A) The room is a World of Darkness room ONLY. There are plenty of other rooms for "freestyle" players, so we ask that they use those particular rooms instead of the Macabre City.
Q) If i've got "Tremere/Order of Hermes/Pooka/Spook/Stargazer/etc. etc." in my handle, does that mean I can play in here?
A) You still must know the system. The rule is - wear the name, play the game. People "freestyling" a World of Darkness character are not accepted [because we've seen what can happen... Awakened vampires? Um, no]
Q) Does my character need to be "approved" to play in here?
A) No. It will be plainly obvious if you are not playing by the World of Darkness rules. However, in the cases of large storylines, those wishing to play major roles may be asked to submit their character sheets so that the NPCs can be fairly balanced.
Q) What is the "World of Darkness", and how can I get the rules for it?
A) The World of Darkness is a top-notch system created by a gaming company called White Wolf. It is, essentially, about supernatural creatures in modern times. The rulebooks can be found in gaming stores and can also be ordered from the internet. Simply speaking, you can look through the books and decide what you'd like to play, then go and grab the book!
Q) What World of Darkness games are generally played in the Macabre City?
A) In the earlier days of the City, it was nearly exclusively Vampire: the Masquerade. As more people come in, the city diversifies. We've fledlging Mage and Changeling groups, as well as Wraiths. All true World of Darkness characters are welcome!
Q) Are there storytellers?
A) The room Admins fulfil the roles of "storytellers" for major [citywide] roleplays. The STs/Admins are Sam, Tim, Shane and Mapp. If you want an "adventure" or some such, and need a hand, the STs will help you run them by playing out NPCs - providing you ask reallllly nicely!
Q) What are the major storylines at the moment?
A) "The Infernalist Problem" is a main one at the moment, incorporating Kindred and Mages. For information, please consult the Story tellers.
Q) Are there any limits on Generations (Gen Caps)?
A) Yes, God Characters are really not welcomed in the room. This makes the game unbalanced and unfair. Not to mention boring. The current Cap is 10th Gen.
Q) Is there a stat limit?
A) Once again yes, The limits on stats is four dots. This is the ensure no god characters.
Q) Is Sabbat Characters allowed?
A) No, there is no exception for this.
More Faqs will be added at the Admins earliest inconvience.
