What Is This?
A good question. Well, there are currently four main games covered in the unified setting.
- The main setting for the game is present day Sacramento – the capital of California.
- Population of 470,000 and is a thriving, bustling center of government.
We also feature side games in distinct and separate settings from the main shared settings.
Getting Started
First things first, it's quite straight forward - you'll need to think about a log-in ID to access two places:
- The main portal (this hosts the Wiki and the Play by Post (PbP) threads and the Chat element (which is used as a venue to meet other players in real time and carry out some occasional roleplay in the channels available at the Chat.)
- Upon logging in you will need to quickly get to work to set up your forum account. This is probably the way most people will communicate with you OOC initially. It is also the place to submit Characters to and generally access the bits of the site that help you modify the site to your taste.
- Once you've worked with the ST and your Character has been Approved then you can be ready to jump into the City setting!
The site is made of three major components:
- The wiki is where you are now; it's a dynamic database of setting information, including characters, locations, status, demographics, rules... well, you get the idea.
- The forums are where most of the gaming is done, by taking turns posting in threads which represent Scenes.
- Chat is a real-time system for talking with other players out of character, or doing Scenes in character.
- We have a fourth, minor component -- our own custom dice roller, which is used to resolve situations that call for rolling.
Statler & Waldorf
For those Players too young to recall, or those who missed the repeats, “Stadler and Waldorf” – named, of course, after two famous New York hotels - were two characters in the Jim Henson Muppet Show (from 1976 - 81).
They were two peevish and impish old men who, for their own amusement, heckled the Muppets, usually Fozzy the Bear, from their balcony and generally spoke their mind!
The Statler and Waldorf link takes Players to a Thread that is intended to offer Players and ST's a place to discuss matters of the game and talk about OOC (out of character) activity. This could be to congratulate a player on their birthday; advertise a new House Rule or clarify a matter of a Thread or part of the setting.
Introductory Scenes
It is a good idea, but not an absolute essential, for Characters to take part in one of the following introductory Threads to meet other Characters, pick up gossip and generally meet and greet:-
