Basic Rules and Guidelines

So, this page is just to give you a sense of what I am expecting from my players in the game. None of these are truly hard and fast, especially as I am relearning some of these skills.

I am the GM

I'm the GM, because someone has to be. I have a sense of what I want the game to be, and what the general tone of the game should be. I will do my best to always be fair to each and every player. But if it comes to it, my word in the game has to be final.

Everything is a conversation

Feel free to have a conversation with me about the game. Please make suggestions as to what I can do better or what you would enjoy in the game. I may not take your advice, but I am happy to hear what players want. I am willing to have a dialog about anything.

ROLEplay not ROLLplay


Creating a game on a message board allows us to truly live our characters. So please roleplay your characters properly and to a degree consistently. Every post is a chance to flesh out your characters, and give some insight to me and your fellow players the type of character you are playing. To that end, play a character that you will enjoy roleplaying, don't create a CyberPriest devoted to his faith, and then roleplay him as if he is a wisecracking fool who doesn't respect authority. (Not that you have to be a stereotype, but you know what I mean)

Posting Suggestions


I would like people to post at least two-three days of the week, if not more. And that is my plan for how frequently I will advance the story. The more that people post, the more fun this will be.

And, while there sometimes is a need for short posts, where you are buying something or just agreeing with what is being said. I prefer quality over quantity.

Additionally:

* If you are going to be unable to access RPOL for a significant period of time (more than 3 days), please let me know. We can work out the details.

* Please let me know if you want to drop out of the game. It just is better for everyone.

Be Respectful


Give respect - Receive respect. It's that simple. Be respectful to the other players and me your GM, and we will show respect to you.

Basic Trust


I know it's impossible to truly trust a GM (I do like to twirl my mustache and cackle incessantly from my tower on top of the mountain, but that's a lifestyle choice) but my intention is not to put my characters into situations where a TPK (Total Party Kill) can happen. If a scenario occurs that seems overwhelming, I am probably planning on 'cavalry' to arrive to help with the situation. So, do your best to trust me, but feel free to voice concerns if you have any.

Have Fun


This is a game. This is supposed to be fun. In character conflict should stay in character, and not extend to real life. And if you have real life issues that must be dealt with, please let me know, and we will make arrangements.


Let me know if you have any questions about this.
