Death Before Dishonor!    Game Rules    Chapter I: An Arrival in Paris      Joining Death Before Dishonor!

Players who wish to join Death Before Dishonor! may do so quickly by following the directions on this page. We do our very best to respond quickly to questions or requests, but apologizein advance for unforeseen delays.

• First, you will need a World Anvil account. This is free. Higher paid tiers for World Anvil have no effect on this game.
• Second, email the referee at dbdboss at yahoo dot com to request a character. Adding "DBD" to the subject line will ensure your email will be seen and responded to. You will be supplied with three pregenerated characters. Simply respond with your selection and an appropriate character name, accept the invitation to the full site, and you will begin the game as a newcomer to Paris during the next turn.
• Now it is time to link the character to the game. This is done by creating a character page in World Anvil. When you log in, you are at the Dashboard. Along the top (under the Welcome message) you will see "News, Your Campaigns, Your RPG Characters..." and so on. Create a profile for your character -- really, only the name is absolutely necessary -- and then you can join the game.
• Bookmark this site. All updates and publications related to DBD will be linked from here.
• Post a character introduction on the discussion boards. The Pestilential Pothouse is for introductions and public in-character posts.
• Consider fleshing out the page for your character. It's nice to stimulate roleplay, but wholly optional.
• Familiarize yourself with the Campaign House Rules to help maintain a positive community, and
• Welcome to Paris!

Please Note: Characters are linked to email accounts, so be sure which account you wish to use and be consistent. Orders or requests from an email address not linked to that character will be ignored.
Also Note: Should your character request arrive during a period of turn adjudication, you are requested to be patient. All character generation requests will automatically be "bumped" in favor of the adjudication of the current turn. You will receive your character sheet early enough to participate in the following turn. Thank you for your understanding!
