DYAD'S CHARTER (Rules & Regs)

Golden Rule: Wheaton’s Law applies. We’re all here to have fun, make cool characters, tell interesting stories, and socialize a bit. Don’t be a dick!

The expectation is to post a minimum of once or twice per day (max # of daily posts? Maybe five or six IC posts a day. Any more than that and you’ll outpace the slower posters.) If you can’t post IC on a given day, try to at least do a quick “hey guys, can’t post today. Hold please until tomorrow?”. Message me (preferably) or another player if you are unable to post at all. We get it. Life happens.
If you haven’t posted at all by the second day, I will either skip your character in the current narrative, or write the character’s actions for you. Arranging for another player to take over for you temporarily is also acceptable, but let me know beforehand if you need to do this.
If you need to take a leave-of-absence, just let us know. We’ll figure out what to do with your character while you’re gone - have another player take over, have the DM take over, have him break off to do his/her own thing for a while, etc.
If you haven’t posted or messaged at all for five days, we will consider you to have dropped out and a new player will be moved in. Your character will be eaten by a grue.
Keep OOC (Out-Of-Character) content separate from IC (In-Character) content. Everything will be considered IC unless it's written in the following format:
//OOC words words words //
Example:
Thundarr activates his Sunsword!
//OOC What time does the superbowl start? //
Post content will vary by player. No one is expecting paragraphs of exciting and compelling narrative every single day. Not every post or reply will warrant that kind of intensity. Use good judgement and do what feels best for you and the game at the time. The important thing is to keep the game moving!
Include all relevant dice rolls for actions in the post, even if you aren’t sure about modifiers or if you’re unsure if it’s something your character could attempt. When in doubt, just roll a d20 and include the results. This helps keep the pace up rather than having to wait for rolls before proceeding.
I’m not overly concerned with writing ability. It’s important for readability and interest, sure, but it’s not the be-all-end-all. Don’t sweat it if you can’t turn a phrase like Gaiman or Martin. I’m also pretty forgiving about minor misspellings or grammar snafus. It’s more important that you keep up the posting frequency. Save yourself some time and pain - don’t use ten words when five will do.
Try not to metagame or railroad.
Know your character and his/her abilities. You don’t need to have every single modifier memorized, but keep a general sense alive of what you are capable of.
Feedback and constructive criticism is encouraged. I’ve been a DM for a long time, but I don’t know everything.
