An Online RP Guide for Newbies... Version 1.0

Online rpgs are very much like pen and paper.
The basic idea is very much the same.

Typical Battle in C&K
1)Each post counts as a move
2)Dm is the only one with dice, unless stated otherwise

The idea is to complete a mission or dungeon. To do so you must:
1) Be able to derive information from common speech
2) Be able to defend yourself using a weapon of your choice
3) Slay what ever evil befalls the heros
4) Stay alive with what ever the DM throws at you. Anything Goes.

You collect GP (Gold points) and other gems, artifacts and currency. You then use this to buy needed supplies for your missions

You also have something called xp (experience Points). This is used to beef up a character. The more the better and you get them by defeating monsters, being clever (DM can give some out) amongst other things

There are levels for characters, and more xp = more lvls = stronger characters = better dungeons.

There is something called ac, or armor class. The Higher it is, the harder it is to get hit.

You have different stats decided by rolls of the dice. There is STR DEX CON INT VIS CHAR... you have HP (hit points) when they run out your dead.

Sometimes the DM may let you come back to life if someone in your party (group playing) can cast a spell bringing you back to life. Sometimes he may prohibit it.

You also have fortitude, reflex and will but i'll save that for 1.5, as it is much more complicated
_____________
|==Weapons==|
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Weapon damage is decided on dice roll, usually by a 1d6, 1d10, 1d4, 1d20, 1d12. this means that one (1d10) roll of a ten (1d10) sided dice

They have a certain range (how far they can shoot) Weight, type, size, and special properties.
___________
|==Armor==|
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
You can wear armor, and a shield (if your weapon is one handed)
Armor has these properties:
Tpe, Armor Bonus, Max Def Bonus, Check penalty, spell failure, speed, weight, and special properties

Your shield has Armor bonus, weight, check penalty.

(Sticky plz)

Here are the rules if you wish to have a RPG going, a Battle Going, or some sort of fun D&D type game going.........


1) ALL D&D TYPE GAMES MUST BE PLAYED IN MIRC!!! HERE IS THE REASON!!!!!!!!!

we cannot have the forum clutter with posts such as *the DM rolls his d20, and rolls a 5" that wont be allowed, and it takes time to do it on the forums. so i will have to set up a room in mIRC with BAAL about it. See Next rule for exceptions........


2) i WILL allow played out RPGs in here. What i mean by this is that you can type out the story line and actions like normal, but it MUST be over 1 paragraph of story to complete your action.


3) If you are going to battle, plaeas no
*Godmodding (not ebing able to lose and giving yourself godlike powers)
*No whining, if you lose, you have lost, i wont tolerate it at all.
*No swearing, none at all, Crap and substitutes like Faulk are ok, but no irect swears or foul language.

*and no Ante games, if one person wins the other one goves the voctor a prize (anything from a cyber session, to a hack they cant find) idc this is NOT ALLOWED.


4) Please pass all FINISHED rpgs by either me or BAAL so we can lock and move the thread........

5) have fun doing this stuff, its why were here......Leave the modding to me and BAAL, and leave the fun stuff to you, ok? cool.

Definitions

Here I will explain some common short terms we use at RPR so you wouldn't be all confused.

RPR = Role Player's Realm. You are right here, silly. ^_~

RPG: Role-playing game. In RPR terms, it is where you role-playing an organized game with a GM, which is the only person allowed to make plot twists.

RP: Role-play. This is a loosely played game with no special purpose or a quest, everyone is able to twist the plot.

GM: Game master. The one who starts the RPG and basically makes up the story and the plot twists.

Godmodding: See tutorial above. Something that shouldn't be done.

OOC: Out of character

BOT: Back on topic (Both have been defined above)

PP: Power-play. It's when you do the actions of somebody else's character.

FP: Force-post. Same thing as power-play.

Questions, problems and how to get an answer

Have any questions, queries, are wondering about something? Are you stuck somewhere, do you need help?

Simple PM (private message) one of the moderators. We always love to help.

A little reminder: Whenever you see flaming, godmodding, too much swearing or any improper things done, simple report the post or PM one of the moderators.

Same thing goes for finished RPGs that need to be closed.
