Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Hearth? Hearth is a play-by-post High Fantasy role playing forum. We encourage taking part in fun and great stories and playing whatever kind of character you can imagine in a late-medieval fantasy world. Play-by-post is you write something and then post it on the forum and then someone posts their response to what you did, with you following up by posting your response to their post. 2. What is role playing? Role playing takes many forms but fundamentally it is a game of pretend. You design an alternate and fictional persona that we call a character. You then act out what this character does in a fictional world. On Hearth we do this through writing, typically all role play posts are written in third person from the perspective of your character. 3. Is this a video game? No, it is writing. 4. What do I do? You design a character with between minimal detail to as much as you wish. Once that, you post it into the site in the appropriate forum using the appropriate format. Once that is done you are free to write in the role play forums as your character. 5. Do I have to be good at writing? No, while quality, and to a lesser extent quantity, writing is very nice the most important part of role-playing on Hearth is to create and play in a fun and interesting story which can be done no matter how good your writing is. 6. What is and isn't appropriate in this setting? We allow a lot of ideas on Hearth, some things just should not be done. There are no all powerful beings, not even the Gods of the Outer Circles. High technology isn't allowed, especially modern technology. Characters from the future aren't allowed and your character isn't allowed to have any knowledge of technology that does not exist yet. Anything that fits well into a fantasy setting and a late medieval setting is allowed. Steampunk is very minor on the site so while you may have steampunk inspired gear it has to be limited. 7. How powerful can I be if I can't be all powerful? As long as you aren't all powerful, you really could make your character as powerful as you wish but doing such is frowned upon. Many people don't want to role play with a character that is able to melt them with a glance. 8. How advanced is technology on Hearth? Technology on Hearth almost mirrors the technology of the late middle-ages, or the late 15th century of Europe. If in doubt about something, ask an admin or reference wikipedia. Or both. |
