Character roles are listed on the Shaman board, under Play. Characters can hold multiple roles simultaneously. Check the #character-roles channel on Discord to find out more about how you can obtain different roles.
There are three stages to receiving baby stats.
Conception stage: this is when the player posts for stats. When posting for stats at the conception stage, include the following:
- You must include:
- You may also want to include:
- Any items you'll be using to affect the generators at this stage. Items which can only be used at the conception stage are: Powerless/Power/Traitless/Trait Guarantee, Appearance Picker, XX/XY Chromosome, Mild/Moderate/Severe Difference Blocker, Single Baby, Unnatural Pregnancy, Orphan Child, Litter, Illuminati Abduction, Baby Coupon.
- Whether you'd like any optional extras! These are: detailed appearance, wing appearance, personality, intelligences/skills, pregnancy/childbirth details.
Check stage: this is when the support team member posts the initial set of stats on the support board. It is up to players to then check the stats and reply with the following.
- You must include:
- Babies' names
- Player(s) of offspring
- Confirmation that you are happy to proceed to the finalised stage, if you are ready to do so.
- You may also want to include:
- You can use Add Baby to add another child to the pregnancy at this stage. If you are using Add Baby, you can apply other baby generator edit items like Appearance Pickers to the new baby, but not to the one you already have stats for.
- You can use Born With Familiar to apply a randomised familiar at this stage.
- You can use Designer Baby to give yourself an alternative option.
- Optional extras (as above) can be applied at the check stage.
- Any other edits you would want to make using character additions/edits items (e.g. Database Glitch, Anti-Wing Potion), applying points/items/pets/powers/traits from bank or purchasing items/pets/powers/traits can be done at this stage.
The pregnancy remains in the check stage until the player posts confirmation that they are happy to move to the finalised stage.
and are free to kill, breed etc the character.
Finalised stage: when the player has confirmed that they are happy with the stats in the check stage, the new baby will be added to the database by a member of the support team. No additional baby generator edits can be applied at this stage. The usual edits using normal items can be applied the usual way by posting on the support board.
If you make a character "Playerless", this is an extreme option whereby you give up all rights to the character and cannot impose conditions. When adopting a "Playerless" character, you have total freedom to edit any information which is not in the database (and information which is using appropriate items), and are free to kill, breed etc the character.
If you make a character "Adoptable", you can set your own terms and conditions for adopting the character. When adopting an "Adoptable" character, you must follow the terms and conditions set by the original owner.
If you need to submit any updates (e.g. member updates or claiming freebies) post them here. Update posts are occasionally skipped for a variety of reasons (database hosting site is down, forgotten passwords etc), none of which are personal. If this happens to you and your post has been pushed down the board, please re-post it or prod a member of the support team!
When freebies, rewards and prizes are posted, these are not updated automatically unless otherwise stated. It is up to players to claim these on the support board. The time limit for claiming freebies, rewards and prizes is one month from the date it was posted, unless otherwise stated for specific events. Players will not be able to claim the freebie, reward or prize outside of that deadline.
Players may request up to two for-prize prompt threads per real life month. To request a for-prize prompt thread, make a post on this board with details about the kind of prize and prompt/scenario/catalyst you are looking for and indicate that this is a for-prize prompt, ideally in the subject line of your post. You could, for example, request:
- A specific kind of catalyst or scenario, such as a fight, quest or job.
- A specific kind of prize, such as doubloons, points, powers or items.
- Something tailored to a specific character.
Please note that there is
no guarantee that you will be given what you're asked for; you are simply expressing preference.
A member of the support team will then reply to your post with a prompt for you to complete. When you have completed it, you can request an additional prompt (up to 5 prompts may be given per thread) or choose to end the thread and ask for your prize. You can put your IC posts on any board you like.
Players can also request writing prompts with no prize attached at any time. You can request as many of these as you like.
Please do not leave suggestions or feedback on public boards or channels on the Discord server. Use the contact form on the contact page or DM a member of the support team directly. :)

BackLeadership of Shaman vacancy - applications
posted by Aspelta on Aug 18, 2022
Edit Post
Merly has decided to take a hiatus, so her royals are no longer in play. ICly, during the battle against Gwythr and the Alliance, the Arthurian royal family vanished. One moment they were among the others in the battle, and the next – gone. There is a temporary vacuum while the Privy Council and senior government administrators try to figure out what to do with no apparent heir. During the power vacuum, criminals and pirates may use the opportunity and their newfound immortality to cause problems.
This means there is a vacancy for a new royal family/governance of Shaman role.
We are opening applications for the new role as leader of Shaman. Here is how it will work. Please read the following information very carefully.
- Players interested in holding the position of leader can submit an application by replying to this post.
- The primary thing players will need to conceive of and submit is a plot which elevates a character(s) to the leadership position. This can be as simple or as complex as you like.
- The term ‘leader’ is used, because this is also an opportunity for revolution. When applying, you can have as your plot a continuity of monarchy on Shaman. Alternatively, you might want to submit a different leadership style – such as a Lord Protector, a Council of Elders, a democratically elected leader, multiple rival leaders, etc.
- You can team up with other players to submit plots where multiple characters assume the leadership role, for example if you go with a king & queen, or a council or congress/parliament, or even splitting Shaman into multiple rival kingdoms, etc.
- You can also submit an application which leaves blanks. For example you might submit for a Council of Elders style of government, with five slots on the council, but you only taking one with one of your characters and the other four vacant. You can even submit a plot with none of your characters in the top job if you have any idea for how Shaman could be governed but you don’t want to govern it yourself.
- Flexibility with how this is played out is essential, and there is room for the Arthurian royal family to return in the future and challenge other rulers for their position back.
- Players can submit multiple plot ideas/applications. Please submit applications in separate posts below, instead of joining them all into one.
- You can submit characters into plots who already exist on the game, or you can invent new characters for the roles.
- If you are inventing new characters for roles, you have freedom to create the characters without the usual joining limitations (e.g. higher level, pre-existing powers). These characters will be considered along with the rest of your application.
- You may be asked to adapt your application before or after it is chosen, for example if you have created a new character for a role which is unnecessarily OP’d.
- New players, old players and returning players are all welcome to submit applications and ideas, regardless of activity levels or length of time on the site.
- Players have one month to submit applications. During the interim, there will be a power vacuum on Shaman and the country will be governed by existing government members, such as the Privy Council and other professionals within the Castle. If you play any of those characters you can play them as if they are assisting in running the country. If you don't have any characters currently in those roles but want to be involved, drop me a message.
- After one month, applications will open to an advisory AV vote among all players. Players will be asked to rank their favourite plot ideas/applications by secret ballot. This vote will be used to inform which plot we go with, but the final decision rests with Aspelta.
Application closing date: Sunday 18th September at midnight your time
Please fill out the form below to apply!
Players involved: Which players would be involved in this plot?
Characters involved: Which characters are involved in your application/idea? This can be just one or multiple. Will there be any 'blanks'/vacancies in key roles for others to fill in later?
Government setup: What will the names of the roles be? How will the ‘Shaman’ page look in the section which currently is headed ‘royals’? E.g. Monarch, Council, Lord Protector, President, Emperor, Congress, etc. Please also include if there will be a single government or if Shaman will be devolved into multiple governments in different regions.
Plot idea: Describe your plot idea for how we will transition from the existing power vacuum to your new government setup. This can be as simple or as complex as you like.
New characters (if applicable): If you are creating new characters for roles, include what their join form would look like below.
