Rules are important. Read them all or you will die.
My Rules
No second characters.
No Racism outside of the roleplaying. I realize it was kind of rampant in those days, but keep it reasonable and I'll keep you.
No non-roleplayers. If you don't roleplay then you don't play.
Emailing
You can email me
more than once in a day if needed. If this gets out of hand then I'll
take this option away. Emails are sent from any time after I have the
update completed till 5:30 PM Central the next day. Yes, this means you
can send them the day before but that days update must be completed
first. Once again, this might be removed aswell. The RPG runs on
Monday through Thursday and on the weekends I have "me" time.
Day and Night
This is very
important to the game. I was constantly trying to think a workable way
to do this and then it came to me. Read slowly so this sinks in, it's
also kind of confusing. Monday is the Daytime and Tuesday is the
Nighttime. Wednesday is daytime of the next day while Thursday is the
nighttime. Read that as many times as it takes to visualize that before
going on.
Humans can
have actions in both day and night. Vampires can only do things in the
night, so they should only send emails on Tuesday and Thursday. In the
world of the RPG, only 2 days will pass during one of the real world
week's. It's kind of confusing, I know, but I'll make it work.
Death/Second Death
If you are a human
and you're killed, that Character is no more. If you are a human and
you are embraced, made a Lupine, or are damned as a wraith then that
character lives on... kind of. Vampires can die if they are left in the
sun, purposely walk into the sun, have their head chopped off, or
somehow enter a very large and very hot fire. Wraiths don't die...
again. They just kind of hang around or go away once they've had the
crap kicked out of them. Lupines can die like humans, good luck trying
to do that.
If your character dies, you can make another. You're not removed from the RPG you only have to start over.
Healing/Damage
Humans take time to
heal. Vampires can do it in varied times according to the discipline.
It is the same for Lupines and Mages. Wraiths are healed the very next
day(when I say day I mean a day in real life).
Traveling
It takes one real
world day to travel from place to place inside the town. So in the game
world you'll be there that night or at the light of day. More towns
will be added in time, aswell as new locations inside the current town.
The game is a working progress.
Note About the World
Few people in those
days knew the word Cainite. Or Lupine for that matter. Keep that in
mind when you roleplay. Though the Masquerade wasn't organized in the
Dark Ages, the Embraced still didn't care much for mortals knowing their
affairs. Exposing information could lead to an NPC or two coming for
you. If your character has never seen a Vampire or come into contact
with one, roleplay your character that way. You should think of them as
demons of Hell.
Orders
There are many
things working in fair Vienna that you don't know about and that some of
you might never know about. There are Vampire Hunters, Orders of Magi,
Vampire Clan Havens, and much more. There will occasionally be hints
to these but nothing written in stone. You might be propositioned by
one or more of these groups depending on the paths you take. Another
reason to choose wisely.
Joining
Joining is very
restricted. There will be no form for the public. I will invite most
of the members and members might recommend some people but thats pretty
much the only way in. For now I'm setting a limit of 21 people. This
might go up or down.
Help
If you need help figuring out how many points you have for Abilities or Attributes, just email me at beyondgtrpg@hotmail.com. Yes, I know it's the address from the last RPG, but I don't want any more hotmail accounts.
Quests
Quests are basically
the only type of battling. Your character could be attacked by an NPC
at random, but that won't happen much. Quests range from stealing,
rescuing, searching, and killing to name a few. There will be a
difficulty estimate, but that is for average characters. If your
character excels in a certain area that could help this quest, then it
will be easier for you. You can team up with people on quests and other
people can do the quest. Teams can have 4 people at the max. There is
no limit to how many people can do one quest, but you won't help each
other unless you're a team. Sometimes battles with break out between
members on quests, so unless you're a badass it would be smart to have a
team. Teams don't have to have 4 people, they can have 2 or 3 aswell.
There are rewards on Quests, either offerd by the person requesting it
and/or the items picked up on them. You can find jewels, weapons,
silver, many things of value. There are always unseen dangers on
quests.
