KoTE Character Submissions 

 Here one will find the guidelines governing character creation for those interested in playing as a member of the Kindred of the East game. Any questions that this page does not answer, please direct to the Yotl Head Storyteller.

 There will be additional Year of the Lotus games in the future. Until those venues have a specific ST, they are NPCs for the KoTE game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is expected of me as a player?

A1. First and foremost to ENJOY YOURSELF. As the YotL Head Storyteller, I aim to make the role play experience for those involved as enjoyable as possible. I will put the players through loops and jumps and at times give them the Taj Mahal. The game is about you and for you. I am only here to run the NPCs and make sure you have fun.


Q2. How will Experience be controlled?

A2. I will be accepting experience requests through email only. Feel free to email me anytime you wish to spend experience points earned. There is no limit on how many requests you send as long as you have the supporting points to cover your expenditures. All experience expenditures will run under the formulae in the KoE corebook, pg 142. This formulae is current level times experience point cost.


Q3. What do I do if I have trouble with another player or an ST from a different venue?

A3. Please take a screenshot if possible and email me directly. I will attend the matter myself along with assistance of the Administration of the chat to see the issue is resolved. I would rather attempt to clear the situation up without too much hassle. Please know I am here for you the players. Do not hesitate to come to me with questions, gripes, issues, complaints or even new ideas.


Q4. May I have permission to run personal storylines?

A4. Please feel free to run any kind of personal storyline. You do not need permission to run one but for EXP purposes please inform me of the concept, basic premise and a summary of the SL including plot twists and any and all endings that could occur under game play. The more original the SL, the better the chance one will gain extra credit EXP.


Q5. What are the game times for the venue?

A5. Game play will be announced regularly on the chat forums and the egroup. I will most likely run something twice a week between the hours of 6p - 11p Eastern Standard Time M-F and on weekends variably.
