Game Rules for Storytellers
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 5:53 pm
What kinds of restrictions and policies do you think storytellers should abide by? What problems do you see arising with them that we should make a robust policy to handle?
Right now, our plan is to limit storytellers as follows - please comment!

Code: Select all
- STs may not give special benefit to their own characters through the
scenes they storytell. Please use STing as an opportunity to facilitate
others having fun rather than self-agranding. Eg, using ST to further
individual PC goals is a conflict of interest and prohibited (eg, an
ST with a plot to overthrow the Queen on their alt must not run a scene
about a mob revolting in Church Square against the Crown).
- STs outlines all objects and mobs they want/need loaded for the
quest
- STs have total control of scenes they storytell with the following
restrictions:
- All PC death, maiming or permanent loss must be consensual
with the PC in question approving.
- PCs refused entrance to a ST scene are entitled to know why. STs
must supply a reasonable, RP-related reason on rejection.
- PCs may leave a scene at any time if they are not enjoying
themselves.
- Storytellers may not give out long term rewards such as
equipment or stat bonuses directly. These things must be
pre-approved by staff as a reward for their quest/story, and
their dispersal must not be knowingly biased.
- STs may not implicate other PCs or organizations without the
approval of those PCs and said organizations (place approvals
in the POLCA.) GLs may provide approval on behalf of their
guilds, PCs must approve their own personae being used.
