The Big Ones
1. WE TRUST YOU. PLEASE BE TRUSTWORTHY IN TURN.
Fair Play~ With that being said, it is important for anyone who wants to play Nights Reborn to read and understand our house rules, the LotN:R, and any supplement playing. While it is not necessary to know every rule by heart to play the game, it is vital that you understand the basics of the game and organization as a whole!
Players of Nights Reborn have a responsibility to interact with all players in a fair and civil matter while “Out-of-Character.” Remember that it is just a game, and that every player has a right to play their character’s personalities and actions as they see fit. So, while “In Character” you (Or another) character can be rude, evil, insulting, nice, etc. remember that there is a BIG difference between the “Player & Character”.
The Nights Reborn game is based on player Honesty. All players are expected to live up to
honest game play. If you have spent traits, then mark them off your sheet. If you no longer have
traits left, do not cheat and use traits anyway. Play can breakdown if all the players do not play fairly. We
try to keep the game simple and flowing, but this only works with honest players. Players who continually
cheat will be asked not to return.
Rules are rules! By understanding as a player what your character can and cannot do and by abiding by
that, you will make the game more enjoyable for all players. It is up to you as a player to prove what your
character can do by always carrying your character sheet. Players who repeatedly play a power incorrectly
may have that power removed from their sheet, or if deliberately cheating. If you are unsure about a rule,
ask a Narrator or Storyteller. If you are told that a rule is played a certain way that you do not agree with, do
not ignore the answer and play it however you see fit. Additionally, Metagaming will not be tolerated.
2. KNOW WHEN TO STOP
This rule really boils down to one thing: don’t argue with the STs. We know, we know, emotions can run high and people can get very impassioned about the game. We love that, really. However, not all of a player’s plans will work, and sometimes you’re going to lose, no matter what.
It’s one thing to disagree with a ST, question their ruling in a situation, and maybe ask for another opinion from a ST. Ask for another ST’s opinion if you think that one ST really messed up a call. The other STs usually won’t take over the situation or ‘redo history,’ but they can talk with the first ST and make sure that the problem doesn’t happen again, or they can try to explain things further to you and make you see that there really isn’t a problem.
What isn’t okay is refusing to accept a ruling, arguing for hours about a ruling, screaming, yelling, or threatening violence when it seems like things aren’t going your way. Know when to say when, know when to stop arguing for a lost cause, and things will be okay. If you keep arguing, questioning every single call, or even progress to screaming, threats and the like, we’ll kindly ask you to leave & “Cool Off”.
Please feel free to approach the ST’s or Game Staff in a mature matter; the ST/Staff are professional people and will treat you with the same respect that you show them! If you want to discuss these rules, the middle of combat is not an appropriate time.
3. THE GOLDEN RULE
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We all remember this from Kindergarten, if not
please see ST staff for further information. Of course, this rule ONLY pertains to “Out of Character!!” ;)
Also players must read and abide by The Nights Reborn “OOC - Code of Conduct” (See the CoC
document for more details).
