Here's where our 'rules' for the RP will be kept, as listed below -

Rule 0: Have fun, and if you aren't having fun, let us know! No point spending ages posting if you're getting bored, and we don't want people just dropping out without letting us know why first. That's why we're all here after all :)

Rule 1: No Metagaming - This means any Out of Character knowledge (stuff you as a player knows) cannot be used by your character. There's a timeline of events in DA we're sticking to, so obviously we as players know how things will progress in the context of the setting. Your character of course can't use this.

Rule 2: No Powergaming - Please don't decide how other Player Characters react to your posts. Sure, if you want to write a bit about how the NPCs are reacting, go for it. But when it comes to another player, please keep things open and vague for them to react to your intents.

Rule 3: 'Gentlemen's Agreements' are the go to mechanic - We're going with a rules-lite game, so generally players will be expected to come to mutual agreements on character interactions if conflict occurs (and we hope it does). Make sure everyone involved has come to a conclusion on how a situation will pan out if it involves other players consent.

Rule 4: The current GM (person running the plot) has final say - If a player wants to dispute something the GM does OOC, that's perfectly acceptable, but take it to PMs, Discord or OOC. Don't clutter up posts and be civil. We don't want the In Character section to get bogged down with an argument.

Rule 5: Stick within the established setting - If something is canon or can be done in the games/books/comics etc., then that's how it is in the RP. That being said, variations and interpretations are probably fine as long as they aren't wildly different or going against the canon.

Rule 6: No interaction with canon characters without GM approval - We want to develop the setting between the lines, not just re-hash the already established. Canon NPCs will mostly be context to developments in the setting, as opposed to characters the group is directly influencing.

Rule X: Probably end up adding more stuff, but can't think of anything specific right now.

As with the other posts, check back now and again to see if things have changed since you last looked :)
