A Quick PbP Guide/Rules

Hello there Veiliens! I am excited to get these PbP going. Always fun to include others as we work together to build fun campaigns old school pen and paper style. So a quick few things to go over before someone starts:

 

Guide:

  1. There are two types of individuals within a PbP: Narrator and Players

  2. Both Narrator and Players partake in telling the story, each person building off the previous post.

  3. Feel free to start your own PbP campaign if you would like! If you start one, you are the designated Narrator (GM) for the group.

  4. As the Narrator, it is your job to watch over the post and respond to the other individuals posting in your campaign. You are the Judge if something comes up that needs a resolution. You must notate at the top of your campaign whether your PbP will be run using actual character stats from VotV or if it will be purely story based.

  5. If using character stats, the Players will create their character sheets and send to the Narrator. When players request to do something that may need a roll, the Narrator will then look over the character sheet and either roll for them or have them roll, and then determine the outcome.

  6. For story based, everyone works cooperatively together to determine the outcome of the player's request. The Narrator will be the final deciding factor if the outcome cannot be agreed on.

  7. Constant posting is not required in the same campaign but the Narrator is encouraged to keep the story going among the crew.

 

Rules:

  1. Keep to our guidelines in the General Discussions - Welcome to the Forum! section.

  2. As both Narrator and Player remember to be inclusive and think before you post.

  3. Keep it clean(er). Remember: we want to make a fun and inviting community, so just be careful with what you post.

 

So, if you keep to those rules and guidelines we should get a ton of great stories going :D! If you have any concerns or suggestions let me know.

    A Strange New Journey (Story Based)

    Discussion 
    Story Based PbP Feel free to jump in from your character's perspective When you join, feel free to describe your character including class, race, way you join (if needed), and any other fun thing you want to include Now let our story begin_____________________________________________________________ You all regain consciousness, it wasn’t the easiest of landings though that was no one’s fault in particular as the harsh frozen winds of Para-6 are often unforgiving to even the best of pilots. The ship seems relatively intact on the inside, the occasional sparks flying out from the wires along the walls but they do that on the regular anyway. The outside of the ship, however, is a different story. Through the windows you all notice that the left wings have been severed in the crash; they now lay half covered in snow beneath the ship. The fierce winds seem to have calmed now with only a slight breeze throwing snow around. It seems safe enough to adventure outside, especially using your environmental survival suits. What secrets this planet holds is unknown, but adventure lay just beyond your bay doors, so what does everyone do next?
