Campaign Rules

Feyworld is a fantasy campaign that tends towards the realistic (cinematic rules from GURPS are not used). The intent is to provide a setting that encourages verisimilitude and focuses on the players' characters storylines. Basically, the game is intended to be a 'sandbox' where players can play the characters they want to play and make the choices those characters would make... though there will be a defined 'starting place' for the game, the campaign is driven by the decisions players make for their characters. If the group decides to reside in a city and focus on adventures to be had there, that's what the game will be about... if they want to grab a ship and become pirates, find ancient ruins and dungeons to explore or just pick a direction and start riding that way, the game will support that.
