Bonuses

On Tenebrae, we value our players. We are a game about getting involved within the community, and being a part of a larger whole. That said, we also offer a few incentives towards these goals. Player refers to you, of course, while a character is, well, a character.

New Player Bonuses

Are you new to Tenebrae? The following incentives are available to new players (not characters):

• Introduce Yourself: Earn 1 RPP by posting an introduction to our +bboards! We want to hear about you, and the story you're here to tell. RPPs, also known as Roleplay Points and Perks, are a custom, inhouse system that let you purchase things such as a hit die reroll, or even an odd ability or three. As a special note, please use +request/rpp to let staff know when you do. While we watch this sort of thing, there is always a chance we miss it, and we want to be sure you get your points.
• Your First Character Page: Earn 1 RPP by making your first character page! Share a few details, post a character image, and so on. RPPs, also known as Roleplay Points and Perks, are a custom, inhouse system that let you purchase things such as a hit die reroll, or even an odd ability or three. As a special note, please use +request/rpp to let staff know when you do. While we watch this sort of thing, there is always a chance we miss it, and we want to be sure you get your points.
• Then, Grab Some Free Levels by Playing: Earn a few few levels! You may choose up to 2 of the following options before Level 5:

By running your first PrP! Get to know others and try your hand at what it takes to run a scene. (+1 level)

By playing a cleric! (advances you to 3rd, the PC must primarily be of this class)

By spending 10 RPPs (advances you to 3rd, or if a cleric, to 4th)

These awards are for new players, not characters. They are a way to welcome new players to the game. Attempting to claim them as a current player is a breach of trust as well as policy. RPP spends must abide by RPP guidelines.
