All documents, files, and materials utilized in The Glassfang Syndicate are the intellectual property of their original authors, and are protected by applicable copyright laws.
You may not input any original content posted within this server into any AI tools, without the explicit permission from the original creator. This includes both works created by members, and works commissioned by members. This server does not use AI to generate any official texts or images.
Absolutely no harassment, instigating, antagonizing, or witch hunting. Sexism, racism, or hate speech will not be tolerated.
This includes posting in the server or DMing fellow members.
We are here to escape the real world!
Unless specified by protocol, do not ping any roles. Only ping @admin in an emergency (server raid, spam, etc)
While we are an 18+ server, we are not that kind of server. This rule applies to both OoC chats, and RP. For reference: the expletive 'Fuck!' is allowed, but detailed descriptions of doing so is not. If you are unsure, err on the side of caution
For questions use #dnd-questions, #server-questions, or #other-questions. For suggestions or feedback use #server-suggestions. For conduct concerns use #ticketing. Please refrain from approaching staff or DMs in voice chat about server-related discussions or questions. Staff and DMs sometimes use voice chat simply to relax and socialize alongside other members. Using the appropriate text channels allows us to respond as time and energy permit while maintaining a written record of questions, answers, and rulings for future reference.
Let the DM know if you're going to be late or if you need to step away mid-session; don't interrupt other players on their turns; let everyone share the spotlight; etc
DMs have the final say on the mechanics in their adventures. Any questions or concerns about a ruling can be posted in #dnd-questions or #dnd-mechanics-chat after the adventure. Any server-wide rulings will be added to House Rules
Be ready for your turn in combat, and make sure you're familiar with your abilities so you can take your turns quickly and efficiently. Most games have a specified time limit, and we want to be sure players are doing their part to help keep the game moving.
Your in-character knowledge is going to be separate from your out-of-character knowledge. While all text RP and discussions are readable by all players, your character only knows the information if they were present for the RP.
Use avrae in text, and set your roll20 rolls to 'public' unless otherwise requested by the DM.
You may not transfer any items or currencies between any of your own PCs. This includes using another player's PC(s) in between to act as a proxy. Additionally, you may not have more than one of your PCs participate in an activity that grants XP; meaning cannot have your PCs compete against each other, or have more than one PC in any singular session or event.
Do not turn any IC conflict into OoC conflict. This includes: excluding a player from adventures or non-PC focused plots because your PCs do not get along; treating lack of OoC availability as IC neglect; hostility towards another player or their PC if unfavorable commentary is made about your PC IC or OoC.
Your PC may be required to work with PCs they don't like; or a player may have an OoC boundary you need to be mindful of. As the only one who controls your PC, it is your responsibility to keep them flexible enough, or to find narrative reasons, to work within common limitations.
Some times people may not be up for a dramatic scene. Consent is ALWAYS key for heavy RP. Err on the side of caution if unsure.
If there is a problem with another player's conduct, please follow the appropriate channels and submit a ticket in #ticketing.
