Each "person" may only have one (1) Dungeoneer or Storyteller Account, and one (1) Discord account in our server without prior authorized approval. You will be asked to retire any accounts in excess of this rule.
Character Sheets Also known as a "CS," a Character Sheet must be maintained by each Player Account. This is a written record of a character's identity, history, skills, experience, and relationships within the game world.
Copyrited / Illegal Material Do not post copyrighted or illegal material to Antarok or its Discord. Ensure any written material belongs to you, and do not plagiarize. Self-plagiarizing material you wrote that is edited to fit the universe of Antarok is acceptable for development articles with prior authorized approval, provided you retain ownership of that material.
Aesthetics Please avoid using "anime" imagery or cartoons as images or profile pictures. Stylized artwork in a toony style is acceptable.
