The Tavern Rules

Nailed to the door by Fred himself. Read them before you pull up a stool.

1. Keep it in character… mostly

This is a roleplay paper. Stories, letters and gossip are in character (IC): your hero can be a liar, a villain or a drunk. Out-of-character (OOC) remarks are fine when you mark them, e.g. ((OOC: great event last night!)).

2. Be kind to the people behind the characters

• No harassment, slurs, threats or hate speech, IC or OOC.
• Characters may feud. Players may not. Leave real-life grudges at the door.
• Never share anyone's real name, location, photos or private messages.

3. Keep it tavern-appropriate

• No explicit sexual content. Fade to black.
• Graphic violence belongs in war reports, not in comments.
• Mark story spoilers for new WoW content in the first two weeks after release.

4. Play fair

• One account per person. Alts are characters, not accounts.
• No spam or advertising, and no buying, selling, trading or offering services — not even in-game gold or carries. This is a fan paper, not a market.
• Only post art and writing you made yourself or have permission to share.

5. How moderation works

• Comments with strong language are held for review automatically. They are never silently deleted.
• Members can ⚑ Report a comment. After three reports it is held for a moderator.
• Letters, news tips and events are all read by a moderator before they are printed.
• Repeated rule-breaking can lead to losing your badges, titles or your seat at the tavern.

6. A fan project
