🌹 ROSES AND DAGGERS – OFFICIAL RULES
⚖️ GENERAL CONDUCT
✦ Respect is non-negotiable. Treat all players with kindness and maturity.
✦ No OOC drama. If a conflict arises, speak privately or bring it to the GMs. Public arguments will not be tolerated.
✦ Harassment is zero tolerance. This includes in DMs. If someone crosses boundaries, contact a GM immediately.
✦ Do not “troll” or enable bad behavior. Even if it doesn’t bother you, it may harm others.
✦ Manipulation, gaslighting, malicious lying, or any form of toxic behavior — whether toward fellow players or the GMs — will not be tolerated.
✦ This is an 18+ roleplay. Mature themes will appear — but all content must stay within RPGuild policy (see below).
✦ By joining, you consent to your character’s story continuing if you leave — via NPCing, death, or world integration. Nothing disappears without consequence.
✦ The GMs have the final say and right to remove you upon consistent or extreme rule-breaking.
🩸 18+ THEMES
✦ NSFW Policy: No explicit sex scenes on-site. Fade-to-black or take it to PMs or the designated Discord channel.
✦ OOC Consent is required before engaging in scenes with potentially triggering content.
✦ All scenes that could trigger trauma must have a trigger warning(s) and a hider.
📝 POSTING GUIDELINES
✦ Life happens — communicate if you need a break. We’re flexible with notice.
✦ Inactivity Policy:
➤ 7 days no post or communication = Taken out of the post rotation
✦ Read all posts that involve your character or tag you. Skimming is not acceptable.
🧙 MAGIC & ABILITY RULES
⚔️ 1. NO POWERPLAYING
Powerplaying is controlling or forcing another character’s actions, thoughts, or physical reactions without consent. All effects on another character’s body, mind, or choices must be discussed OOC and agreed upon.
🧠 2. NO METAGAMING
Metagaming is using OOC knowledge IC without a justified narrative bridge.
If your character hasn’t seen, heard, or been told something IC, they do not know it.
🛡 3. NO GODMODDING
Godmodding includes creating overpowered, vague, or untouchable characters without running ideas through GM approval.
✨ 4. Magic Use Guidelines
A. Spell Use
✦ If using a spell from an official book or source, it must be clear what it is and how it works in your post.
✦ If you wish to keep the spell’s effects secret from the audience, you must DM the GMs.
✦ Any supernatural mechanic not from an official book must be approved by GMs.
DM the GMs with the following:
— What it does
— How it works
— Its limitations
— Who it affects
If you do not have approval, the ability cannot be used in posts that affect others.
🤝 CONSENT & GM SUPPORT
✦ All narrative impact on other characters requires OOC consent.
✦ GM approval is required for magical mechanics that influence others or the world.
✦ GMs may review collabs or scenes if requested by another player.
✦ If you see powerplaying, metagaming, godmodding, unapproved mechanics, or any rulebreaking: Bring it to a GM. You won’t be punished for being honest.
💂 USE OF GUARDS AND NPCS:
Any significant actions taken by castle guards — including arrests, interference, law enforcement, or acting on behalf of nobility — must be cleared with a GM.
Guards are part of the world’s official power structure and must act in accordance with kingdom laws and narrative logic. Minor flavor use is fine (e.g., "the guards opened the door"), but anything beyond basic background interaction requires GM approval to ensure consistency and fairness.
This goes for world NPCs making major moves as well.
