Rules

NPC Characters

Of coarse, as like in other roleplays,only the Dungeon Master may play Non-Playable Characters. An NPC character is not capable of decisions or leadership. The DM controls what the NPC will do, get, go, and what happens to them and the other characters of the party.

DM Control Abilities

As in other roleplay games, the Dungeon Master controls all NPC's, shops, bars, inns, stables, towns, and the storyline, among other things. In Runelands,in fact, the DM is allowed to have their own playable character. But, of coarse, their's a catch. The DM must roll for everything that has to do with their character. For the DM, everything is based on chance. Also the DM is not allowed to lead the party, but they can, in fact, state their opinion.

Shoppe's & Other Buildings

All will be preset buildings with the choice of using them. The DM will retain control of all NPC characters that reside in the town the party is in at the time. Some buildinds are abandoned. But also in some buildings may be hidden items, weapons, armor, or other useful things. Money even perhaps. It all depends on the DM.

Initative

The highest roll on a 10-side die goes last. the lowest will go first. 0 on a 10-side die counts as a 10. Play in order according to the lowest roll on the die to the highest on the die. Lowest goes first and highest last.
