Storyteller Guidelines

Unlike most games where a single storyteller runs a game from top to bottom- RATD carries the idea of having an open Storyteller system.

Inspired by "Monster of the Week" style TV shows, my goal is to build a sandbox environment where anyone that wishes to run a game can do so within the agreed-upon boundaries of the setting. Games can be a single one-off event or a long multiweek campaign. The "casting call" comes from an established pool of players with their own pre-approved sheets.

Whenever a game is run, it requires trust. Trust that both the Storyteller will be fair and balanced and that the players will be engaged and civil.

This is a huge bridge to cross for strangers on the internet. And because of this, we're going to be asking Storytellers to fill out a single one play overview document of their game. Think of it as a director checking in the producers of a show to make sure everything is done right.


 * Theme: What is the experience you want to share with our players? Is this a combat heavy event? A stealth run? An investigation? A social meeting?
 * Rating: Mature? PG-13? General?
 * Risk: Is this a campaign that you're asking Cliath to fight nexus crawlers in? Is this one where players may die?
 * Rewards: What might be a reward for this mission? A Grand Klaive for a walk in the park might be too much.
 * Time: Is this a one-shot expected to take 3 hours? Or a multi-night campaign that might take a few weeks?
 * Player #'s: How many people are in this run?
 * Plot Overview: Describe in a few sentences what your plot is
 * Lasting effects to the Universe: Is this a small stakes attack on Pentex or does this involve killing off a legendary hero?
