The DM's Style

Improvisation vs Preparation	A lot of improv., but I'm trying to improve.
Rules flexibility.	By default, rules as intended. If I state a change in rules, it stays so until I change it back
Roaming availability.	Possible unless it is abused.
Experience/Reward distribution.	Experienced is replaced by milestones, meaning I tell you when you level up. There is the possibility of acquiring "Free Levels" thanks to rp factors, which don't count toward your maximum level cap
Expectation of consequences.	Yes, your actions have consequences.
Balance changes.	I adapt combats in real time, but that does not mean it will be easier...
Homebrew material.	You can always ask me and maybe I will allow it, sometimes with some modifications.
Restrictions.	Despite my efforts, I am no good at romantic interactions and NSFW content is... inexistant most of the time. You can do it, but don't expect me to narrate you erotica.

In-Game Topics

Disruptive topics or actions.	Torture, rape, developped sexuality, horror.
Metagaming (=Using Out-of-Character(OoC) knowledge to make In-Game(IG) decisions)	Strictly forbidden. But you need to remember that your characters have had a life and therefore knowledge and experience.
Rules debates.	I'm the captain of this ship, and although I shall hear you, I'm the one who has the final say.
Handling problematic situations.	Same thing as above.
Character deaths.	You are dead. It shouldn't happen often, but if you ded, you ded. Remember that resurrection exists.
Player vs Player situations and problems (IG)	You can fight, but if I have to use a deus ex machina to raise half the party because you were drunk on power, you are gonna suffer the consequences.
In-Game house rules.	Additional weapons abilities Mixed spells Guilds levels Stackable inspiration Gem magic Rune magic Emergency magic Other house rules will be added later on.

Out-of-Game Topics

Disruptive topics or situations.	Same as above.
Required session equipment.	Happiness and willingness to play. A set of dice is nice but not obligatory.
Alcohol and drugs.	No drugs, alcohol ok if handled correctly.
Mobile phone use and distractions during play.	No phone, no distractions even if bored (I can have computer, players can search their spells if necessary)
Commitment.	If you say you come, you come. If you didn’t say anything, that’s okay During the session, don’t go do something else just because it’s not your turn, or I’ll f you up !
Player absences.	No problem
Snacks.	Still the best way to befriend/bribe the DM (but please announce it before comming.
Out-of-game house rules.	Added if necessary.
