	We do not plan on giving PRP accounts special permissions to access sheets. A player can show any other person their sheet with the "'''+sheet/show <viewer>'''" command, so a PRP runner need only ask to see someone's sheet.

 * '''Extended Note Writing:''' A standard player account can only manage notes for their own account and their own NPCs.  By contrast, a PRP account can set, edit, and delete notes on other player characters.  They can only view the notes that they themselves have written (or notes that have been made public with the '''+note/publish''' command), so it is hardly a staff view of notes, but it is useful as an organizational tool to collaborate with the players they are engaging.
 * '''Additional +Equipment Access:''' When a player looks at another player or location's inventory, they only see the item name and description.  When a PRP account looks at the same, they can see any note that a player has put on the equipment piece as well as notes left by staff.

+Yes! You can do so through +request. You can nominate a player for a point of XP for the following acts:
 * '''Learning Curve:''' Characters who’ve learned something pivotal to either the plot or their own personal character development can earn a point to reflect that knowledge. To earn that point, the player should explain why that knowledge changed her character’s world. Acquiring a new dot in a stat does not count as “learning” in this context.

 =Can I "Punish" Characters in my PRPs?=
-Yes. There is a difference between providing consequences for characters versus merely antagonizing players, but if you think it is appropriate, you can take the gloves off with the characters in your story. Just remember, if your plot comes with the potential to kill, you must either tap the brakes to be transparent with every one of your players, or you must tap the brakes to vet what you're about to do with staff through a +request (if you haven't already).

 If you feel that a PRP runner is abusing the leniency of our PRP policies and using "plot" as a thin disguise for OOC motivations, please contact Batty.

 Submit your plot (or plot idea) to staff!  You don't have to, but this is the best way to check for anything you're not sure of.
-Staff will triage what's going on and if someone is doing something that runs into your plot then we'll let you know and figure out what we can do so y'all both can run something fun. If you have observed that staff is running a certain type of antagonist or plot arc, you still are welcome to submit an idea that is similar! Who knows, they might only look similar on the surface. Just because staff is using hunters or the technocracy as an antagonist, for example, doesn't mean that you can't also do that.

 If you are wondering about running into people whose characters should be embedded into a certain industry or world, you can type +inf/list to see all the influence categories and then type '''"+inf/list <name of influence>"''' to check if there are any players considered to have dominated that influence track. If you can see someone on the list when you check that influence type, then now you know who you can loop in! You have no obligation to sync up with these people but you are encouraged to.

 :3) Send in a +request asking to have your ST account set up.
-Next, just go wild. Run scenes.  We trust that your idea is sensible. You are expected and trusted to refrain from using existing staff-run NPCs or WOD canon NPCs without explicit permission, and you are expected and trusted to limit involvement of splats that are not supported on the game (such as Werewolf or Changeling). We recommend and prefer that you send in a +request to post brief summaries of the scenes and the room they took place in so that we're kept in the loop and so we can use that information to award you karma/XP.  We also strongly recommend and prefer that you build up the Wiki to help make content about the game continuity accessible. Is there a specific gang that haunts a particular neighborhood, for example?  Slap it into our setting.
