RPPs

What are RPPs?

RPPs (Role Play Points and Perks) are a way of rewarding your efforts to tell your own story. They are:

• Gained from roleplaying with others, and spending time ongrid in any non-PrP or non-DM'd scene (these have their own rewards)
• Spendable on a variety of things which enhance your story
• Awarded per player; as you earn them, you may spend them any way you wish among your alts

How do I Get Them?

Step One: Join Roleplay

Get out on the grid! Only non-PrP and non-DM'd scenes count; these sorts of activities have their own rewards.

Step Two: Send Staff a Note

What Should I Know?

• Use +request/rpp to send us a note
• No need for a lot of detail; 2 sentences is about right
• No LOLspeak
• Any non-DM/PrP RP is ok! Don't be picky!
• Each person submits their own (who's in RP can change over time)

Examples

+request/rpp Burn, Beer, Burn=Kimmin ran into Sandy near Braggart's Tavern during an Alexandrian pub crawl. Sandy was as drunk as ever, and for Tarien's own reason the two decided it was a great time to set fire to the Tavern roof--only to be chased off by a set of arvek nar.

+request/rpp Glitterpouf's Performance at the Ox!=Glitterpouf performed at the Ox today, with Bob, Sam, and Slate present. He sang a few rounds of rousing folksong before getting boo'd off the stage.

Step Three: Buy Things

Select from several options, below.

What Can I Buy?

Types of RPP Spends

Unlimited		Purchasable an unlimited number of times. Sometimes, they may be purchased up to N number of times (it will be listed).
Limited		Purchasable once per category per PC. For example, you may purchase one Aspect.
Exclusive		Only one Exclusive spend per PC. These are spends that require a significant investment in time on behalf of your PC, and will develop as you do.*

Subtypes of RPP Spends

Tiered		Any of the above spends may be Tiered. These spends advance! That is, over time you can invest in them to unlock additional abilities. If a spend has Tiers, it will list them. You can advance with a RPP Tier as high as your Level/2. For example, at level 6 you could earn your third Aspect. Tiers are often abbreviated as: T1, T2 for Tier 1 and Tier 2, respectively.
Token		Additional, unlockable abilities. Almost all Exclusive spends offer Tokens once you've advanced high enough.

* If RP takes a different course, you can transfer from one exclusive to a different one. At tier one, this may be done for free. At higher tiers, you transfer at one tier lower than previous (though you must pay any cost difference, if there is one). This may not be done for Ancestral Weapon, due to its complications.

Know What You Want?

Know what you want? Send in a +request to the SPEND bucket, letting us know what you're purchasing. Make sure you've moved all your RPPs to the correct alt, first, though.
