This is a Fantasy Adventure Storybook RPG (Role Playing Game)
The rules are simple:
No team-killing!
People take it very personally when you kill their character. Doing so ruins a writing relationship, which is what we're all trying to build.
No God Characters
Please, do not make your character a god. Let's keep our characters within believable bounds.
Fantasy Setting
The default setting is in a Medieval Europe setting. As the characters travel, the setting may change. If you want to be a Japanese Shogun, you might end up waiting a long while for us to come by.
Magical Creatures
Light Creatures are more appropriate for this story, since most of the travelling would be done during the day time. If your character type is dangerous to the group, then it's probably a bad idea.
Magic
It exists, but very few people know about it and NO ONE knows a lot about it. Spells that decimate armies are unimaginable. Magical creatures will know magic appropriate to their characters, but anything outside instinct would be a long shot. So a unicorn would know all about healing, but nil about starting a fire with magic.
On Writing Style
This is an RPG, so players may write in any style they please. First person, third person omniscient, your preference.
On God-Moding.
God Moding is vague. Here is the rules for it.
1. Other authors may control another authors character. We're all equally authors on this story, so the characters that are here are communal.
2. Authors can not write for any characters than their own. I can't make a post for any characters other than my own.
3. Authors can not undo the actions of their characters unless the post in question was against the character profile. If no complaint is made by the author of the character within a reasonable amount of time, then we'll keep going.
4. This isn't a turn RPG, it is a real time RPG. That means that you aren't obligated to stop and wait for the author to reply to your character. This way, we don't wait three days for a response.
Inactive Characters
If a character hasn't been posted for in a long time (a month) then it will go into the NPC pile. Another writer may choose to write for that character until the original author returns. If the original author returns, the character once again returns to his or her possession.
Creator Rights
As the creating author, I reserve the right to change these rules at any time as the story progresses. The changes will probably be a result of problems that haven't yet been found yet. Hopefully there should be no problems .
