 One important thing to be aware of first: You don't need to read this entire website! There is always more world building to be done than any one person can hope to read. What we are looking to do is to create at least one area that interests you. If you can find it, then fantastic! It is okay to act like a magpie and skim until you find something shiny: knowing the setting inside and out is the GMs' job, not yours. One important thing to be aware of first: You don't need to read this entire website!

 Every Tuesday, during termtime players meet in a room in [[where_and_when|St Hilda'​s College]]. These meetings represent the gatherings of those favoured by the Queen; players represent the attendees at these gatherings, discussing with their peers, plotting, scheming, flirting, or otherwise having a good time. During these meetings, players exchange news, meet with other influential figues, to discuss the latest affairs and prepare for the challenges ahead. The GMs will be on hand to offer help, advice, information and to keep the game running smoothly, as well as playing various NPCs every week. Every Tuesday, during termtime players meet in a room in [[where_and_when|St Hilda'​s College]].

 There is a system for these Turnsheet actions, detailed [[turnsheets|here]] - but don't feel you need to memorise it all; we're more than happy to help you out if you're having trouble working out what you want to do in the early weeks! There is a system for these Turnsheet actions, detailed [[turnsheets|here]] - but don't feel you need to memorise it all; we're more than happy to help you out if you're having trouble working out what you want to do in the early weeks!
