Multiple characters closely involved with the same PC, whether the relationships are friendly or not, still is against our policies. As stated above, casual relationships are fine (e.g. I interact with Jane because she's the local cobbler, and the only person I can reliably get shoes from), but rela...

It occurs to me that roles may have altered the Troub calc since that used to be 1-20. I'll check with Az.

From Staff Talking Points: A player came to us and asked us to request other players do not publicly disclose their alts because they found it immersion breaking to know who was behind all of the faces they interact with before they'd even met the other characters. Staff discussed this issue, and wh...
