General Chat Rules

Respect Everyone

Treat fellow players, the DM, and guests with respect. Avoid offensive language, personal attacks, or insensitive jokes. Everyone should feel welcome and safe.

No Interrupting the DM

Allow the Dungeon Master to guide the game and provide information without interruption. Clarify questions during appropriate pauses.

Stay Engaged

Be attentive and active during sessions. Avoid excessive distractions like multitasking, unrelated conversations, or stepping away for long periods without notifying the group.

Keep Chat Organized

Use designated channels for specific topics (e.g., OOC questions, IC roleplay, game announcements).

Indicate whether you’re speaking IC or OOC, especially in mixed settings. For example:

IC: *Aurora steps forward and draws her sword.*

OOC: (( Can I roll for perception? ))

Conflict Resolution

If disagreements arise, handle them respectfully. If necessary, take the issue to a private chat with the DM or a neutral party for resolution.

In-Character (IC) Rules

Stay in Character

When speaking IC, ensure your actions and dialogue align with your character’s personality, backstory, and motivations. Avoid blending your OOC opinions with IC decisions.

Collaborate, Not Compete

Encourage teamwork among characters. While IC rivalries are fine, they should not disrupt the game or create real-life conflict.

Describe Actions Clearly

Use vivid descriptions to immerse others in the game. Keep the narrative flowing by staying concise when appropriate.

Out-of-Character (OOC) Rules

No Metagaming

Avoid using OOC knowledge to influence your character’s IC actions. Separate what you know as a player from what your character would realistically know.

Be Patient

Everyone deserves a chance to shine. Avoid dominating conversations or actions, and let quieter players contribute.

Ask for Clarification Politely

If you don’t understand something, ask the DM or other players respectfully.

Stay Positive

Keep OOC discussions constructive. If you dislike a rule or event, express your concerns politely after the session.
