I'm only human! <br/><br/>That's more of an observation than a rule I suppose, but I absolutely encourage you to ask me any questions you have or if you think I botched something. I'm pretty easy going and I want everyone to have fun! Tell me how to make it better if there are problems! If you're busy, we can work around you. If you're not having fun, we can try and fix it. But only if we know! <br/><br/>... no I don't know I'm using "the royal we", but it feels right, so I may keep doing it.<br/><br/>2. IF aforementioned DM questions are something of a game mechanics nature (or otherwise relevant to the group), go ahead and ask me here on OOC. It could benefit others and will save us all time in the long run. *which is the goal of most of these rules*<br/><br/>3. The party gets<strong> ONE </strong>bite at the apple for skill checks. If that damn Ravnos cultist with the crap Int score rolls a bad history check, you're stuck with it. This is to avoid blunt forcing the way through checks via 6 tries. THAT SAID, if you so choose, you may assist the roller with your turn to grant them advantage on the roll.<br/><br/>4. Forward momentum is important in play by post. <strong>Games are like sharks, and if they don't keep moving, they die.</strong> Going to have be fairly strict about progress, insofar as there will be a DM post at least once a week. RL gets in the way, I absolutely understand! This won't be punitive to absentees, it's just to keep things moving.<br/><br/>5. There is no posting order or limit, but try not to go TOO crazy! It's not a hard and fast rule, mind you, but be cognizant if the last dozen posts are between two characters. We love fun scenes and interaction between characters, but also don't want to leave anyone too far behind!<br/><br/>6. Sexy stuff when it comes up, I'll be glad to make a separate thread if you need it! Feel free to get a little raunchy. We're all adults and we're all on this forum, so chances are you're into getting a little flirty. This is just a concern that two people snogging in a corner in the middle of the plot may be confusing.<br/><br/>7. Tag system! Super easy! Tag whomever you want and put pertinent info in the header! No standard format currently as I don't want to crimp anyone's style! Your characters name, location and who you're tagging at a minimum! <br/><br/>8. The most important house rule to me, because it's one I forget or ignore sometimes too! I know we're all writers, but everyone would prefer a short post to a delayed one! Sometimes RL is crazy or "you're just not feeling it" or you keep switching into passive voice or whatever! <strong>Go quick and dirty!</strong> Get your action in or your point across. Wow everyone with a literary masterpiece when you have time NEXT time!</span>
