Q. What is Forum RP
A. Forum RP is a text based Roleplaying system where the players, or writers, play characters within a predefined environment (in this case Scadrial). In most forum RPs there aren't any statistics experience points like those found in video or tabletop based RPGs. Characters are portrayed solely through the use of text and written descriptions, turning the RP almost into a form of collaborative story telling.
Q. Where is this RP set?
A.
This roleplay is set on the world of Scadrial as established in the Mistborn Trilogy, and developed in The Alloy of Law into a steampunk-esque world.
Q. What do I do if I'm new here?
A. Head to The Law section and read that first, then head to the Character Creation section to create your character, feel free to drop into the Shoutbox and say hi.
Q. How do I join people's threads?
A. If a thread has Open in the title then you can join that thread, if their is a name in the title however, and that name is not yours, then the thread is a private one, you can read all you want, but you cannot post in it. If you feel you really should be in the thread then feel free to PM the thread starter and ask. Some threads may have Ask in the title, in which case it is hoped that you will PM and ask the thread starter if you can join in.
Q. Can I post in other Cities
A. Yes, in fact we encourage it, but please try and keep a sense of reality within it, there is no teleportation. That doesn't stop you from posting in other cities though, we'd just rather you weren't posting everywhere all the time.
Q. Can I kill another character?
A. A player original character? As long as you have that players permission then go ahead. Canon characters? Only with the express permission of the staff.
Q. Can I hurt other players characters
A. This site is set in a turbulent time, some violence is to be expected, and as long as you have the players permission and co-operation you can hurt them.
Q. Bookmarks?
A. Bookmarking a thread subscribes you to it, meaning that you will receive a notification whenever someone posts in the thread. You can bookmark a thread either while writing it by using the settings menu in the top right hand corner. Alternatively, if you were not the creator of the thread or wished to bookmark a thread after creating it then you can simply bookmark it through the action thread. You can access your bookmarks through the bookmark task on the navigation bar at the top of the page.
