Box Codes
The use of Box Codes is strictly forbidden. They are often poorly coloured, boast pictures that slow the site down and distract the reader from the writing which, in our opinion, should speak for itself.
Text Colours
Font
Fonts can be difficult to read, especially when players start to get fancy with their font choices. Please be considerate of others when selecting the font you want to use. If we are unable to read it, you may find your font edited by a Moderator. This is a mobile friendly site.
Speech
Please try to use speech-marks whenever your character is speaking and remember that, when a second or third character speaks within a story, that speech should start on a new line. This makes stories easier to read. For example:
Incorrect:
Captain Jody shook his head. "I can't allow you to do that," he said. "What do you mean?" Asked Dante, "we have to fire the cannons or they will gain on us." "He's right, captain," said Alex. Jody scratched at his beard. "Very well then."

Colour
Some players like to colour their character's speech. We tend to discouraged this, however, it is not against the rules. Please refrain from using brightly coloured text, or shades which may clash with existing forum templates (see light and dark).
Banners and Signatures
Players are permitted to use a banner in their Character Sheet and a Signature on the board displaying their character or related content. Some players prefer to use their signature to display recent character wounds, existing scars and recognisable character traits. You are free to use either or, just be sure to follow the size rules posted above.
