Player’s Guide
Welcome to ChristianRPG.com, please read the following guide first before posting. The rules below elaborate on the general rules in
here.
If you had any questions, ask away in the OOC forum.
RPG (Role Playing Game):
In a quick and brief summary, a RPG (that is, an add-on), is where players create their own characters and play them in a world, according to post rules to make up a story. If a world is already set up, such as in the forum of Christia, then the characters are to be played according to the culture, location and history set down in the world.
Rules:
-
Play by post rule: you must play by post, meaning when A finishes a post, B is to respond by making his own post. Everyone takes turn in posting; this is mainly because of the fact that A has to watch for B’s move and vice versa.
-
Control of other players’ characters are permitted, but only minimal control is allowed, exception would be when the players grant you total control, or when the players abandon their characters.
Example: poor control: Wayth jumped over a log to Saliea’s rescue, relief flooded through her at the sight of him and she fainted as the creature turned around at his yell, ready to face a more dangerous foe. Good control: Wayth jumped over a log to Saliea’s resuce, he had a glimpse of her relieved face before the creature turned around at his yell, ready to face a more dangerous foe. Note: never control other players’ characters to the extent that result in changes of their personalities. In here, Saliea was a strong girl, and she would not have fainted.
- the
number of characters is not restricted, one character is recommended so to develop the full potential of the player, as well as the character you are controlling.
How to start:
You either make a thread or join in a story. The making of a thread is explained later on.
The first post usually includes a character bio, the general form of character bio is shown below to assist you in creating your own character.
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Race:
Personality:
Bio (history):
Repeat, this is a general form, sometimes players may feel the need to add in extra headings, like “weapons”, “ability” etc.
Due to the creation of the character database, players now have a choice of omitting their character bio in the first post, but a character bio post must be put up in the character database forum.
When the first post is made, you will then have to expand the story using your creativity and imagination. Some of the things you can do is:
- Describe the surroundings
- Explain what your character is doing
- Write about your character’s thoughts and feelings
Other players would join in, if their interest is sparked, then the story will unfold depending on how the characters interact with each other.
Making a thread:
Not all threads have to be based on a grand quest, and many quests often come about to catch the players unexpectedly. Any players are welcomed to start their own threads, provided that the characters are not in two places at once (two threads at once), and that at least, a very general storyline is given.
Some suggestions here:
- On the way to explore uncharted areas
- Visiting a new place
- Studying in a school
- The working of a difficult government
Threads for
big adventures will normally be accompanied by a storyline, which gives more than a general direction, for example, it may describe the current relations between certain factions and detail out the main events that will occur in the story.
