This is a private Roleplay intended for a tabletop game of Shadowrun. While online, it is a forum/chat-based, highly-literate, role-play which simulates the conversations, meetings, and planning that goes on between each run. For these reasons, it is a closed RP. Thank you for respecting its privacy.

Post-Specific Guidelines:

• Art is encouraged, but not necessary.
• Pick a font (color, style, etc) for both yourself and your character*. Attempt to deviate from what other people have already chosen.
• There is no maximum or minimum word count for posts (I find that having a minimum word count tends to lead to brain-numbing exposition), but encourage 'fullness' in descriptions.
• Please avoid image-heavy (or exceedingly long) “fluff” or "borders" around your post.
• Along the same lines... Please avoid using your Signature in main story posts.
• If talking Out of Character, please put double brackets (()) or [[]] or {{}} around your post.

*I think the author of Misery Loves Company spoke truth, “Every character is to have a character color in order to differentiate dialogue easily, this is for your convenience and it makes the posts look nicer overall. When considering your character color, please do not pick an obnoxious, retina scorching color that will be hard to read for others.”

Shadowrun - The System (Rules) and Setting used for this game. Shadowrun is a Tabletop RPG released by Catalyst Game Labs, and was originally released in 1989. It is defined as a "Cyberpunk Fantasy" game, and has won five different ENnie Awards, as well as several Origins Awards.

RP – Roleplaying Game, a game where people pretend to be other characters in order to tell a story. Roleplaying is the progression of children's games like “Make Believe,” or "Playing Pretend." With adults, Roleplaying is an outlet for creative storytelling, thought puzzles, and escapism.

GM – Game Master, the person who created and/or runs the Roleplay. This player is sometimes called the Dungeon Master (DM, from Dungeons & Dragons), or the Storyteller (various, notably Exalted).

PC – Player Character, the primary character of each player—the “main characters” of the story.

NPC - Non-player Character. Characters usually controlled by GMs. These are “side characters” that help to populate the world around the PCs. In Free-Form Roleplay (such as forum-based roleplay), players who are not the GM often create NPCs to fill in the world (these are often unimportant side characters who specifically interact with or are attached to primary PCs).

OOC – Out of Character, usually put before a sentence, or as a sub-heading within a forum. The text following the “OOC” declaration is from the person playing a character—not something that happens within the bounds of the story.

(()) - Shorthand for OOC, these brackets will surround short sentences or comments which are “out of character.” Some RPs frown on players adding OOC phrases in the main body of an RP (as there are separate threads for OOC chat). Use sparingly, unless it seems generally acceptable by the particular RP you are participating in. ((Example: This RP will probably have plenty of OOC chat within the main body of the story.))

Godmode, Godmoding - The act of taking too much power during a free-form game. The term comes from the tendency of new free-form RPers to have "god-like powers." Godmoding can also refer to doing things to other PCs (or other-player controlled NPCs) without their consent; such as killing, grievously wounding, or tricking them. The "correct" way of doing such invasive interactions is consulting with the "victim" before any action is taken within the Roleplay.
