Rule Zero

The central point of the Tarnished Tale RPG system, or its "Rule Zero", can be stated as the following:

The purpose of the game is for the players to work toogether to have the most fun possible, as they collectively define it.

This is intended to emphasize a variety of salient and important parts about TTRPG play in general, namely that:

• No one player (including the Facilitator) is "in charge" of a session, episode, chapter, or campaign;
• Wherever possible, effort should be maximized such that all players participating in the game feel included in it, and;
• In accordance with all other accessibility guidance, no players should ever feel excluded (unless they have been excluded from the game for safety reasons).
