Hey all! Decided I want to have a shot at running a very casual and open-ended RP with lax rules. It goes something like this...
In the extremely cool and original world of Arandus (generic sandbox fantasy setting, we'll make up the details along the way), old gods long thought to be dead are reawakening. Like newborns, they have no awareness of their own existence, and the unchecked waves of magic they are unleashing through the spaces around them are having untold effects on the surrounding nations. Strange new creatures emerge from dust, the land terraforms into impossible shapes, and existing settlers begin to experience newfound abilities or even the odd mutation. It's been several years since, and there are bounties abound for the corpses of gods...
So, what to expect in terms of conduct? The story will be capable of moving forward without waiting on all players to prevent stalling, anyone who is behind can act like they've been around the whole time to catch up. No turn order, post as often as you like as long as you don't fill up the entire page with a 1x1 exchange. Auto-hits are OK. Yes, you read this correctly. Why are they allowed? From my experience, auto-hits are mostly a concern if players are trying to metagame to be the best or the strongest, but I'm expecting everyone joining here to be in it just to tell a fun collaborative story, which at times involves performing actions normally beyond your reach (if you don't want your character to be affected by this you can simply say so, otherwise your PC is free game by default). Since the setting is sandboxy, feel free to add lore or twists to the main plot, I'm not going to be acting as the ship captain all the time, ideally more as a general guide. Finally, no discord, all discussions happens OOC (exception to this if the thread manages to survive several pages). Alright, that's it!
