Who We Are
This is a free-form literate role-playing community, with a semi-medieval setting and a unique, well-formed world. Our creative writers have gone to great lengths to make sure that every aspect of the setting is full of depth and historical detail. Naturally this is a fictional world, but we've tried to make everything seem as realistic as possible while still maintaining the aura of fantasy. So please come in and have a look around. We hope you enjoy your stay.
Free-Form Literate Role-Playing
"What A Mouth Full!"
What we mean by literate role-playing is that here at TSR we focus on the writing aspect, not on the gaming. You will find no dice here, nor attributes or skills or items to be purchased. Everything your character might have/do/be able to do must be provided by you, the writer. And while the creative staff here have provided a host of descriptive world settings, at some point you will have to pick up where they left off and describe the everyday workings of some of those settings yourself. But fear not! Our helpful staff is almost always on hand to answer any questions you might have.
The Setting
"More Worlds Than You'll Know What To Do With"
Because of the nature of the setting, there are infinite worlds outside of those described by the writing staff. Your character can be, literally, from anywhere. As for the worlds themselves, while all the details might not actually be written out, there's very little that our writing staff doesn't already have figured out. So if you want more information, feel free to bug them. That's what they're here for! As a writer, you are also free to invent to your hearts content, so long as your inventions fit into the meta-physics of the world.
"...So What's The Catch?"
We at TSR expect a lot out of our writers. We expect maturity, intelligence, and creativity. Not to worry, though. Most writers who get into role-playing already have an abundance of all those qualities. So just be yourself, and have fun!
