Twilight: 2000 | Poland - Burning Horizon - Alchemy VTT

Creating your character

9 Pre-Generated Characters will be written before the Campaign start to build a Potential Character Pool by the Campaign Referee. Referee will use Rules as Written with some Dramatic License, as fits the planned Campaign. Players are free to: 1. Choose from this Potential Character Pool, on a first-come, first-served basis, up to the Day of game. With 48 hours' notice prior to the first game session, Pre-Generated characters can be slightly changed, with Referee Approval. 2. To generate a character using the T2K4 Rules as written before the game campaign starts, to be approved at least 48 hours before play begins by the Referee. Failure to submit on time before the deadline will cause a default choice to the Character Pool for Episode 1, BUT after approval, the Submitted, and if approved, we can introduce said character into later episodes. 3. Replace Characters lost in gameplay from the Potential Character pool or submit a new character concept between Sessions for approval by the Referee to be introduced in the Next Episode, with at least 48 hours remaining before following episode play.

Preparing for the session

Players will need a Microphone that does not have a lot of buzzing, or extraneous / digital noise, as the game will be 90% conducted via voice. Webcams are Preferred for play, because we will rely a lot on visual cues, but are optional, up to the player. Knowledge of rules of the Twilight 2000 4th Edition by Free League Games is preferred, but not necessary. Players will need to make an account (Free) at the Alchemy site to participate in play at the Virtual Tabletop. All dice used will be electronic, as programmed into the Alchemy interface. Die rolls at home, viewed by Webcam will not be accepted by the Referee. Dice rolls will be in the open, and even in cases of extreme bad luck, must be accepted as valid. Characters are allowed to use and reference the T2K4 Players Handbook, as long as it is not disruptive to the game, or scenario at hand. Game play will not typically cease for rules questions. Players are encouraged not to confront the Referee in Mid-Scenario but may ask polite questions about procedures, etc. as this is both a story, and a teaching game for new players. Players will be allowed to petition the GM after the session and engage in rules discussion in a Discord Channel to be provided. The Games session will only pause if there is a dire rules question at hand, involving Player Character Death. Players must accept that they will be entering play into a scenario and campaign where weapons jam, equipment and gear is lost, characters might be physically or psychologically wounded, and character death is common, but perhaps not likely. However, Character death or other misfortune must be handled with maturity, after a final ruling by the Referee has been made on any Potential Character Death, or injury in question. Other players, as their characters, may express In-Character feelings, and reactions, but the line of Character /Player separation must not be crossed. No Player Character or NPC in the Campaign will have script immunity.
