A player contract is a document that is supposed to signify an understanding between the heralds and their players. The player contract details what can be expected of players, storytellers, and of the game itself. Last Hope strives to stand apart from it’s counter parts in american culture, and as such, sometimes it can be hard to know what games will be like, or what a player will need to do. When you sign a player contract, a herald will sit down with you and discuss any questions you might have about the game, and what the rules mean.
Without telling our players how they are expected to act, how can we hope for you to act how we expect? A player contract is a two way agreement. We as heralds are committed to crafting a certain kind of story and setting for you to play in, and we expect that players treat this with respect.
When you finish a contract, you will know what kind of game you are playing in-it’s themes and settings, what is appropriate conduct and appearance, as well as what you can expect to treated like. A player contract is not meant to exclude anyone, but to merely make sure that everyone is on the same page before playing. If you have any questions of concerns, please feel free to address them to any of the herald staff!
