If you are familiar with what TRPGs are already, then great! All you will need to become adjusted to is MazeWorld's dice and play system, as it was custom-designed for this game rather than adapted from an existing format.
But whether If you're new, worry not! Throughout the many years this game was run and being written, countless players with no prior experience jumped in. It is entirely possible to learn and become good at playing MazeWorld without ever having played another TRPG before - all that may be required is to have a little more patience! Whether or not you're new to TRPGs, you're very much still in good company. This wiki is here to help and guide you- new players and seasoned players alike! Specifically, the this ''Getting Started' category of pages have ' 4-page guide, has been written with the express purpose of teaching you about the basics of the game, and how to play it, how to be create a Game Master (GM) new character for it, and how . The rest of the wiki is here to get a feel teach you about everything else in-depth; but don't worry about any of that for now. The best way to be introduced to MzW is to jump right in! In the unique world spirit of that, keep reading, and by the Mazesend of these four pages, you should have a character sheet ready to play, or at least, know exactly how to make one.
= Who is this game for? =
* '''You are patient''' (This project has begun life in February of 2011, and the completion of this wiki will likely take quite a while)
* You are familiar with ''Touhou Project'' (the concept of youkai and youkai species, in particular)
* You have played roguelikes other tabletop RPGs before* You have played ''roguelike'' video games before
Content advisory; This game contains, or approaches the following themes:
* Mild adult themes
* Drug and substance use
* Fantastic [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FantasticRacism Fantasy racism/Speciesism]
If none of this has scared you away yet, then keep on reading!
* The '''Maze Police''' was established to be the 'interior threat' counterpart to the Military; they created a standard set of laws and rules, unimaginatively known as Standard Law. All towns have the possibility to request coverage and protection from the Maze Police; to get the Police's protection, security, and processing of wrongdoers and lawbreakers, all they have to do is agree to implement Standard Law into their communities. Not all communities have agreed to do so (they are referred to as independent towns), and certain openly wage war on these rules...
* ...particularly the '''Yatela Crime Family''', the biggest organized crime group in the Mazes. So powerful and influent, that they are synonymous with all but the most petty of crimes, and why when one thinks of an '''Outlaw''', they think of a Yatela crime family member. Sharply (- if stereotypically) - dressed , and in control of several communities, where only their authority and iron fist mattersmatter, they are not only opposed to Standard Law, but to anything that may be a threat to their activities, legal or less legal; prostitution, pornography, racketeering, extortion, theft and black markets, murder, contract killing...
* On the matters of faith and religion, the '''Angelics''' (and the entity under which they are organized: '''Heaven, Ltd''') and the '''Demonics''' ('''Hell, Inc.''') are fiercely opposed, each having their own ideas and sets of values with which to influence the people of the Mazes (as well as their own collection of creatures and reasons to wage war to one another.) The Angelics preach for values such as loyalty, moderation, chastity, order, and general virtues, whereas the Demonics insist that natural urges, sexual freedom, greed, and competition are not only normal, but the only valid way to live one's life.
Those two bots, a Discord server to invite them on, a GM with knowledge of the game (which is provided to you in this very wiki) and at least one player: Those are the minimum requirements for playing MazeWorld.
It is not necessary to join '''[https://discord.gg/sB2UFKg our server]''' in order to play, though you're still encouraged to do so; we always welcome new people, we will answer your questions about the game, and we're a cool bunch to chill out with., so why not come in?
