I bet you're wondering what you found today- you have posted in a serious role-play game called the Magician's Guild. You're welcome to make up a character and join if you like!

Hmm, those things scare me. Too involved and detailed. I'll read it through and see if I feel inspired. Gulp.

I want to join in but please ley me know if I do anyting wrong. I'm thinking like a hyptnotheapist(sp?) before they came up with the name.
I was drawn here because there is healer in my bloodline but I'm out of my depth in roleplay.
You're my mentor whether you like it or not!

That's OK- not like I haven't done this before!

First off, I noticed that you haven't formally signed up yet. You need to do that first before you can play the threads! Go to A2488755 and you can start creating your character. You'll need to pick a class and a special ability listed on the page, a familiar (if you want one), and two weapons you're good with. For example, I'm a Healer, strong willed and survivalist, carrying a bow and a dagger, with a hawk named Chandra as a familiar. You can make up your appearance, too, and it helps to create a Guide entry (A-page) to display it, but that's optional, and won't affect you in the game at all. It's just fun to write your own story! After you've done all this, post it in the box at the bottom of the page, and we'll be able to add your name to the roster of players! I know it sounds like a lot of bureaucracy, but there's very few successful RPGs on here that don't ask for some kind of sign-up... it helps us keep track of who's who.

Next, a little bit about continuity. Continuity is the "law of the land" in H2G2 RPGs. It's very simple, allows for a lot of freedom, and lets everyone have fun! There are three basic rules:
1) Let the victim decide what happens to them. For example, let's say my character wants to throw a pie at yours. I can't say "Scandrea hits Eloisa in the face with a cream pie," because what if it was really important that your face stays clean? Instead, I say *Scandrea throws a pie at eloisa.* I can specify from what distance I throw it and how good my aim is, but you have to decide what happens to you.
2) Don't make yourself all powerful. Sometimes it's fun to let the pie hit you!
3) You can't be in two places at once. For example, you can't have your character in the Healing Hall and in the Stables at the same time. You have to post that you're leaving one thread before you can appear in another.
There's more on continuity on the Join Up page I believe, but these are the basics!

Lastly, a few conventions:
-Actions are put between asteriks: *Scandrea throws a pie at Eloisa*
-In the game, we are allowed to communicate through telepathy. These are put in tildes: ~~Eloisa, duck!~~
-If you need to speak out of character, use the pointy thingies that I don't know the name for:

That's it! As for your character... hmmm... hypnotherapist... you could go one of two classes with that- healer (green robes) or illusionist (purple robes). I guess it just depends which colour you like! smiley - smiley
