PRP Resources

Our PRP policies are listed in our Policies! [[1]] The policy page is great to explain what and how to get started, but the following content is advice and help once you've gotten a PRP account to help you out.

Storytelling Style

You can storytell in whatever way you see fit, but since we are out to create an accessible game for casuals as well as power users we want you to be willing to do the following things:

Please do not map IC deadlines to an OOC date. IC deadlines should never be OOC Deadlines! If you have a time-sensitive deadline IC, that's fine, but any +request or @mail stating a character's IC actions to be completed by that deadline are valid so long as the request is sent in before the day of the IC deadline. You can read more about this outlook in our Mission Statement. If a PRP runner maps an IC deadline to an OOC date and this causes an issue for a player who couldn't complete the IC task due to OOC reasons, then staff reserves the right to change the IC continuity accordingly.

Please do not set forth any expectation that players should wait on a timestop. We do have a command to issue timestops in order to dog-ear a scene and mark it down as a cliffhanger. However, [Timestops] on Modern Nights are not intended to put anybody in an RP lock (it all goes back to valuing the time of casuals and a trust-first model to our players as in our mission statement).

Remember that 0 HP does not need to mean dead! The WOD health level mechanics aren't necessarily a shining model of balanced or believable behavior. We're here to tell a story for our engagement and enjoyment. Short of some significant mitigating narrative factor, you are strongly encouraged to treat 0 health levels as critical condition (and impending death if they don't get medical attention), not actually dead.

Leverage the Karma system! Is your player stuck? Offer advice for a karma. Did they come unprepared? Offer the right tools for a karma. Once you're done, you can report that somebody spent their Karma in a +job (hopefully the same job you give 'em XP for!)

Storytelling Resources

As a PRP runner, you can manage and access notes which can be hierarchically sorted.
