Welcome to the Basic Game Rules page. This page is dedicated to all of you new to "RPGs" and "PBeM" games. This tutorial will explain to you, in-depth, how HnR works and how it will be played out day to day.
First off, let's explain what an RPG and PBeM is...
RPG- RPG is short for "Role Playing Game". Just about any person in the world that actually plays video or computer games for that matter has most likelyplayed some sort of an RPG, whether they know it or not. In an RPG, you take on the role of a character, living in their shoes, making their decisions, kind of like another persona of yourself.
PBeM- PBeM is short for "Play by E-mail", which means the game revolves around you making decisions such as purchasing a weapon, buying property, constructing a building, etc., then emailing us and telling us the specifics of what you want to do.
Now that we have some of the newer people up to date, let's begin our basic rules, regulations, and a HnR tutorial.
Your gangster career begins in Santa Monica, a booming west-coast city in which you currently reside. When you begin, you will start off with a set amount of money, depending on which profile you have associated you are associated. (If you created a custom domestic profile then it will be classified into the categories already on the list) Don't worry, you can change it later. With this set amount of money you must either purchase property or grab a weapon and go headlong into the ferocity of strong-arming the weak and running errands for your boss or "employer" (If you have either). Most people, when they join, will elect to join a Mafia Family, Gang, or just become independent and do as they please. You cannot, however, just up and join an organization, though you are free to start one of your own. In order to join an organization you must first contact someone in the organization and have them speak to their head honcho, whether it be a leader or a Don. If, however, you happen to have a bit of luck and a strong weapon, you may be able to ultimately destroy a weak or unkept organization. We will discuss organizations later in the tutorial.
One of the biggest assets of HiT N RuN is the ability to own property, construct it, and even sell it.(This property isn't just for looks) The property itself generates a weekly revenue, which in turn goes into your pocket. |
