FAQ

#BlkDragon*Inn is a text or chat based, semi-free form, medieval fantasy roleplaying game that’s hosted on Discord. We don’t use any particular game system rules regarding character creation, or a dice system for combat. What rules we do utilize are meant to ensure preservation of the setting and fluid, enjoyable play for all players in the channel.

Yes. As of December 2019, #BlkDragon*Inn now requires Character Sheets. The switch to Discord has meant a few changes to how things are done in BDI, and one of them is that new players often expect a sheet and character approval. The moderator team’s primary focus during character approval is on magic use and whether or not it’s consistent with a character’s background. The character sheet template is simple, and moderators are available to help players as much as necessary.

#BlkDragon*Inn was founded by AngelSin and BLKDRAGON on EFnet in March of 1995. The exact date is debated at this point, but the original email invitation was sent out at that time, encouraging friends to join them on IRC to chat roleplay. Since then, BDI has undergone a number of changes in management and location, but still retains many of the same principles that brought the original players together. In the twenty years since its founding, the setting has been added to from dozens of sources, including players and old channels that have since closed.

Players have a month after they join to submit and have a character sheet approved. They receive the Lurker role after completing server entry steps and can read what past RP in the channels. Once players have a character sheet, we do activity checks if a player has been inactive for three months.

Yes, by all means. Players are encouraged to contribute to the setting.
