- Summary information on mobs and NPCs.
About Role Playing
For a better experience, it is recommended to encourage players to role-play and stay in character as much as possible during story sections of the game. During fights, mainly due to the many rolls and round-by-round format, role-play can be more challenging, so more flexibility should be provided. As often as possible, in relation to the story itself, players should be encourage to only exchange with characters with which their own character can physically communicate.
For any questions in regards to rules (related to the game or the world), a short pause outside of the flow of the story can take place.
