How to join: read the readme, it will give you more instructions.
Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in character are those of the character. The player may not share the same opinion, if you have a dispute with an opinion of one of the characters or players then please PM the player who you have a dispute with and discuss it politely. Or just ignore them, that works too. If the discussion gets out of hand then their is a report button in PMs, I'm guessing that this will allow a moderator to step in a help negotiate, if that doesn't work then you can add people to the PM (May I suggest a moderator?) from the tools on the left of the PM screen.
Open Play: Periodically I may place NPCs in a state called open play, while in this state they can be controlled by anyone, including forum members who don't have a character. Please check the player rules briefly before posting, and have fun! Just a thing to note, it's a good idea to read the last few in character posts (these can be a page ago) to get an idea of what other characters are doing.
Visual Novel: Some of the players have decided to make a visual novel based on the things the characters do in game. H4X0RZ has taken lead on this side project and has provided the following github repository.
Lore Repository: It's all in this github repository, I'm hoping this will encourage more people to participate in world building than when it was on my google drive.
The wiki is ready for characters, so please port yourself.
If you go to https://github.com/C...ayer-Characters and click on your character's name, it will create the page with the correct name for you.
You will also need to follow the instructions on this page: https://github.com/C...racter-Template
Read Me
Players: please read the rules section and the questions in the EQ. (You don't have to read all the answers, but please read the questions so you know what they are. If you have one of those questions then please do read the answer.)
Instructions for character creation are here: https://github.com/C...ing-a-character
If you are a non-player reader (or audience member as I will now call you) then the only things you need to know are rules 1 and 2, namely keep it PG rated and if you want to comment on something then please use the OOC tags. To clarify, if you don't have a character then everything you post will have to be out of character, but you can still post (I can't see why you would need to, but I don't see any reason to prevent you).
If I update the OP then I will mention it in a new post.
[/OOC]
A bard starts our story: “A place much like the one that I now share this tale, a particular inn is situated in a small village bearing the name Elarshi. It is said that the village is cursed, for it attracts all manner of evil. Others claim that it is blessed since the village receives plenty adventurers and mercenaries who are willing -or crazy- enough to visit and attempt to vanquish this evil.”
But for us, the story is still being written.
The inn is a small, dingy place. There are few patrons that look like they live locally. Packs and bags rest against wooden table legs, the owners of which are clearly armed and armoured in some fashion. The Innkeeper wears a sombre expression as he mindlessly wipes down the counter top.
“I’m about to turn in for the night,” The Innkeeper drowsily announces, “those who want a room or a drink had better...”
Interrupting, the door slams open. A shadowy figure staggers into the lantern light before collapsing onto his front. Through the dim lighting it can be seen that his back is pierced with over a dozen arrows.
