[DM denimRogue]

The other DMs have covered most guidelines in their threads so I thought I'd just write up a few personal guidelines/preferences.

1. Have fun!
Ultimately, the name of the game is fun. I generally like to think of myself as a laidback DM. As such, OOC conflict is a big no-no. Be friendly, and if you have issues, tell a DM and do your best to avoid unfriendly OOC.

2. Player initiative!
I am big on player initiative. I am relying on you, the players to dictacte events and get things done. If you want to end an event abruptly at a certain point due to X roleplay, go for it! If you want to investigate further and extend an event due to X roleplay, go for it! Just keep me informed of what you're trying to do and I'll be happy to cater to it. Don't always expect success though, but I will always try my best to be fair.

2a. Requests.
Always feel free to send me any requests you might have, whether IG or on the forums. I'll do my best to get to you.

3. Don't be afraid to talk!
As long as you are polite, I would be happy to cater to any requests or questions. It doesn't hurt to ask or request something, even if you think it might be stupid. The worst that will happen is that I will tell you X isn't possible, but I won't think any less of you. Examples for this could be asking me for certain alignment shifts if you believe your character has done something you believe warrants it or if you believe I've forgotten something, such as an XP or gold reward (chances are I probably did if you think so).

3a. Don't be afraid to banter with me!
As a player, I've enjoyed bantering with DMs and developing a friendly relationship with them, regardless of whatever was happening IC at the time. So, don't be afraid to banter with me OOC just as you would any other players, so long as it's within reason and doesn't affect roleplay or the metagame. Also don't be afraid to give feedback on my DMing, whether good or bad.

4. Groups and good roleplay.
While I would be willing to do any request, catering for one character isn't as good a use of a DM's time as catering for a group. If you are requesting something or just in general, your chances of getting more attention from me in general are much higher if you are a group, rather than an individual. Bonuses are excellent roleplay and groups with a similar level range but by no means required.





I will be doing a purely OOC short and sharp record of my events here. Anything you would find out IC will be posted in the RP forums when relevant.
