Gaming Policies
Players / Characters
- Quorum will be 50% or more of the players
- A group of 4, this would have been 2 players present (2 missing)
- A group of 5, this would be 3 players present (2 missing)
- A group of 6, this would be 3 players present (3 missing)
- The DM still is a "weak link"
- Possiblity: Designate a "secondary game" with a "secondary GM"?
- Difficulty: If the games don't regularly switch, then the secondary game loses cohesion
- Possibility: One shot games run on occasion, even just to give the regular GM an occasional chance to play
- At least one player would have to be prepared to step into this role, and have ideas and perhaps materials.
- Possibility: Spread malicious rumors about primary GM to prevent his regular life from being a problem.
- Example: The DM steals office supplies to sell on the black market and then blows the money on drugs which he sniffs from the back of zoo animals.
- Possiblity: Designate a "secondary game" with a "secondary GM"?
- Players that are missing are still played.
- The player will arrange to either have the DM or another player run the character.
- The sheet should be made available before hand.
- If nothing is arranged, the DM will assume no preference and chose someone.
- The character will still earn experience
- This will only happen for one, maybe two sessions.
- Players that are inactive will be left "at the inn", a chosen safe location that will make sense in the current game.
- While "at the inn" the player will not earn experience.
- An active player can leave his current character "at the inn" in order to try a new character out.
- The "safe location" does not necessarily mean that it will be free of evil GM influence, who might use a character "at the inn" as part of a plot.
- The character will, however, be able to be played again when the current plot could reasonable accommodate the reintroduction.
- New characters start at the same level as the lowest active party member.
- This applies to both new players making new characters
- Existing players making a new character
- Reintroducing a previously inactive character who was "at the inn."
Location, Location, Location
- We will designate a "primary" location
- The primary location is where we will assume that we game every week.
- If a situation comes up where the primary location is unavailable, we will receive notice ahead of time, and pick the next location available.
- Hopefully those notifications will be during the previous week's sessions.
- If prior notice was unavailable, it will be the responsibility of the host to contact all of the players or clearly delegate the responsibility to another player.
- We will designate a "secondary" location.
- Same information as the primary, only less frequently such.
- The failsafe location shall be Pandemonium games.
- Contact information should be available for all players by all other players, to maximize the word being spread
