So, a word on how this game will work, since it's a little different from what you may be used to.
Basically, my control over your character's story starts and ends exactly where you want it to. You'll all start your characters off however you choose (the Journey section of the CS was meant to help with this), and with each of your posts you can progress them as far as you'd like. I'm a big fan of glossing over boring details, so say if you are on march with your troops, you don't have to dedicate a million and a half posts to actually marching around with them. NPCs and plot elements are by and large yours to control, though with the latter, you may want to consult with me to get a better of idea of how to use them to push your story forward. My posts will exist to add or relieve conflict, ambiguity, mystery, etc. In essence, I "play" the setting, and will personally contribute as much as you allow me to.
Does this make sense to everyone? Feel free to gander at the
original Age of Dawn thread to see what the playing was like if you don't understand.
