Group Rules

[Validar]

In an effort to be as clear as possible (as there was much murkiness which had to be sifted through recently), here are some of the group rules that Validar has put in place. Some would be continuations of the rules established in the original group.

Please note, this post is being duplicated in a Q&A thread. Please use that for comments and posts and leave this thread for normal posting.

Spell Sharing
The Guardians rule is that there are open spell books among the spell-casters. The assumption is that if you can cast a level of spell, then you are free to look at that level of book.

Treasure
The way monetary treasure is dealt with is that the group will get the bulk of it, but if there are pressing matters to deal with financially, then they may be funded first.

Individuals make it clear to the PL what magic items or very valuable regular items they would like and the PL makes the decision who gets what. The decision is based upon helping the group first and foremost while being fair to everyone. In some cases a character may be given a particular choice of any item, but that is not guaranteed.

Communication
If someone is away from the group and later returns, the entire set of circumstances does not have to be rewritten in narative form. Indicating that someone told someone else something gives them all information posted. Otherwise, write what you want people to know.

Planning sessions
In order to avoid the extreme level of post bog-down that would result in every conversation before a combat or mission, several things will be assumed. If someone has a comment to make or a suggestion, please offer it, but PL may make the basic decisions and let people work out how they are going to do things.

PL expects to know at least offensive spells available to the group. This is a very tactical matter and may be necessary for everyone to get through the battle alive. Everyone should know what 'artillery' is at their disposal. That said, any offensive spells are to be communicated to the PL. This is assumed through the posting of spells to the spell thread. Otherwise, PL will ask specific questions.

Please add questions and comment (here) and realize that this applies ONLY to the New Frontiers game.
