			== Visual Aids ==

			I'm going to use Google Draw documents with edit access for players as battlemaps. These are the ones we have so far:

			[https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1PPvBBmsqy0PIDLEvZYjtpKzLXj_UAuuoZrlv_nTIEAU/edit Aria Park Riot]

			== Initiative ==

			We're using an alternate initiative system in this game. This is the "Popcorn Initiative" system seen in Lancer and a few other games. I feel it allows for a smoother flow in a PBP.

			1. When a combat starts, a PC (any PC) always goes first.

			2. After that, enemies and PCs take alternate turns until one side runs out of people.

			3. The remaining people on the other side act in sequence.

			4. If the last character to act in the previous round was a PC, an enemy acts first this round. If it was an enemy, a PC acts first.

			5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the fight is over.

			"The Fight is Over" doesn't necessarily means "all enemies (or PCs) are dead" - combats can and will have objectives that are different from that.

			== Attacking and Defending ==

			GURPS uses active defenses whose options involve a lot of player choices, so we need to take some care to handle it in PBP.

			When you attack, describe how you do so. Make sure to include the necessary game info either as part of your narration or as part of an OOC block: who you're attacking, whether it's a swinging or thrusting attack, and if you're targetting a specific hit location. Include your attack and damage rolls in your post.

			The target of your attack then gets to make an immediate post with their defense rolls, as well as any necessary "knockdown and stunning" rolls if they get hit. They describe the effects of the blow based on those rolls.

			If you're being attacked, it works the same but in reverse. Alternatively, you can specify a standard defensive tactic for your character (like "Parry the first attack, Dodge the others with a retreat") and I'll handle the rolls and their effects on the enemy action post.

	Visually and culturally, Kintargo is very similar to Renaissance Florence as depicted in Assassin's Creed 2. It's built on the mouth of the Yolubilis river, with the southern half of the city lying on an island named Argo Isle. A single bridge links the two halves. The skyline is dominated by Castle Kintargo (C1 on the map to the left), the Temple of Asmodeus (T3) and the spires of Alabaster Academy (V4), a somewhat prestigious university.

== Dungeon Fantasy: Hell's Rebels ==

Welcome to Kintargo, the greatest beacon of freedom in the literal fascist hellhole that is Cheliax!

The Thrice-Damned House of Thrune has ruled this benighted nation for a hundred years, erasing and revising any records of its history that do not agree with their diabolic philosophies! Culturally and geographically isolated from the rest of the country, Kintargo has stood as a haven for those who crave the freedom to live as they wish away from the eyes of Hell.

As a force of zealous knights of Iomedae (goddess of justice) wages a holy war against the Thrune regime in central Cheliax, Queen Abrogail II decrees martial law across the whole nation! Paracount Barzilai Thrune has volunteered to enforce this decree in Kintargo, and his arrival was preceeded by the mysterious disappearance of the former Lord-Mayor and a mysterious wave of arson and murder!

In these trying times, some citizens look to the legend of the Silver Ravens, a group of heroes and rebels who resisted the house of Thrune decades ago. Little is known about them other than "they existed", but the idea that someone was brave enough to make a stand is enticing.

As we open our curtains, a large crowd gathers to protest in front of the Kintargo Opera House, which Barzilai Thrune has transformed into his headquarders. You find yourselves in this protest. Why?
