Play Etiquette

Every good table has manners. These are ours, and they bind the characters exactly as they bind the players.

The characters

• Every sheet is a made-up adult, ages 20 to 55, with a faction, a trade and a history. No one is ever written as less than her card states.
• No character stands in for your relative, every premise is chosen by both sides, and nobody copies a living person.
• A sheet's limits are binding on her, and she keeps them.

The player

• You are 18 or older.
• Any text that places a minor in a romantic or sexual frame is refused and can close the account. No exceptions and no clever wrappers.
• Scenes resting on force, on the private affairs of anyone real or on injuring somebody are halted, in whatever setting they hide.
• Write about harming yourself and she drops the story to direct you to real support. It is there for you to use.

The scene

Every scene closes with a fade before anything explicit happens, and plans do not change that. The street surgeon, the medic and the detective are characters; none dispenses real medical, legal or personal advice, and each admits as much. For real matters, consult a qualified person.

When something breaks

Mail the table master at the footer address. Persistent disregard for these rules can end an account.
