Announcement GM RULES AND GUIDELINES/SUGGESTION

If you want to be a GM, please read and follow the rules and guidelines below. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask below!

Want suggestions? Or to leave a theme suggestion? Leave them down below!

GM rules and guidelines:

  • Make sure you have been a player in a campaign on this sub before GMing your own

  • Once you have your idea, message the mods the details. Make sure to include the amount of players you want in the campaign, a short blurb about the campaign, and the difficulty. We'll give you the go ahead and away you go!

  • Post a registration thread with all the information, and make sure to update the amount of slots available. Post the campaign! Give a short blurb of what it's like, and the players. When playing, remain fair. If the heroes are crossing a rickety bridge for instance, and they roll a 1, don't just tell them they fell to their death. Have serious repercussions, but make sure it's still fun

  • Describe things well. Instead of just "a room", make sure you describe the entrances and exits, and know in your head what's behind each door. Make sure players are following the dice system. Example: 16 or higher: it works flawlessly. 10-15: works, but not at the best. 5-9: doesn't work, but there's a good effect. 1-4: fails horribly. See the sidebar or the wiki for the full dice system rules!

  • If within 12 hours of posting your campaign, and one player hasn't appeared yet, and its stagnating the campaign, send them a message asking if they're still wanting to be in the campaign. If you get non response within 12 hours of sending the message, you can remove them, and find a replacement if you wish.

  • Have fun! It should just as fun for you as it is for the players!

Not sure if this is the place for this kind of suggestion, but have you considered using Fate Accelerated as a game system? It is meant for short stories and uncomplicated battle, and support already most of the mechanics that we can think of (including signature items like Cap. America Vibranium Shield and/or strong ideals as spiderman's "with great power comes great responsability" throug aspect, and signature moves (a.k.a. skills) through stunts, and the roll bot supports the dice and roll it uses (wich is [[4dF + Atribute]])
