Posting guidelines

In order to create some continuity in the reading, and to keep intentions clear, please adhere to the following posting conventions:

Please try to write the majority of your posts using third person as if a story was being told.

OOC Text should be in orange or in private lines.

Unspoken thoughts should be written in italics

"Spoken words should be placed inside quotes"

Any other conventions you use are fine with me so long as the intention is clear.

Here's a primer for what to expect.
  • You will die.
  • Describe not roll.
  • Outwit or avoid not fight.
  • Goals are character led.
  • Gold is XP.
  • Not every encounter is achievable.
  • Combat is deadly.
  • The answer is not on your character sheet.
  • Things are swingy.
  • Interact with the world as if it were a place.
  • Killing things is not a good way.
  • There is nothing that is supposed to happen.
  • Unknowability and consequence make everything interesting.
  • Play as your character not as a screenwriter.
  • It’s your job to make your character interesting and the game interesting for you.
  • If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics suck.
  • You will die.



Everyone can describe what their character is doing and I will provide a response. If you choose to roll, for example to check for secret doors, then a turn will pass and I will roll a dice with the probability that nothing will be found. By describing your character's actions you get a quicker resolution and if your actions are the correct ones you get guaranteed success.
