Character Table
This is where you link your character sheet for all of us to have access as needed for the purpose of strategizing, shenanigans, and the like. Please, only make updates to your actual character sheet. I will update the table as needed. Feel free to thump my dome via DM or OOC if I forget.

Expectations
Post Frequency
I am asking for a daily posting commitment for this game as a general rule, with the understanding that posting might be less frequent on weekends and holidays. Meatworld being what it is, this generally averages to 3-4 GM updates per week.
- Note: if 24-36 hours have gone by since my last GM update, I may post a new update even if all the players have not posted, just to maintain momentum. This is sometimes just the best path forward given the medium and the constraints of communicating over real distances rather than across a table.
Post Absences
If you will not be able to post, for whatever reason, please ping us in OOC so we know what is going on or post to the Absences Thread (I pretty much check that thing every time it lights up).
Post Formatting
Please include the following header at the top of each IC Post:
- Character Name [AC ? | HP Current/Max | Spell DC ?]
Similarly, please observe the following guidelines when composing your IC posts:
- Please bold your character's name at the top of each IC post or bold the first instance of your character's name in the body of the post. We all game with lots of folk, sometimes with the same players in different games; this just makes it easier to keep track of which character we're addressing.
- If you are addressing another PC in your post it is helpful to bold their character name as well so it stands out for them.
- OOC blocks are fine for showing dice rolls and brief OOC comments directly related to a particular post. Please sblock if you need to include large blocks of text related to your IC post. All other OOC content should go in the OOC thread itself.
- Do not place action statements (incl pp spends/asset generation) or dice rolls in the OOC Thread. I know from brutal experience that I will never keep up with those. All action statements and dice rolls should go in the IC Thread [with dice rolls OOC Blocked].
- Please link all dice rolls back to your dice roller.
PVP
While there is the potential for player vs player conflict in any game, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. Games like that simply do not need a GM, and I would much rather spend my time running games that do need a GM.
For reference, what I consider PVP basically amounts to this: If an action would require dice to affect an NPC, then it counts as PVP to use against a PC.
So disagreements, trash talking, indirect actions that might affect another character but aren't made directly against that character are all potentially on the table with the caveat that if something just makes the game not fun for someone that we respect that and steer clear.
If you want to do something that directly acts against another player's character, proceed based on the following criteria:
- Unilateral Permission: The other player agrees to your action. No rolls are needed. Just RP it out.
- Limited Permission: The other player doesn't agree that it is an automatic thing, but does agree to let the math rocks decide. Roll it out. If initiative is a concern, I will handle that case by case.
- Declined Permission: The other player does not agree to PVP. Move on with something else.
