The short version

A few principles, not a substitute — the details, examples and edge cases only exist in the PDF.

Roleplay over gunplay

A great scene is not about who wins — it is about everyone leaving with a story worth remembering.

Respect the person, not just the character

Conflict belongs in the story. Harassment, discrimination and OOC hostility are never acceptable.

Consequences are the point

Injuries, arrests and betrayals must affect your character. Value your life and portray your condition honestly.

Anomalous concepts need approval

Grounded, scientific anomalies are welcome; classic fantasy races are not. Talk to staff before you play one.

These four points do not cover metagaming, powergaming, FailRP, FearRP, combat and hostage rules, character death, second characters, combat logging or heist procedure. Every one of those has its own chapter with specific requirements — download the PDF and read it before you play.
