Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players have the freedom to improvise; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the game. Role playing games are fundamentally different from most other types of games in that they stress social interaction and collaboration, whereas board games, card games, and sports emphasize competition. In my opinion, the difference between a token and a role-played character is this: Hypothetically, a person watching the game looks over your shoulder and suggests a move, and your reply is "No, my character wouldn't do that." If this happens, or is capable of happening, then at some level you are playing a role-playing game. This simple distinction puts a world of difference between RPGs and other games. - In order to kill someone, your character must first have a reason to do so. - You do not know someone's name without someone that does know it telling to you. - When attacking someone, you must use emote. Try to use more then just "[person attacks other person]". Give at least 10 seconds reaction time! - When talking oocly, use brackets! [ ], { }, < >, ( ). - Do not go to places your character has no reason to go to, for example the Charmed Manor, if you do not know anyone that lives here. - More info to come!!
