F.A.Q
What is this game about?We are an adult master/slave gpsl set in the city of Devner, Colorado.
This gpsl will most likely include adult themes so player discretion is advised.
What do you mean adult themes?
While we are not a smut gpsl we do realize that mature themes including but not limited to: violence, mature language, sexual situations, drug abuse, etc, will occur. We ask that our players be at least eighteen (18) years old to apply.
What is a Dominus/Domina?
Dominus (male)/Domina (female) translates to Master/Owner in Latin. It is a (usually wealthy) person who has agreed to incur ownership of a contract of a Servus in exchange for services rendered.
The Dominus/Domina is responsible for the care or well-being of the Servus in their care, though how they treat them is to be discussed between players.
What is a Servus?
Servus translates slave/servant/bondsman in Latin. They are indentured via contract to their owners (Dominus) for a set amount of time, be it for one day or a number of years. The terms of this contract should be discussed OOCly between players as well as any changes that may occur.
How does a Servus become owned?
Good question! There are many different ways a person could have found themselves in the dire position of Servus, typically a person is placed into that assigned position by the government upon birth by both parents being of the servus class. However, a person found guilty of severe criminal activity can be reclassified by the government into the servus class.
What limitations are there in regards to what a Domina/Dominus can do to a Servus?
IC limits are set by contracts discussed between players. We cannot stress this enough, let your limits be known OOC.
Do not maim, disfigure, or kill someone else’s character without expressed permission. And do remember that IC actions do have IC consequences.
We do ask to be notified of an impending death before hand.
What do the contracts entail?
That is completely between players. Typically a person is indentured for pay for their families or debts that cannot repay monetarily.
While contracts are stereotypically mundane they can, and sometimes do, include sexual and/or violent aspects. Again this should be discussed between players.
What positions can be played?
As of this moment you can play whatever your heart desires. We do reserve the right however to cap certain positions to keep the gpsl as even as possible.
What are my PB choices?
PB choices are yours to make. We do ask that the PB look the age they play. Anyone under the age of 18 cannot be actively played and must be used as a NPC.
What are Auctions and where are they held?
Auctions are where the wealthy come to buy the contracts of servants who have yet to find employment (households). Highest bid wins as always, though sometimes backdoor deals are made to secure a servant before they ever go onto the auction block.
The auctions take place in Denver at the auction house, and are part of the gpsl plot. Aside from adds/removals, activity checks, and social gatherings it's one of the only times you will “hear” from us as moderators.
Have a question and it's not here?
