This story is based on Icewind Dale, with elements from the Forgotten Realms books and the set of games. I will allow adventurers to have a backstory from another world, i.e. if they have come through a portal from Thedas or another place outside of the realm of Faerûn.
Please write more than one sentence. A paragraph or two is preferred. This is a story-based group with occasional dice rolls and you control your own character.
Please do not post links to images in the IC thread in this group from other sites. The images provided are relative to the story. The screenshots that are uploaded come from the mod
Icewind Dale that I and my friends are currently building using Bethesda's Creation Engine, Skyrim. You do not need to have played Skyrim to participate in this group, it's just used for the pretty pictures.
We prefer profile images to represent your character as closely as possible. We will not accept anime, symbols, or greyed question marks.
Sorry, we can't accept a real person's face to represent a fictional character.
This is a roleplaying game, you play the role of your character, no one else's. You do not write their actions or presume to know them unless it has been discussed OOC. This includes any NPC. The NPCs are there to give quests, advice, and to interact with and are played by the DMs.
The players control their character, the rest of the world is controlled by the DM.
Personal equipment that belongs to a character is determined by the author of that character and should not be modified by anyone else but the author. Overpowered weapons/items are a no.
Naming characters you have not met or have been informed about. Please refrain from referring to characters by name in your post, those that you have not previously encountered nor been told their name by another character.
You will be part of a group, if you cannot post for a while then inform the DM. Your character may be made unconscious by a magic spell so others can still post around you, and once you can post regularly then your character will recover and rejoin the adventure. If you have not posted in two weeks your character will be taken to one of the nearby towns and the adventure will continue for others.
You have the option to join the group again with a new character if you wish. You can also play more than one character, bear in mind the above warning. Original characters are welcome and I will accept cannon characters, as long as you play them
accurately.
IC actions have IC consequences. What happens IC should not be taken personally OOC. I don't want drama OOC, this is supposed to be a fun adventure for both players and DM.
Roll playing is a group activity, your character should benefit the group and it should be enjoyable and interesting. We do not accept any Chaotic Stupid characters.
