Posts are usually done in co-operation with another player - or perhaps more. I (Jhez, the Storyteller) will assign players to do joint posts for the initial gaming - after a while, it will be easy to do yourself. It is important to let your joint-post partners know if you are going to be too busy to reply and then let them play with someone else in the meantime. If necessary, I will fill in, but I would prefer to step back from most joint posts. You are very welcome to place me in the CC-line, but I am not going to comment, unless there is something I have to comment on, one way or another. Such as implicating the Prince in a murder he never committed or letting the Sabbat run lose in Paris without clearing it with me.

Play by e-mail requires active players. I am not going to be sending your turn-based updates on what is going on with your character. Instead, I am going to expect you to write them yourselves. To do this, you will often need input from another player about his or her character, from a member of the Primogen or from someone playing an NPC. The concept in this game is that most NPC's are free-for-all characters. In essence: if you need to create a scene where you need to interact with the chief of police, then you need to find another player to take on the persona of that NPC for the duration of the scene.

The concept behind this is called "NPC-roleplaying" or "Bipersonsrollespil" (in Danish). If a NPC appears more than once, it will be prudent to seek out the player who has previously defined the characters personality. I'll be creating a database on the Yahoo website to show who is defining which NPC as they appear in the story.

How are rules handled, then? The short answer is: By using logic and the natural good judgement of good players. If a referee is needed, then I am available - or any member of the Primogen not currently involved in the conflict can be the referee. This of course gives a high degree of freedom to the players and a possible high level of power to the members of the Primogen. But the powerlevel is self-regulated: If a member of the Primogen makes a bad ruling, he or she will probably not be asked to rule by the players in question again...

In the beginning, please do ask me if you have any questions. Remember that powergaming is not interesting... and that the story is the essence of the game, not the powerlevel of the individual gaming character.
