I missed everybody!<br/><br/>So, goals for the day:  I want to get a few more threads up and running - and for the new players, I wanted to point out that player input on different shops, entertainments, etc are all very welcome.  We've got a laundry list of locations in Gomorra, and not all of the have been fleshed out.  Players are welcome to contact us by PM and say 'hey, I'm going to expand this location like a so,' and if there's no conflict we'll update the location in the initial post.  Some of the shops are finished, as are some of the brothels, but we've got lots of work yet to do across the board.  Similarly, if an NPC catches your eye, and you'd like to 'run' them, feel free to 'dibs.'  There's no bonus for doing so, beyond the gratitude and appreciation of the GMs.<br/><br/><strong>General rules regarding running NPCs:<br/><br/>Please don't run anyone who has a significant faction associated with them.  (Maze Rats, collegium, etc.) <br/><br/>Please don't grant high levels of rank/dinero/belongings to an NPC, including military rank.  This is fine if we're contacted first, but preserving the balance of power in Gomorra is an important thing.  Shops where the NPC lives/works are an exception.<br/><br/>Anyone who's been put in the who's who by a GM, with a picture associated, is off limits.  <br/><br/>Beyond that - any other minor character who serves some purpose in expanding your character is fine.  (Or add just add color to the city.)  The PCs don't live in an aquarium inhabited only by PCs, and characters with high mien, high bluff, high ridicule, high persuasion, and high overawe should get every opportunity to show it off.<br/></strong><br/>Home Sweet Home (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=167797.0) is now up!
