The rules below were written specifically for roleplaying. If you are looking for our general FC rules, they can be found at the bottom of our homepage.

1. Be respectful. As with any group of diverse people, disagreements are bound to occur. We just ask that you keep such disagreements civil and walk away if they start to get heated. IC drama is fine, OOC drama is not.
2. No powerplaying, godmodding, or meta-gaming. Powerplaying is when a player regularly manipulates their character's set of abilities, knowledge, etc. to overcome obstacles they're presented with. Godmodding is when a player controls another person's character without their permission. Meta-gaming is when a player uses OOC knowledge to gain an advantage IC. These methods make roleplay critically unfun for everyone else so please refrain from using them.
3. Keep it SFW. What you do on Balmung at 2am is none of our business and we're not judging, but any content posted here must be PG-13. If your character/venue has mature-but-not-sexual themes (drinking, drug use, violence, etc.) then you can host your profile on Carrd instead and post your link to our directory.
4. Spoilers are allowed here. We do not enforce a no-spoilers rule for roleplayers due to how drastically it would limit everyone, so we strongly encourage players to complete the MSQ before roleplaying. Consider yourself warned!
5. No sticky fingers. Please respect others' intellectual/digital property. Do not use art or writing that does not belong to you without explicit permission.
6. Good faith law applies. If you are not technically breaking any rules but still intentionally making the experience worse for others, we reserve the right to issue disciplinary action at any time.
