How to Join
Hey there!
Welcome to the world of Riot1360. Want to join? You’re in the right place - here you will find everything to get started!
◦ Please read the following journals:
- The World of Interra
- Rules
- Game Mechanics: Magic
- Game Mechanics: Card Types & Noble Houses
- Game Mechanics: Money, EXP & Death
- Royal Library
The group values Historical Accuracy, but no need to stress! The setting is low fantasy, with magic and fantastical creatures - but also the grisly reality of war and battle. The inhabitants of each country ought to mirror the historical period of its influences, but you do not have to be a scholar to make a character - simply read the journals, where you will find all of the required info. Information on the influences for the lands are in italic at the start of each country’s description in The World of Interra. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the admins, either in the notes, comments or on our discord!
◦ In the journals you will find two markers:
They’re here to tell you, whether the information is essential (you will need it to create a character and understand the group mechanics) or additional (flavour text for those who wish to learn the more in-depth lore).
◦ Grab the app:
You will need to download the full resolution image of the application.
► There are three card types: bronze, silver and gold. Bronze applies for commoners, while silver and gold apply for nobility. For more information, take a look at Game Mechanics: Card Types & Noble Houses .
- All characters start out as bronze, unless a higher slot is purchased with in-game currency. Ranking of these slots determines how many stat points your character begins with, as well as the availability of weapons and the amount of skill tomes. You can find these cards and their stats in The Market.
► Pick a country of origin for your character. Influences, visual references and descriptions for each land can be found in here - remember that the character’s visual appearance should be appropriate for someone of their social standing in the group’s time setting.
- If you cannot draw a character, do not worry. You can either ask or commission a friend or someone from the group, to draw the character for you. Please understand, that you are required to hand over any reference images you want to be incorporated into the design as this is your character and not theirs.
► Fill out the character information, which can be found in the description of the app itself. If you need any help, remember that the mods are here to help you!
- For more in-depth explanation of faith, visit the Royal Library.
- Explanation of the combat system can be found in the Royal Library. The list of spells can also be found in the Game Mechanics: Magic journal!
- For a list of weapons, armor and available skill tomes, visit The Market.
► When you complete your first draft, submit the application as a note to the group page. If you are in the Discord chat, feel free to tab an admin to notify that you have done so. When they are free, they will go over the information and make any critiques necessary, which will have to be followed in order for the character to be accepted. While the group is fantasy themed, there are aspects of realism involved. If the admins feel that your character's clothing needs to be corrected or that something is amiss in the information, you will need to follow their instructions to progress. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification, if you’re confused - we’re here to help you!
► Once you get an okay, it’s time to click the join button on the main group page. Add a link to your character before finalizing your join request. Once fully accepted into the group, submit your character to the appropriate folder, which is either Nobles or Citizens. After that, you can finally join in on the fun! Phew~
◦ F.A.Q:
- “What about money?”
In-game currency can be earned in many different ways here, mainly through art and roleplaying, but also by participating in events. That money is used for The Market, but what about the actual character? They'll naturally have a certain amount of wealth - whether you want to make them rich or poor, we'll leave it up to you! Remember to keep it sensible, however - a peasant cannot afford the life of a noble and so on.
- “Where can I find the information about my earnings and amount of experience points?”
Your character’s information is regularly updated in the Ledger. Visit the ‘Player Details’ tab to check how much money you have and ‘OC’ for the amount of exp your character has.
- “My character has a familiar - where can I find the list of available companions and their stats?”
Check the Ledger! You can pick the familiar’s species in the ‘Basic Species’ tabs, while ‘Prefix, Suffix, Title’ offers the necessary information about stats changes, should you apply any upgrades!
- “Where can I find stats for NPCs?”
Same answer as in the question above! If you have an important NPC that you wish to be noted down, notify one of the mods so they can add them to the ‘Named NPCs’ list.
