All our events will be written before the start of the season
and fully prepared, complete with fleshed out NPCs and appropriate props.
Never will we run any "save the world" plotlines and all of our
villains will be designed to fit into the flow of the campaign plot. None
will ever make a sudden appearance, get defeated, and then vanish to never be
heard from again. In addition, there will never be plots that change
history or that are designed to make any of our NPCs more powerful.
No plot will force a player to change race, class, or skills
in part or whole. While plots may provide players the opportunity to
accomplish these things through the formal magic system, we will not make them
just happen to the PCs.
We will not use the ability dragon magic against PCs. At
best, such things may occur offboard or in tales but none of our players will
ever face a ritual effect that is delivered as battle magic.
If any player(s) figure a way through our plots, we will let
them do it and will never write around a clever idea from the players in
order to keep a plotline alive and unchanged. In addition, if a plotline
is not providing entertainment to the players, we will wrap up the loose ends on
it quickly and shelve it even if it has not yet reached its intended
conclusion.
Racially oriented plotlines will be designed such that they
will not require a group involved to be exclusively of one race.
No variant rules will be used, only strict 7th edition rules
with such national playtests as Cantrips.
The National Monster Manual will be used. Any new
monsters will have stats designed and approved in advance, never on the fly on a
weekend or at an event. No new monster abilities will be used, only core
monster abilities. Nationally accepted abilities such as Return Magic and
Damage Cap will be in use even though they are not yet in the current edition of
the rules. A listing of nationally approved monster abilities will be made
available to the players at each event.
If we design a unique monster, there will not be multiple
numbers of that monster for scaling purposes.
No monster shall be used which we cannot phys rep. This
means no giants and the like. Multi-NPC monsters will require a form of
costume which holds them together properly.
Finally, cheating will be reviewed and dealt with immediately,
whether it involves PC, NPC, or staff member. Any concerns and/or
complaints can be directed to any staff member of
NERO Neridia.
