Player roles

In Serttena RP you need to be at least two to play, but the more the merrier! Here is all the information on who does what in a RP.

Types of RP
First you'll have to decide what kind of role play you want to do. Here is some ideas on how you can play.

One on One
for this you'll need two players: A GM and a player. This kind of RP is going to be fast paced and intense. A one on one RP is great for giving a character a chance to improve and get better, but there won't be much room for character development since the character can only interact with GM characters.

Story making
A role play without a GM. You need to be at least two players, but preferably more. Since there is no GM every players word carries equal weight. This type of RP is pretty laid back and won't be much of a challenge since players make up a story on the way. But it can be a really fun experience.

Royal
The standard way of Role playing. For this you'll need a GM and 2 and preferably more players. The players follow an epic story led by the GM. A fun and challenging way to RP.

Player versus Player
This is recommended for advanced players. This RP is like royal but players are allowed to kill each other or might even quest against each other as enemies. requires a GM and at least 4 players. The GM should consider adding the HP and MP stat as well as damage rolls to make the game seem fair.

The Players
Everyone who wants to start Role playing is strongly recommended to begin as a player. As a player it's you who are going to be playing through the GMs story with the other players. All you have to do is to create a character and live through him in an epic adventure. You'll act as him and make his decisions but you also have to make him interesting to the other players and the GM. Creating a good character isn't hard, creating a good character however requires experience and practice.

Here is a list of what you have to do as a player
 * Create an interesting character
 * Act as you character and play through the story
 * Interact with the other players and the GM characters
 * Try to develop your character to become stronger and awe inspiring
 * Have fun!

The GM
If you want to make your own story for other players to play in you would want to be a GM. Gm stands for Game Master, but can also be called dungeon master or game leader. It's recommended that you learn how to play first and have some experience with the type of role play before hosting your own. Compared to the players the GM got the top most authority at the table. Your word is law and must be obeyed by the players. But with great power comes great responsibility. You will need to create a interesting story where the players characters both get challenged and rewarded for their decision making. You will control every character that isn't controlled by a player and every monster they'll face. You have to be fair and just to your players, but punishing if they deserve it.

Here is a list of what you have to do as a GM
 * Create a story which give room for your players to develop their characters
 * Control all GM characters and monster
 * Decide the outcome of all the die rolls
 * Narrate your players through your story
 * Make sure the players behave and solve any eventual twists that may come up
 * Have fun!
