Rules

1. Treat others as you wish to be treated. It's called the Golden Rule in some places, and it's a good one. Remember, we're all here to have fun. Your fun isn't any more valuable than anyone else's, so don't ruin it for them if you don't want it ruined for you.

2. That said, tell someone if you're uncomfortable. It doesn't have to be the person, you could tell the mods and they'll handle the situation. We can't do anything if no one admits that there's a problem.

3. For things like suicide, sex, self-mutilation, torture, abuse, etc. you will need to put up a warning in the post and place the content behind a cut. You should also consider asking beforehand to see if it's going to bother anyone. Be considerate. This flashes back to rule #1.

4. Non-consensual sex plots are strictly banned.

5. The mods reserve the right to ban toxic players for out-of-game actions (Racism, bullying, etc.), provided they have evidence of such.

6. All players must have a Permissions Post for their character, which will be linked on the Taken List alongside the character's journal. You can get one here if you don't already have one, but any style of permissions will do as long as it covers the same essential information. Don't do something to a player that goes against their permissions post (ex. if they say not to break the fourth wall, don't have your character call them out on being fictional; if they so no injuries without permission, don't make assumptions in your replies and say your character injured theirs).

7. If someone does do something against your wishes, see rule #2. It may be a simple misunderstanding, so please try to ask the other player to correct their mistake first before contacting a mod.

8. IC =/= OOC. Just because a character is a massive jerk in the game, it doesn't mean that the player is. Just because a character hates your character, it doesn't mean that the player does. Please keep that in mind.

9. The opposite is also true: if you have issues with a player OOCly, don't use your character as a mouthpiece. OOC problems should be handled OOCly between players, or with a mod, and not through IC interactions.

PREMISE

For a long time, we were at war with the Jackals. Now, finally, we've driven them off, and we're left with this: A year of relative peace. One quiet year, with which to build our community up and learn again how to work together. Come winter, the Frost Shepherds will arrive and we might not survive the encounter. This is when our time will end. But we don't know about that yet. What we know is that right now, in this moment, there is an opportunity to build something.

You awake with a crash, as the icy pillar imprisoning you collapsing into shards around your feet. Ahead is the opening of a cave, filled with warmth and sunlight. Behind, bitter cold and many more pillars. Outside of the cave there's a stone head, smiling contentedly, as well as a Jeep, half-buried in the ground. A little further beyond is a cleared landscape, what will be home for the foreseeable future.

The Quiet Year is a DWRP game loosely based on the tabletop game of the same name. It's planned to run for four years, give or take a few months. One year is roughly the length of each season, starting in Spring, moving on to Summer, then Fall, and ending in Winter, when the Frost Shepherds will come to try to wipe out what you, the players, have managed to create.

FAQ

If your question is not answered here, ask in the comments.

Player Concerns What kind of game is this? How did my characters get here? What kind of characters are accepted? Can we app more than one character from a single canon? How many characters can we have at once? What if I drop a character? And a hiatus? How are those handled? Where do I go for plotting or talking to the mods? Not about problems, but just for fun. What do we need for activity check? How will we handle canon updates?

Character Concerns So, I'm playing a character that was played earlier, but the other player dropped them. What do I do? Can we have two different versions of the same character in the game at once? My character needs some kind of drug/food/medicine to live! What do? My character isn't human. How do we handle this? What if my character is dead? But what if my character's undead, a god, or a robot? What happens if my character dies in-game? What if my character has pets or summoned monsters? So, how about combat? So, what, no power limits? How do my characters communicate?
