Adventuring

Morality

Players are free to do anything they want in-game. Some may join groups of bandits to kill and pillage, while others try to defend the innocent. The game does not confine players to lawful activities. However, all actions in the game – be it good or evil – have consequences.

Regular RPs

Members can create open or private threads and freeform roleplay on their own. Staff will never interfere with regular roleplaying threads unless they violate the rules of the site.

Quests

Quest are structured roleplaying threads with a specific storyline or clear objectives.

• Quests can be found in the Quests board.
• These quests do not have a dungeon master (DM) to affect the story.

Events

Story Events

Terrasphere has an official storyline, which is told through story events run by dungeon Masters (DM).These events are often for everyone, which means that you do not need to sign up to join and may join at any point during the event as long as you catch up on the events that has happened thus far via story trackers, which are made so you can quickly catch up on DM posts.

Story events are very special and tend to run anywhere from a few days up to 2 weeks. They are formatted so they are short and can end in a timely manner. Since story events can feature anywhere from 10 to 40 real RPers in a single thread, you don't have to read every single reply except those that pertain to your character.

Although you are not required to post every single day in an event, the story progresses quickly, so it is a good idea to dedicate some time in your day to keep up with it! This is one of Terrasphere most unique feature so be sure to check it out!

Monthly Events

These events happen every month, which will involve you actually roleplaying your character. Unlike regular roleplaying, you are not required to post for the entire event and can hop in and out whenever you would like. These events are primarily hosted so you can earn special rewards either through wits or luck.

Contests

Contests happen fairly often on Terrasphere. These can be anything from advertisement to world building to story writing. Check the announcement with the tag (Contest) for more details.

DM Challenges

DM Challenges are adventures run by a dungeon master (DM), who plays as the "world". The DM has full control over the story, NPCs, and monsters. When the member engages in combat or interacts with important NPCs, the outcome of all actions are decided with dice rolls or by the DM.

DM Challenges often require you to reply daily, if you sign up for a challenge, please make sure you can dedicate the time and effort to keep up with the thread. Most DM challenges take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks.

• All challenges are death-enabled unless stated otherwise.
• Each DM have their own style, rules, and expectation. It is best practice to read the profile of the DM who is offering to run a challenge in order to see if you would like them or not.

To sign-up for a DM challenge, all you have to do is to post in the DM LFG (Dungeon Master Looking for Group) thread in the Group Finder forum. All DM challenges go by the first-come first-serve rule. However, you must meet the qualifications detailed in the thread. Even if the sign-up appears to be full with no DM confirming the roster, we recommend you post in it anyways, in case one of the members is not qualified or drop out for some reason.
