The 1-2-3's of getting started.

There are a few steps to getting started in the Wyrldscape role playing game that are imperative. There are many others that will add to the enjoyment and ease of play, but these can be taken care of at a reasonable pace after one begins posting for those who are chomping at the bit to begin playing.

Returning to the subject at hand, those things one must do and understand before playing:

1) Know your Wyrld: you should have at least some idea of the region in which you intend to start your character so that you can effectively interact with the people (NPCs and PCs both) that you will meet. At this time you must start out in one of the nations of Darisia. You can learn and read about other regions more as you have interest, it becomes necessary, or you have the time.

2) Know the Rules: your character must start out as a neophyte in the Wyrld. This is in the interests of fairness to all involved. Imaginative and skillfull posting can lead to quick advancements in many arts, though mastery always comes through dedication as well as native talent. You should also read and agree to the Terms of Use and be familiar with Wyrldscape's Privacy Statement.

3) Know your Character: create a character who is balanced, has some history, and have a good idea what they can and can't do. Email this character to the game masters so that we can approve it as fast as possible and get you playing. Please be as detailed as possible.

4) Know your limits: the Wyrld is a dangerous place. No one likes to lose a battle, lose a fortune, or die, but actions have consequences. Someone who makes enemies must deal with them, and someone who makes powerful enemies may be in over their head.

5) Know how to have fun: this Wyrld exists for the enjoyment of others, as well as yourself. Please enjoy yourself immensely, while also being considerate of the interests of others playing the game. In character antagonism is fine, but this behavior is not in the interests of the game when it carries over into out of character actions.

6) Know where to post: The message boards for the Wyrld are located at http://wyrldscape.com/Boards.

With these six simple rules one can get started on a road of fun and fantasy in the Wyrld. Hope to see you there soon, and good gaming!
