Rules

✗ Non-negotiables
- Players must be 18+

PLEASE DO:
Keep an open mind.

Be kind and considerate in your interactions with other players.
Do not engage in personal attacks, harassment, or discriminatory behaviour.

Make sure all participants are comfortable before getting deeply into a story line or conflict.
Obtain explicit consent from other players before initiating any significant roleplaying scenarios that may involve sensitive or potentially distressing content. Respect one another’s boundaries when roleplaying - don’t push anyone out of their comfort zone.

Remember to take care of yourself too, only you can. 🙏

Being a complete and utter 🍆

CAN I:
- Use an existing character from another community but tweak them?
Absolutely. Likewise it is very easy to integrate and tweak characters from other settings such as DND, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age etc.

- Make my own race/class/etc?
Absolutely! We're always open to new material for the setting - let's talk about it.

- Make a demi-god?
Absolutely! We are all for creativity here. However, just to maintain a good balance in our setting, we ask that you currently please keep it to one demigod per player. This applies mainly to the main plotlines and isn't really important to in-game slice-of-life scenarios. Too much power will cause an imbalance and no one wants that.

- How do campaigns work?
In all honesty this is all one big ass homebrew setting, but the campaign should work like traditional table top games such as dnd/pathfinder etc. We'll be doing this over discord and integrating with bots etc. that make this possible and keep tracking of character sheets and stats. There will be mistakes and teething problems, we expect this! We'll learn and overcome them 😊

- I want to RP here without doing the campaigns. Is that possible?
Yeah! You also won't need to worry about setting up the character sheet or character advancement etc. unless you want to use these resources to develop your characters over time. But that's up to you.

- Play a God/historical figure?
At this time, these roles are non-player characters and expected to remain so due to the interactive requirements of these characters in campaigns and plotlines.

- Do you mind canons?
We don't actually mind canons roleplayers using IMAE to find likeminded individuals interested in Ancient Roman supenatural RP 🤷‍♂️ Our only request is be sensible and keep the broader setting intact - i.e. a Kratos shouldn't be undermining the setting because of his vendetta with the Gods. Let's keep it all in balance!

- Do you mind furries?
No. As above, we're not against anyone using the setting to write their characters with their partners or to find people with similar interests. Plus, y'know - there's literally minotaurs and snake people running around disguising themselves and living on their own communes. Then there's Zeus' proclivities to worry about so furry ocs are the least of anyone's worries lol 🤷‍♂️ If there's enough interest we can look to integrate some official lore into canon and even build on this too.
