Respect and Civility

Treat all players, the DM, and guests with respect and courtesy. Avoid offensive language, personal attacks, or insensitive jokes. Create an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Game Flow

  • Active Participation: Be attentive and engaged during game sessions. Minimize distractions and avoid stepping away for extended periods without notifying the group.
  • DM Guidance: Allow the DM to guide the narrative. Clarify questions during appropriate pauses.
  • Organized Communication: Utilize designated channels for specific topics (e.g., OOC questions, IC roleplay, game announcements).

In-Character (IC) Behavior

  • Stay in Character: Align your actions and dialogue with your character's personality, backstory, and motivations. Avoid blending OOC opinions with IC decisions.
  • Collaborative Gameplay: Encourage teamwork and cooperation among characters. Friendly rivalry is encouraged, but avoid disrupting the game flow or creating real-life conflict.
  • Clear Communication: Describe actions vividly to enhance the narrative. Keep communication concise and easy to follow.

Out-of-Character (OOC) Behavior

  • No Metagaming: Avoid using OOC knowledge to influence your character's IC actions.
  • Patience and Respect: Be patient with other players and allow everyone a chance to contribute.

Constructive Communication

  • If you have questions or concerns, ask politely.
  • If you have concerns about game mechanics or story elements, discuss them constructively with the DM after the session.

Consequences for Rule Violations

  • First Offense: Verbal reminder from the DM or group.
  • Second Offense: Private discussion with the DM to address the issue.
  • Repeated Violations: May result in temporary or permanent removal from the campaign, depending on the severity of the infractions.
