1. Before posting for the first time it is a good idea to either draw up a human or ghost character that relates to the ghostmaster game itself or is personalised by yourself. The guidlines below will give further information for both humans and ghosts:
Humans can act,feel,touch and say exactly like we do in real life. They have no ghostly powers, but can be mediums, ghostbreakers, witches etc and be tuned into the spirital world. They may even be telekonetics/phycics.
Remember humans have limits and you CANNOT create a character than can dispel ghosts on side, posess other people etc unless specially played out in a pocket realm which are described later.
Ghosts are both more powerful and less powerful than humans at the same time. They have special powers that allow them to interact with things but they may be bound by certain situations/events (especially something involving their death!) and they are limited to powers generally in the game or those agreed with other players/ghost guides.
You CANNOT create a character like the Darkling and go round swallowing people in the normal rooms with out a chance at defence - it may be allowed in a certain scenario in the normal rooms or is definately allowed in the pocket realms as it isn't attached to reality although again for enjoyment it may be best to set limits.
That isn't to say that powerful human/ghost characters are discouraged if handled properly and defined with limits - who knows, an incident could be interesting! but if in doubt ask a ghost guide.
2. There are normal "peramement" rooms in the house to allow easy normal socialising/roleplay and also "pocket realms" which basically allow you to play out a scenario wherever you like.. please remember this board is still mostly family orientated so no explicit abusive/sexual/adult orientated material is allowed.
Humans and ghosts can enter and leave these realms at will via doors and such but remember that humans do so at their own risk
4. Please remember to follow the standard forum rules when particpating in RP, that is attacks against real people In Character or Out of Character are not allowed.
5. The ghost guides have the final word in disputes but will try to be fair and equal handed at all times in actions. If there are any questions ask them or me.
6. You are assumed to be In Character (IC) all times _unless_ you put the words for Out of Character *OOC* in a post, in the subject and if you want in the post itself. You can post OOC threads in the middle of a story/situation post.
7. You may also create multiple players characters under one board user name but if you wish to do this post a thread explaining what ID you are going to use to indicate this, e.g. like the example below between a lackey ^^ and the main PC "" :
^^Hey Boss, whatta you want to do with this^^
"Nothing ConeHead, leave it."
Remember to read the actions list if you are interested to know which actions you can do!
More rules and guidelines will be developed over time, but for now, have Fun!
