Generally speaking if you stick to the theme and don't be a pain in my backside we'll get along just fine :)

	# '''Player vs Player Will NOT Be Tolerated''' - I have a zero tolerance policy for PvP stuff. You are a team that needs to work together~~. As such, Evil characters are banned~~. I don't have problems with people being ~~Chaotic Neutral selfish gits~~, but I don't want to have any kind of plotting or attempts to harm other members of the group.

	# '''Guns ARE allowed''' but limited to Early Firearms only. No Advanced Firearms. You need to be a Gunslinger or some other class which explicitly understands guns to use them, otherwise it would be equivalent to a Fighter trying to cast Fireball - pointless. I'm also declaring that guns and ammunition is extremely rare, it will be very hard to find ammo or gunsmiths to the point you will likely have to craft your guns and ammo by yourself.		# '''Guns ARE allowed''' but limited to Early Firearms only.

	# '''Oriental Martial Arts Classes (Monk/Brawler/Ninja/Samurai/etc)''' - I'm not going to sugar coat it - I don't like these classes in traditional fantasy settings. I have no problem with the class mechanics and abilities, but oriental martial arts classes really don't belong in traditional european-themed fantasy RPGs. It kills immersion for me so they are a hard no.		# '''Oriental Martial Arts Classes (Monk/Brawler/Ninja/Samurai/etc)''' - I'm not going to sugar coat it - I don't like these classes in traditional fantasy settings.

	# '''Aliens & Futuristic Characters''' - This ties into the rule directly above about immersion. Aliens, robots, etc don't belong in my fantasy games. I'm open to things like Aasimar's and such as they are not aliens, they were people who mated with some extra planar being. Same with Oreads and other such creatures - I'm good with them as long as they aren't aliens or robots or something typically belonging to a futuristic sci-fi game.		# '''Aliens & Futuristic Characters''' - This ties into the rule directly above about immersion.

Same with Oreads and other such creatures - I'm good with them as long as they aren't aliens or robots or something typically belonging to a futuristic sci-fi game.
	# '''Mythic Characters''' - At this time I do not plan on using the mythic system. That may change at some point, but right now assume you will not become a mythic hero. I don't have anything against the mythic systems, but I don't foresee the game heading in that direction, at least for now. So don't build your character around the goal of accessing certain mythic abilities or powers as it's not guaranteed to happen. Again, subject to change.		# '''Mythic Characters''' - At this time I do not plan on using the mythic system. That may change at some point, but right now assume you will not become a mythic hero.

	# '''Meta Gaming''' - I really don't like metagamers. Metagaming happens when your character does something based on what you (the player) knows. You can roll Knowledge checks as needed to determine if your character knows something under many circumstances, but other times you simply wouldn't know something. Don't metagame. It will end very badly for you.		# '''Meta Gaming''' - I really don't like metagamers. Metagaming happens when your character does something based on what you (the player) knows.

	Set in the City of Splendors, Adventures in Waterdeep is going to be a campaign focused around the Wardens of Fareun - a guild of honor bound mercenaries. The characters will be new Initiates who just signed up to become Wardens and will be venturing out to complete their first Warden Contract and, hopefully, fulfill their contract and become Probates.

			The Wardens are not in any Waterdeep materials, I made them up. I've put a bunch of information about them below.
