Hello, and thank you for responding! I will make an over all reply addressing issues from the various comments, but will reply individually as well.
Everland currently has one short story out, and one novel in beta draft, which I have been given access to. The author has given permission for this game to run and is an approachable resource for world building. (There are limits on the canon characters and a few smaller locations, but nothing restrictive for DWRP) Knowledge of the source story is not required to play or to mod, especially not the unpublished novel! I only put that in so that there was transparency over the ownership of the base world.
As to PG and G ratings, I see multiple questions on that topic and will do a catchall response in addition to this as I said above. This is all addressed/will be addressed in the still WIP FAQ/Rules section. In the areas where the border between PG and PG-13 is grey and unclear, it will mostly fall to player consent. If all players in the scene are okay with a little more violence that would be fine. The restrictions, as spelled out in the rules are basically: swearing should be censored. Romantic scenes that include getting undressed or anything not PG acceptable should be FTB. Violence is okay so long as all players are okay with it, but extreme violence is not. (So someone gets stabbed, fine if all players are fine with it, someone getting mutilated slowly/tortured is not), bloodshed and death will be allowable as long as there are CW or TWs in the subject line, but graphic descriptions of the wounds would not be.
I am willing to take on the lions share of the NPCing, and will set the co-mods requirements for it based on their comfort level. At least one or two is what I would like, but if that is a hard no for someone who otherwise wants to help then we can work around that and I'll just shoulder more of the NPCing. A lot of this is vague because it comes down to the comfort levels of my fellow mods. I don't want to set anything in stone that would turn away someone who would have a fantastic time helping with this setting!
Thank you again for your reply and questions, I look forward to hearing from you again if you respond!
