people watching in the tavern.
