This is the OOC thread.

In regards to rules, I have a few questions for you:
* How often are you comfortable with posting to a game here at Rpol?
* What style do you want posts made in? I am generally used to third person, past tense. Some have chosen to post what their character is thinking, others not. But I have made a short experiment with posts in the present tense.
* Standard or mature?

I'm comfortable posting every other day. I'd prefer third person, past-tense, but if everyone else is more comfortable with a different format I can adjust, as long as everyone is writing the same way. I'd prefer Mature over Standard, as GoT had more than it's fair share of sex & violence, including many things that would violate rpol's terms of service (which obviously we won't be tossing into our own stories).

You may have noted that I did not include the option of making this an Adult game, I would not be comfortable GMing or playing in such a game.

I did see that; I'm fine with Mature.

And that I can do, if that is what the group prefers.

While I can post every day, I am more comfortable saying 3-4 times a week.

Third person past, but can be flexible.

I prefer mature.

Post-frequency: I'm comfortable with a requirement for 2-3 times a week possibly every other day.

Tense: Third person past, depending I may have internal thoughts, I will need to find the voice for the character.

Rating: Mature is probably preferred due to the source material but I'm not against standard. I've got particular triggers that would be affected by text forms.

What sourcebooks are you pulling from for character options?
Only ASoIaF books, or are you using the chronicle system books like "Chronicles of Sorcery"

I do not have any of the chronicle system books. Let me look at those.


GoT doesn't have much magic, or rather not many characters know how to use magic, is magic something we want in our game?

Open to it, but I understand if others are not.

I will be getting the Out of Strife, Prosperity volume that adds additional Wealth holdings to the house creation system. So we will get into those a little later.

Hello everyone!
I’m okay with third person past, and posting every 2-3 days sounds great.
I know that the world of Ice and Fire is deadly and doesn’t care about people but could we reduce violence against younger people to a minimum/ fading into black?
I’ve played (other systems) where some ppl seem to enjoy this stuff way too much.

(Strangely I don’t care so much about what happens to older people)

I can post reasonably often. I would prefer third-person past tense and mature.

Hi all.
I am looking forward to this game.

I prefer third person past tense.

Things get pretty grim in Westeros so I think mature would best. We don’t need to describe some really explicit acts in detail. I still have to look away from screen when The Mountain ends lives in the show.

I am gearing towards the mature, because it seems that this reflects grim and violent world of the ASOIAF best. I guess no adult themes means Bolton storyline happens off screen, huh.

I can post daily or every two/three days if I am in a lurch. And yes, I am fine with keeping violence directed towards children to a minimum, except of course heinous acts that are canon in the books. It would make no sense to make world of ASOIAF less cruel than it is.

Thank you for the opportunity. I look forward to gaming with everyone.

I am fine with mature.

Third person past is what I am most familiar with, but am used to some people posting present tense for games.

A post every other day or so is good for me.

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 10):

One of my favorite thing about the books is that magic is slowly coming back into the world when the comet is in the sky. All of the religions have their own magic that is starting to work again.

Are we using the mythos from the books or the show (for setting purposes)?

In reply to Dragondog (msg # 2):

Post: every other day

Tense: I would prefer third person present tense as it might allow for more dialogue and internal monologue in character
Perhaps with [OOC asides, like scenery descriptions, in brackets] ... (internal monologue in parentheses) ... and “spoken aloud by the character would be in quotations”
Would internal monologue and dialogue be in first person, or still third person? Or just not encouraged?
I’ve done lots of online gaming, but they have all been in real time. It seems that in this format, tense consistency and use of other grammatical devices would be more important.

Rating: mature

My familiarity is with the TV show, I haven't read the books.

We talked about magic earlier and I'll add your voice as pro magic. Any other comments on that subject?

I'd be happy to see the inclusion of magic if it can be arranged.

So far White, Brown, and Blue have expressed ProMagic views.

Red was the first to bring up magic, but has not revealed their position on the matter.

No other player has expressed their views on the matter.

A little magic, well applied could be interesting.
