Feats
I have added the following Feat to my game:
Skill Proficiency: Choose one skill. That skill is now a class skill for you.
This feat may be taken more than once.
Skills
Some skills won't be used in this game. We are not using Tyranny Games' "I don't want to role play" optional rule. You will have to role-play the following skills, instead of just rolling them:
- Bluff
- Diplomacy
- Gather Information
- Innuendo
- Ridicule
- Sense Motive
There is an additional wrinkle to this rule. If you need ranks in these skills for a Reborn Class, you still must spend skill points on these unused skills.
Mature Themes
I don't plan on introducing any "mature" themes, but I would like to keep this game to adults only (that's 18 years or older). This will keep us all free to develop whatever themes/issues/stories/characters we want, without worrying about corrupting today's youth.
My idiosyncracies
Bad grammar and poor spelling drive me ape-shit. None of us is perfect, and we'll make mistakes (and typos) once in a while. But if
- you rarely/never capitalize properly (words like england or sentence beginnings)
- u r 1 of those people who have 2 use "improper" abbreviations constantly
- YOU MUST TYPE IN ALL CAPS
- you don't set off vocalized words with quotation marks
- you don't know the difference between they're/their/there, too/two/to, your/you're, etc.
then don't bother trying to join this game. We'll just drive each other ape-shit and that's not fun for either of us.
The in-game penalty for repeated grammar & spelling violations is not pretty. Basically, a character the creators of The End forgot about will make an appearance: Azaz, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. Formerly the ruler of Dictionopolis, Azaz smites down those who split infinitives and end sentences with prepositions. I can't image what he'd do to some who violates my petty rules of posting.
Now, having said all that, I don't mind cultural differences. If you're American (like me) and leave the 'u' out of 'colour' that's fine with me. If you're from a Commonwealth country and insist on putting the 'u' in colour, carrying a torch, and riding a lift, that's fine with me, too. If you put a phrase in quotation marks at the end of sentence, I don't care if the final punctuation mark is inside or outside of the final quotation mark. If English is not your native language, that's not a problem. But I don't speak any other languages (at least not well), so you need to be able to understand my posts and I need to be able to understand your posts.
Got a question? Suggestion? Just email me and I'll answer it here!
