The pure basis of this game--and yeah, this is a game--is 'fantasy'. Novel concept, right? Not entirely. Let's explore this, shall we?With this actually being 'fantasy', inspiration comes from the imagination. Another novel thought? Maybe, but hell, that's another thread altogether. The rules, boys and girls, that are to be followed are described in length in the CoC. What we do in ISRP is derived from DnD mostly, but not played to the strict guidelines as though you were to play as a LARP, tabletop, whatever. Yes, some of the same rules apply, but not all. Hence, the term 'freeform'. Not aware of the term? Here's the nutshell version: You do not have to strictly adhere to the Player's Handbook, DMG, etc to play here. Your imagination is allowed to contribute, people!As far as the resurrections go, who in the hell is gonna sit here and recite every last ounce of a true res spell? Also, not many people here go into the minute detail of spells and such because of time constraints. So, for timely game play, the spells are minimized into what they've become. Keep RL things in mind during this, it may be relevant. Then, there are those of us that run multiple characters at once. I'm not talking one or two...I'm talking five or six plus at once. Kinda hard to be proper running that many for x amount of storylines.And as for people wanting to keep their characters, well duh! Who wouldn't, unless they were bored with them? And reason enough may come from player's/players' desires, storyline, etc. There's too much going into these things, especially when some characters are in high demand. Anyway, the whole point is to have fun, not turn a bunch of people into RP Neo-Nazis.</blockquote>
