I'm new, where do I start?
When you first visit this site and look over this system, it can often feel very overwhelming and that you don’t know where to start. You may have stumbled into it all alone, you may have received conflicting information from players that are already used to it. Worry not, today I shall guide you through it all! Even if this is the first time roleplaying, as long as you are armed with patience and a will to learn, you’ll be ready in no time!
The basics
Every good story needs a beginning, and every game has some basic concepts that it relies on. This system’s basic concepts – the dice roll – are explained on the Standard Rolls page.
You should also go over the Rules of Role Play page. While not rules of how the system works, it gives you insight into how roleplay works in regards to the server – and teaches some basic concepts that are useful in any roleplay system.
Character time!
Now it’s time to get to you character! The page with the same name will be you best friend in regards to this. On it is the creating a character section, which will walk you through the process.
You will also be jumping to a few different pages in the process. The Attributes and Modifiers details the most basic characteristics, while the Game Stats page will provide the rest of the stats. The Skills and Knowledges page provides a way to customize your character even more.
The Classes Basics holds the information about what are classes and how to progress through them – and each class has its own page too! You don’t need to read them all, of course, but you should find one that you want to play. Some classes may even use magic – the Magic Basics page will be there to explain the intricacies of frying someone with a fireball.
Your character will also eventually have the urge to use tools and items in whatever he decides to do. The Equipment Basics page holds the information about what kind of items there are available and how to get them, while each type has its own separate page. Again, you don’t need to go through all of them, just find what suits you.
Continuing...
Now, there are a few more pages you may be interested in reading before venturing with your newfound character. The Combat page details everything needed to fight and kill others. The Long Rest & Death page tells you how you can recuperate after all that fighting – be it in life or in death. And there is an entire section of lore pages that describe the world you’ll be playing in.
What else is there?
Now, you may notice that there are still more pages that you haven’t read. Do you need to go through them? No! But it is still good to know what they hold, in case you need to refer to them in the future.
The Environment page talks all about how the environment can impact your playing. The Health, Damage & Conditions page has a really long title – but hold valuable information about some of the often used terms while playing. And the Factions page hold it all in regards to the way factions work on the server.
And, last but not least, if you need a quick refresher on everything present, the Cheat Sheet page has most of your broad needs covered.
