Role Guidelines

From Barbarians of Gor

Certain roles on Gor are restricted to experienced players and main characters. In the pursuit of cultivating the Gorean community which has been established on this server and the dedication to preservation of the Gorean theme, we have established a list of roles which will require either a serious amount of time dedicated to the role specifically or great deal of familiarity and experience with Gor and Gorean roleplay.

This is a work in process. There is a lot to organize and discuss.
