Written for a first session

Nobody lands here knowing the vocabulary. Read one guide, then read the rules.

02 / Before you play

The rulebook comes first

The guides explain how a British roleplay city works. The rulebook is the part you are held to, it is the same for everyone, and not knowing a rule is never an excuse. Read it before your first session, then use the guides for the language around it.

The city restarts once a day at about 11am UK time, so keep long scenes clear of it. Ban appeals are handled in the appeals channel in the Discord, linked from the FAQ.
