The purpose of Mhirdrun is to create a fantasy role-playing environment for you - the person reading this - to enjoy. However, because we cannot please everyone, or even a majority of the people all the time, we've chosen to focus on a few things that we feel help maintain the general sense of enjoyment of a person for the most sustained period. The primary features of Mhirdrun are:
-
"Shit Happens" play-style: Our RP is NOT based on consent or BDSM ideas; because it isn't intended to be BDSM ... it's based on improvised story-telling. Shit happens. Leave your good china plates on the shelf where they belong and come play rough with us. At the end of the day -- we're all playing a game with eachother. Tywin's actor doesn't get bitter because Tyrion killed his character.
-
An unbalanced rules system adapted from table-top rules, using table-top style Dice. Life isn't fair; but it is interesting.
-
An RP environment where OOC disruptions and OOC manipulations are frowned upon.
-
An RP environment where character creation and individual powers are controlled, but choices in play are improvised and free.
-
Where Game Masters and Admins are not appointed faction leaders.
-
Where Player Characters are allowed the freedom to win and lose.
-
Fully-realized role-playing environment where your choices have permanent consequences on your own, and other's characters.
-
A Classical "Swords & Sorcery" setting - that while not necessarily 'realistic' will feel enduring, natural and intuitive to play in.
-
Providing people space to get away from the crowd without dividing the sim traffic, or having to leave the sim for semi-privacy -- with a focus on scope and scale.
-
NOT providing OOC safe-zones or immunity faction headquarters; keeping ALL zones as open traffic for RP.
-
If playing something out makes you uncomfortable; it can happen off camera: "Fade to Black"; preserve other people's story.
-
Fade to Black as a "Fast Forward" button. Not a "Reset to Last Saved Game" button.
-
Dice based table-top themed RP that covers more than just combat.
Things that are only secondary ideas; while present, MUST take a back-seat to the above:
-
Allowing people to play a wide variety of fantasy races.
-
Providing rental homes for players and factions.
-
Allowing capture-RP or slavery scenarios.
-
Sexual roleplaying opportunities.
