PrP Guidelines

Player Run Plots (PrPs) are welcome here on From the Ashes: Detroit by Night. We establish certain caveats which we outline below:

• Players must consent to participation in a PrP.

• All PrPs must be approved by staff before being run. Such approval is contingent on the PrP adhering to the boundaries stipulated in the app.

• The player running a PrP (hereafter 'Storyteller') is responsible for logging all relevant scenes, OOC communication, and rolls in case of later player disagreement. The Storyteller's logs, submitted in a timely manner, shall be considered canon.

• A Storyteller may not run a PrP that involves their own character(s), nor may their character materially benefit from their own PrP. In the event that it becomes impossible to avoid this outcome, the Storyteller will hand the PrP to someone else, ideally to a member of staff. Do try hard to avoid this outcome. The pinch-ST will consult heavily with the original author.

• A character with a reasonable IC reason to participate (e.g. invited by a current participant, ICly) may not be turned away from a PrP. A character without reasonable IC reason to participate may be invited and deus ex machinae arranged so as to include them, but does not have title to such an invitation. A player who attempts to force a deus ex machina onto a running PrP to induce entitlement to participate will be tarred and feathered, or at least laughed at and told to refrain from such participation. If you do not wish to run for or with someone else, make sure everyone you do involve is clear on that before you begin.
