Gameplay
As major parts of the RP environment in Haven, Dreamworlds need to meet
certain requirements.
1) Dreamworlds must be able to support monster guests, that is there should
be some form of monsterous creatures or beings inside the world.
2) Dreamworlds need to have continuity, while people may not always exactly
remember things that transpire within them, things do transpire and can lead
into future events.
3) Dreamworlds must be able to support plots. Dreamworld owners do not have
to run plots in their worlds, but the world should have enough depth to
support them if they wish to.
4) Dreamworlds must have a role that can be taken by an ordinary human
character wandering into the world. i.e. Some form of new arrival role.
5) Dreamworlds must be believable realities. Generally this means they
should have some sort of history, lore, laws of physics etc which make sense
within the confines of the world and do not rely on PCs of NPCs acting in
ways that make no sense or are clearly OOCly driven.
6) Dreamworlds need to be sufficiently detailed that a new player could
start RPing in them without needing OOC help. If they rely on outside
canons, they must be common enough for any query to be answered quickly and
readily by an internet search and it should be clear what canon they are
relying upon.
7) Dreamworlds must be fully developed worlds, specifically this means they
may not be sandbox worlds in which the environment or reality changes on a
scene by scene basis, and they cannot be service worlds which are designed
around offering one-off scenes with no focus on continuity.
