Hello everyone. Introducing two new DMs to join our staff of vets: DM greypawn (a frequent player), and DM Darrien (was on staff, but couldn't be here for first days of launch). They'll be helping on the client from now on. Say hello?

Hello lovely ladies and gruesome thugs,
I've been asked a few times now if that means my player character is out of the picture. I'll still be on the player side as the initial roll out of stories unfolds and while I become more familiar with background lore. I'll probably decide to either go full DM or full player by alpha. In the meantime, all 'shot calling' DMs with any real authority and say over the story and server policy will continue to stay PCless. Suppose you can think of me as a lower tier DM for the time being.

I hope one of you beautiful bastards is going to take on the exploration guild if not one of the current staff members.

I'll touch base with the team later this weekend and see what sort of foreshadowing events I can do for you guys. Sounds like theres already plans and I don't want to step on any toes.
Remember, you can join one faction in each category. So if you wanted to play the inventor investigator who holds traditional religious values then you can easily join several events. I'd actually suggest considering one faction your main then pick up one or two secondaries. A religious copper, a scientist who taps into the blackmarket, ect ect.
adding:
Our faction system really makes single minded characters a bit of a poor choice.

yeah, an explorer whos always out and about aiding the law is a completely doable thing here. You'd probably function as a well trusted informant by the law, after building up to it of course. if you think of it as philosophies you are subscribing to maybe that will help?
Power: What does my character do to keep the money coming in? Copper, Crowder, Chester.
Religion: What are their core religious beliefs like?
Education: What sort of learning approach do they take to things?
Don't take the above as law. I believe YMD designed it to be extremely flexible to underline the diversity within humanity and the chaos within the setting. And your characters values probably will lean to one or two or even all three specific categories.
And, of course, I'm new to the staff. So you may want confirmation from somebody who's been designing this thing for awhile.

So you may want confirmation from somebody who's been designing this thing for awhile. This is pretty much it. There is also a 4th type of faction which will come way later on, but it's independent of the others... stuff like secret societies, terrorist groups, stuff like that. But that's all concept right now, maybe we'll get there when we get there, for now we want to solidify our base like a filthy Republican. |
