Rules

1. Don't post before having your character approved. We require character approval of all PCs by the mods. NPCs do not generally require approval. Any characters being altered or updated are subject to review by the mods, who may ask for modification.
2. Many plots go on at one time in Shadow Star; sometimes several taking place in the past while others take place a few days or weeks later. Characters are allowed to be in multiple threads at once.
3. This is not a chat room RPG; so please don't write like you would in a chat room. Write in proper story format. Third person past tense! If you're looking to get power characters such as royals, guildmasters, or powerful mages and knights, be creative, write well, and be detailed.
4. The main list is PG-13; anything which goes beyond that needs to be taken to Shadow Star Adult. If you're not sure if what you're writing is over PG-13, contact the mods.
5. No controlling another's character without permission. This includes auto-hits or auto-kills. You can swing at the other character all you want, but give the other player a chance to react.
6. No playing invincible. This is also called god-moding. Be realistic! Don't have your character be fired at five times and not get hit once. Also don't have spells that there are no way out of.
7. Please do not confuse Shadow Star with D&D, Middle Earth, or other worlds, as Shadow Star is an original world. Please read our Guide instead.
8. Ask permission before starting any game-wide plots. We usually just want to make sure it does not interfere with something already planned.
9. Bondtalents must also be submitted to the mods for approval before graduation. If there is no Talent on record at that point, the mods will choose.
10. The gods do not resurrect people; only necromancers do. Don't kill off your character if you don't mean it.
11. OOC means Out Of Character; IC means In Character. OOC knowledge =/= IC knowledge, so do not have your characters know something they couldn't possibly know.
