All Of The Lights is a place where you can play Polaris (and possibly other derivative games) in a play-by-post manner.
Polaris core rules can be found here, or here, if you wish to support the creator.
Rule 1: Be true in word and deed. Don't be an asshole.
Rule 2: Refrain from the wanton giving of offense. Don't push the players' buttons, push the characters' buttons. That means you, Mistaken players.
Rule 3: Be courteous at all times. If you're not contributing, don't post. Don't put links without comments, don't "+1" threads, don't do that stuff.
Rule 4: Eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit. Don't post illegal stuff. Don't ask other folks to break laws. That's bad.
Rule 5: Despise pecuniary reward. Moons, please don't conspire with Hearts. That's bad sportsmanship.
Rule 6: Serve the liege lord in faith. If you wish to start an adventure, please post in the signup page.
Rule 7: Persevere to the end in any enterprise begun. If you can, try and post every day. If you're waiting for someone else to make a move, post somewhere else, like the General Discussion board; then we know you're still around.
Rule 8: Live by honor and for glory. Laugh, cry, scream, shout, etcetera. Have fun.
The Fifth Theme. In addition to the standard character creation rules, you may choose a fifth theme for Office, Blessing, or Ability. Alternatively, you may switch your Blessing for a different one.
Theme Creation. You are free to create any Theme you wish (and you should), so long as you come up with at least three ways it can help you, and three ways it will hinder you.
Snazzy Titles. Every Heart must come up with their own title for their adventure.
Crossovers. Try not to put protagonists from other adventures in Full Moon, New Moon, or even Mistaken columns. Your story is your own, and having to follow someone else's adventure makes things inconvenient for everyone. Also, we’re not bands of adventurers.
Altered Dice Duties. Dice is not rolled by the Heart. Dice is rolled by the Moons; the Full Moon rolls the Conflict, the New Moon rolls Experience. You may wish to prove that you rolled, either by going here, rolling this random number generator, taking a quick screenshot, and posting the result. OR roll an actual tangible dice on your table, take a picture, and show us.
Immersion. Feel free to change your profile, your avatar, and whatever else to get into the spirit of the game. Just don't change your username. It's harder to keep track that way.
Normal narration must have no extra formatting.
In-character speech must have quote-marks.
Out-of-character comments must be made in italics and bracketed.
In-character thoughts, telepathy, or inhuman speech must have quote-marks and italics.
Conflict key phrases must be bolded.
Changes in values, themes, and the Cosmos must be made in all-capital letters, emboldened and boxed.
