Who is the DM and how do I find them?
Bzorch actually has a DM team that works together to ensure that the game is fun for all the players and moves ahead smoothly. Karen takes care of enrolling players, and is available for all the character development questions that arise during the game. Susan is their sidekick and fellow roleplaying addict. She is also the owner/adminstrator of the Bzorch.ca server. If you have questions regarding the history of the game, or background into a particular incident, contact her. Michael is our resident programmer, he designed the turn and character creation software you'll be using and will be handling turn processing.
We use D&D 3.5 edition rules and the BRCS play test. Also, see the rules section of the forum for additional rulings.
The DM posts each due date on the forum, each are approximately once per month.
How long in game time is each Turn?
Each turn lasts for one season of in game time, or three months.
How do I submit my Character Sheet and Turns?
Bzorch Games is run via online programs. Character creation and Turn submission links will be posted on the forum. This allows the DM team to take your data and load it directly to the Database for improved tracking and turn processing. If you have any questions about how to use the online forms, just email DM Michael
How do I create my characters?
Please read the Rules Forum. Our few house rules and basic character correction are there. If you have specific questions, you may email Susan.
Also Feel free to use the following tools. Hyperlinked BRCS and Bzorch's Mini SRD
Read the Rules forum for all the answers.
What is the magic environment in Anuire? Can I buy a wish, limited wish, or a miracle?
Birthright is a very low magic world. Items of magical essence are rare and expensive, and such powerful spells as Wish, miracle, limited wish etc are not available at all. Wizards themselves are rare and considered to be somewhat of an unknown quality.
Can my regent die? If so, can I buy a Resurrect, Reincarnate or Raise Dead spell?
Yes, any of your characters
including your Regent can die.
Assassination, random events and adventures can all snuff out your Regent's
life. It is very important to have an heir declared for this reason, or else
you will be looking for a new realm to govern. Birthright is a very low magic
world. As with Wish, Miracle and Limited Wish, the spells that resurrect the
dead are not available in this world. So Death is as final in this fantasy realm
as it is in our own. Any attempts to convince the DM team otherwise may result
in a tragic bzorching incident.
Can I get pregnant? Can I get another character pregnant?
The DM team aims for a certain level of realism, including consequences to your characters actions. This includes the risk of pregnancy and disesase should your character choose to become sexually active. These are not modern times, and there was very little that could be done to prevent conception. The DM will determine via dice rolls if you have hit the baby jackpot. The Anuirean Birth Registry will be happy to provide you with your due date.
How do Bloodlines and Blood powers work?
Bloodlines and Blood powers are detailed in the Rules Section of the Forum. Please read this section before chosing your blood powers. Also, please remember that you are limited by your bloodline as to what powers you can take. i.e. If you are a major, you cannot take a Great level power.
Nope. Not a chance. Forget it. When pigs fly. Nuh uh. And in case we weren't clear? Hell No.
What is this "Bzorching" I have hear of in this FAQ?
Bzorching is a term used to indicate that the DM has become annoyed or irritated by your questions or attitude and is preparing to evoke the dreaded Bzorch spell that renders you in grave danger with the DM team. We like it so much, we bought the domain name. :D
