Legacy Social Contract

This is a document all Pikes & Parchment members are obligated to swear to before each new campaign or one-shot. It lays out what we're all about. Feel free to pick and choose, but this is something we feel should be unique in some way to everyone's taste.

Having one of these out in the open and accessible is something we should've had from the start of gaming. Having, essentially, a "rulebook" for how we play has made us (myself especially) consider just what we want out of roleplaying.

Don't break the game.
Purposeful intent on breaking the game is not wanted in the games we play.

Don't break the GM.
Simple respect for the GM is required as they're mandatory to run the game. Acknowledge the work they spend in preparing the game.

Realize that you're character represents you and vice versa.
Your character's behavior is reflective of your own in both instances of good and poor choices.

Set your character's alignment to be Lawful Good, True Good, Chaotic Good, or Lawful Neutral.
You'll be playing heroes with the intent of removing evil and living to tell the tale all the while staying mostly within the boundaries of the law. This game is not intended for you to make "morally grey" decisions.

Treat other PCs and NPCs justly.
Recognize that other beings have different goals and personalities.

Treat other players with kindness outside of the game.
Fights that occur outside the game are cancerous. Remain open and diplomatic at all times.

Know that the contract is prone to change with age and different style games.
You will be required to review the Social Contract before each campaign or one-shot.
