For all all normal OOC discussions.
Rules of the Game:
You're the good guys, not antiheroes or good villains.
Base experience is 3 points per page of the IC thread, not including whatever page we're currently on. This is given automatically, and you can spend it whenever. More will be given for good roleplaying, extra ideas, and so forth. As a special note, putting up dossiers in the NPC thread will be likewise rewarded. I use those a lot, and I can never remember who I named what.
Put characters in the appropriate subforum, and just tack on a post everytime you spend xp. Please keep a running total of what you've spent.
Any Charm in the MoEP's or First, Second, or Third Book's of Sorcery is fair game as written. The Scroll of the Monk, Heroes, or Lost Races requires oversight. Ink Monkey and Errataed charms do likewise. Yes, I know they're canon, but so is Obsidian Shards of Infinity and Epic Zeal. Other elements are allowed depending on whether or not I have the books, etc. The Return of the Scarlet Empress is explicitly not canon. She might be marrying the EB, but I've got plans I don't want to reveal yet.
Custom Artifacts, charms, spells, etc, are fair game and strongly encouraged.
You can pick either way to handle backgrounds gained in play. If you spend xp on it, it will have a certain amount of plot immunity. A certain amount is not infinite, however. If you pick a fight with Three Weasels, the Greatest Thief Who's Ever Lived, and suddenly you wake up with all your stuff stolen, don't be terribly shocked. I'm not out to nerf you.
A certain amount of running away is expected. Not all fights/debates/conflicts are to the death. Any problem that is to the death will have at least one way out, and almost always three. The exception is situations you guy put yourselves into I cannot foresee. The corollary to this is occasionally you'll be opposing people vastly more powerful than you. If you wind up opposing someone who's a league up or so, remember that while combat power scales exponentially with Essence, intelligence does not.
Finally, who's got a flying ship or enough money to rent one?
