What is Free Form?

I know, confusing huh? After all those gaming systems with all the points and dice, how in the world can all that be cut away and still offer a role-playing platform? Read on and find out.

In Free Form role-play you are the master/mistress of your own character and its fate. There are no dice, no GM's, no elements of random chance; you control what happens to your character at all times. But… this applies to everyone else too, ok?

Exert taken from AOL's New Citizens Info as it says it best:

"Sounds like a bunch of would-be gods and goddesses insisting on who's most supreme," you might say ... but you'd be wrong. The axis that this form of play revolves around is called respect. To fully enjoy Free Form Role-playing, you must respect your peers and their characters if you expect them to afford you the same luxury. If you do not make this step, you'll find that you spend most of your time playing by yourself rather than with a group of players.

Guidelines:

1. No dice, no points assigned; No random elements here, unless they are created by you. In other words, nothing happens to you or your character that YOU DON'T WANT!
2. You are your own GM/God/Director/Storyteller.
3. You don't have to do, play, or imagine anything YOU don't want to.
4. Respect all players
5. Cooperate; play with others, not AT them. (Don't call consequence on other characters.)
6. Stay open
7. Interact
8. Support the Illusion - Play within the environment, play off the others there.
9. Stay within reasonability.
10. Oh, and HAVE FUN.
