Aethershards: Origin PBEM General Rules (2010-05-09)
I. General Scene Concept
From Wikipedia, 'a scene is generally thought of as the action in a single location and continuous time'
The structure of game play is called a Scene. Basically, the GM presents the player's with the time, location, and whats happening. The players then post what actions their characters will take. The GM processes those actions and responds with the changes to the scenes. This cycle continues until the scene ends. And the game moves onto the next scene.
II. Posting
1. Post at least once for each scene. If you skip responding to a scene, the GM will have to assume what actions your character has to take.
2. Posting is not mandatory on weekends.
3. Posting length is not restricted. However, the longer the post, the longer it takes the GM to process it.
4. Digests will come at some point, probably after a scene is completed. They will be posted to the website.
5. Vacations, sick time, and life stuff. Please let the GM know if you are not going to be available.
