Rules Document
Spoiler:
Any large edits will be remarked in here as an edit by the person who did so. This will most likely be done by our Rules Head: dougansf.

Date: Change
Discord

Upcoming Games Calender

Roll20 Table

Requesting an adventure Applying to an adventure
Spoiler:
Apply in the appropriate LFG thread.
The thread poster will choose the players from those who post into the thread. Adventures will generally have four players but may have more if the scenario requires it or at GM's discretion. In the event that the game oversubscribes, the player who collaborated with the GM to create the Rumor will decide who goes.

Use this format:

Code: Select all

[b]Name:[/b] Character name
[b]Circle:[/b] Circle of your character
[b]Discipline:[/b] Your character's Discipline(s)
[b]Unique:[/b] What your character is bringing to the table.
[b]Downtime:[/b] Talents and Skills that other characters can use over downtime: [Talent] [Step including +Karma Step if appropriate] ([Rank]) ([Further Details])
Looking for group post format
Spoiler:
Title should be in this format

Code: Select all

LFG: [Circle] Adventure Name (YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM GMT)
Time Should be in 24-hour GMT. An easy tool to use for this is this websiteGMT CONVERTER

The post should look like this

Code: Select all

LFG: Adventure Name
Time: YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM GMT
GM: The FASA/Discord Username(s) of the GM
Circle: The Circle of the Adventure. Characters of that Circle +/- 1 may join.
Difficulty: The difficulty as previously discussed: Easy, Medium, or Hard

Rumor: What the rumor you are following is and any other relevant information.
AAR Format
Spoiler:
An AAR is an after action report it is used by GMs to mark down who went on an adventure and what the rewards were and any necessary information that resulted from the adventure.
Title of the thread should just be AAR: Name of Mission

Code: Select all

[u]Name of Mission[/u]
Time: YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM GMT
GM: The FASA/Discord Username(s) of the GM
Circle: The Circle of the Adventure. Characters of that Circle +/- 1 may join.
Difficulty: The difficulty as previously discussed: Easy, Medium, or Hard

[b][i]Player Rewards:[/i][/b]
Character Name: TIPs, Legend, Silver, Items

[b][i]GM Reward:[/i][/b]

[b][i]Downtime Actions Available:[/i][/b]
Character Name: [Talent] [Step] ([Rank]) ([Further Details])
[i]Researchers may spend 20/2 Silver for +3 Steps[/i]

[b][i]Further Information:[/i][/b]
Anything else that needs to be mentioned, such as PC/NPC Deaths, locations discovered, Hexes explored, etc.
Timeline of our adventures so far
Spoiler:
So for the purposes of tracking time we will be using 1 real life week = 1 month in Barsaive. Downtime is still a 2 days=1 week basis.
