Based on the world: “City of Fog and Salt” by
...
World type: Open
War’s like a rich man’s dinner: the gluttons eat until they’re stuffed, then they throw out the scraps for the common man to pick at. The war in the Bleak Lands was no different. The end of the Dark Lord didn’t end the terror he instilled. The Order’s received news that three Heretics — the elite followers of the Dark Lord — have entered Coldrock, presumably to meet for some foul purpose. The Night Watch is strapped keeping riots down and thugs in line, so they’re willing to call in a few favors to get this scum out of their city.

Pretty flexible…I don’t want this high pressure…post because you enjoy it. Suggest third person past tense. Fun, welcome to all. PG13-Preferably no bad language/profanity/vulgarity. It is best to elude to it, such as (the character) flew into a rage, yelling profanity and vulgarity.
If you are interested in exploring something with your character, LMK.
MOVE OFTEN: While I understand that life gets in the way, I enjoy fast-paced games where people stay engaged and there is at least SOME activity each week, leading to about 1 scene per week. Note: If you aren’t posting, I may include your character in the narration to a greater extent. As long as your character description is accurate, it should be easy for anyone to be true to your character. But of course, if you are posting, your character should be the main focus of your move/post.
It’s important to let others know if you need help/need a break/are simply busy. If you’re going to be away/busy for a bit, let me know so I don’t have the story’s progress hinge on you.
Play off other moves, if possible, but I know this can be hard to do.
Info for invitees and applicants: none specified
Looking for those committed to staying engaged and see this story through. The more the merrier!
Please, no sexual situations.
As a rule, players should be able to have other player characters or GM characters take minor actions or make minor statements/ask minor questions as part of their move without needing to ask permission. Players and narrator have the right to ask for revisions if they feel the character wouldn’t do that, but the story moves much more smoothly if we all allow this.
I will sometimes write for your characters in the narration, especially if you are not participating. You may request revision if necessary–I just find that if I do this, transitions / scene openings can be much smoother, and scenes can get moving faster.
-I like challenges to be completed in full. Let the cards guide your writing.
-Typically play only one card at a time. You may play two cards at once occasionally if it doesn’t become common.
-Most NPCs are fair game.
-Cardless moves are fine.
-Please get with me if you choose to leave the game so we can get an exit for your character and bring closure. Leaving is fine but it can be disruptive for those who remain.
-While the game is mostly serious, some humor doesn’t hurt!
