Rules:

Behavior and Etiquette
Be polite and kind. If someone thinks you aren't being polite or kind, please take that in stride. We all want a friendly game.

There will probably be at least some R-rated content (PEGI 18). That doesn't mean that everything will be gross, ultraviolent or sexual. Just that those things might happen.

We expect posts at least every other day, and prefer once a day. Life happens, but a post every other day isn't too much to ask.

If there are rules questions, GM settles it. There is no rules lawyering—it isn't fun in person and it's less fun in a PBP. (You can discuss things with me in PM to make your case, but if I decide against you, don't throw a fit)

Have fun. If you aren't having fun, feel free to let us know and dip out. No hard feelings! Games are meant to be fun!

Gameplay
Your FoRKs are preapproved. I will overrule them only if I determine they do not make sense in context. This can be lost if you regularly abuse it.

Help is assumed. The onus is on the Active Player to review the Helper's character sheet, make sure they have an appropriate Skill, and inform the Helper they have earned a Test. If the Helper decides their character would not have helped in this situation, they have veto rights.

In both these situations, if a die is vetoed, the last die is removed from the roll, regardless of success or failure. If there is ever any concern about order, Help is removed first, then FoRKs.
