What to Expect
FOR REAL THOUGH IF YOU ONLY READ ONE POST IN THIS TL;DR ASS MOD JOURNAL MAKE IT THIS ONE
So, Lady and Aviy are running a thing, and you should probably understand what that means before you decide you wanna be a part of it. This post is meant to explain a bit about what is going to be different in this campaign compared to other games on Dreamwidth. We want you to know what to expect, and what we will expect from you. You should think of this as less a rules page and more a "do I even want to be here."
We say "campaign" because we expect to play out the totality of the setting in 6-8 months. Hey, if towards the end of that, someone comes to us with a fresh mod team and a legit plan to extend the premise? Go to. But we aren't planning for that.
Shit's going to be fucked up. There will DEFINITELY be torture, mind fucks, physical, mental, and emotional violence. Bad things will happen to your characters that you can not control.
We will warn for Bad Shit in terms of content, but we will not warn you what shit and when. For us, a big part of the fun of A Bad Game is being out of control as to what sorts of awful things happen to characters. We do not want our own fun besmirched by getting advanced spoilers as to what will happen, and we intend to extend the same courtesy to our players. Of course, we aren't going to be entirely inflexible- if you need an exception to something we can be talked to, but if that conceptually sounds like a bad time to you, then a basic premise of this campaign sounds like a bad time to you.
There will be a lot of tabletop elements in here! Each character will have what essentially amounts to a race, a class and an allegiance. While (just like real tabletop!) we hardly expect you to memorize everything about every class/race/faction, you will be expected to understand yours and see the part they play in the greater game mechanics.
You've gotta be here to do the thing. We have put a lot of effort into the planning (and hopefully execution!) of this. Therefore we ask that players only join who really are interested in engaging with what we have made. Trying to circumvent/change rules will make that a lot harder on us, please don't make us make you play in the actual RP you apped in to. Hey, if you are not sure but you want to give it a try then we will love to have you, but please understand everything that was written here already.
This is all kind of experimental! We are trying out a lot of shit here that hasn't been done in any RP we've been in. Therefore you understand that at times we will fuck things up and need to change them. But you also understand that we can't always react quickly, or can react poorly, or incorrectly, and you'll give us some slack for it.
If all of that sounds good, then lets get to the people-eating!
