RPG stands for role playing game. RPS stands for role playing story. IS stands for interactive story, which is sometimes used in place of RPS. Both RPSes and ISes are types of RPGs.

An RPG is a type of game in which a person creates character who lives in a fantasy world and interacts with the people there. It kind of like doing an improv play. You who the characters are, but you have to come up with the lines and personalities of the characters yourself.

Section 3: The Mailing List

A. Okay, I've been added to the ML, now what?

Start writing your character's first chapter.

B. What's the ML address?

lupus_decove@rocketmail.com

You may not have recieved mail from the ML for several reasons:

1. No one has posted anything.

Let's face it, everyone get's writer's block, or gets to busy, or something just comes up. You aren't gogin to recieve something from the ML every time you check your mail.

2. The ML admin has not checked his mail.

Before anyone starts believing otherwise, let's get one thing straight. The ML admin does have a life. He cannot spend the entire day checking the ML. Also, RocketMail is web-based. If internet connection between the admin and Rocketmail is down, the admin cannot check the mail.

3. Are you sure you were added?

This is important. If you were not added to the mailing list, you need to get that solved. See Section 2, Part C of the FAQ.

NO!

You cannot send anything you want to the ML. Please try to limit the number of posts that are not related to the Saga of Serithor. These eat up disk space, and chances are no one wants them.

Do Not:

Send chain letters to the ML

Send attachments to the ML

Send advertisements to the ML

Doing so can and will result in your removal from the ML.

Writing A Chapter

Send it to the ML. In the Subject line should be:

[Saga] Character Name Chatper # [Location(Optional)]

See Section 3, Part C

Write another one. Read other people's chapters. Decide if you want to interact with another character in your next chapter. Take a break. Relax. Whatever. Of course, you could re-read what you recieved and make sure nothing changed.

Yes. As a matter of fact, this is highly encouraged! The only thing you need to do is get the player's or players' permission(s) first. Chances are, they are going to want to write part of the story also.

Yes! This is also encouraged. However, you must do something special to make this character stand out. This type of character is a non-player character. Close to player character, but not quite. They need stats. Submit them to the character approver like you would a new character, but replace the word character in the cubject line with NPC.

PCs vs. NPCs

A PC is a player character. These are people in the story whose fate is directly controlled by another living being. You must get the player's permission before involving their character in your character's chapter.

An NPC is a non-player character. They are much like PCs, only anyone can use them in their story. It is, however, polite to ask the creator of an NPC or the person who was last using that NPC before using them for your own means.

Besides what is mentioned above, the major difference between PC and NPCs is the "kill" factor.

You must get the permission of a character's player before killing them.

If your character is mad at another character, kill their favorite NPC lackey/sidekick.
