Play Rules
Rooms and Privacy
Role plays are considered free to join unless otherwise written in the topic/room title.
Private role plays should be reserved for one-off situations, such as campaigns or situations where it is virtually impossible for others to attend. On the forum private role plays are still public to be read, so be considerate in how you use them.
If you want to watch only, it is courteous to ask permission first. Some people don't mind people joining on the fly, but it can be a little nerving being watched.
Intimate or Graphic scenes
Players may choose to 'shut the bedroom door' and continue the scene from the aftermath, denoted with some form of line break (***, ~*~, etc) or as preferable. Those who choose to carry forth and allow depth into the scene should restrict themselves to what one would read in a romantica novel. Best put as:

While our lovers do make love, and the reader is there with them, physical details are described, but are not graphically depicted. Much is left to the reader’s imagination and/or possibly the use of euphemistic “code words.” But what’s most important are feelings and emotions, not body parts.
Character Deaths and Resurrections
Culturally speaking, the natives of The Tapestry strive to make a mark on the world in such a way that they earn the attention and are given a new path to walk. The bard does not favor just the mighty in the stories, as they are not always mighty in their revisions. The hero of the last generation may be a simple baker in this one, but no less interesting to The Skald. And they do not necessarily have to worship this being to get this perk. This is the artist's gift to the world to continue the stories. However it is not without some... miscalculations.
This means you can use the death of a character to change things up.
There are two methods you can use to bring back your character, one is costly but does not require any work. The other requires some organization and help, but does not cost as much.
