general game rules rented is a city-based pb gpsl set in new york city. characters can reside in any one of the five boroughs. our goal in creating this gpsl is to encourage meaningful interaction among members and to develop characters without the pressures of external judgment. we are looking for unique characters from multiple backgrounds. as a community, we hope to encourage creative updating concepts. we are currently also accepting semi-faux-celeb characters with no credit claims. semi-famous writers, podcasters, youtubers, artists, chefs, musicians, struggling stage actors, etc, may apply. we encourage you to create your character's "content" originally. develop their podcast concept, book, screenplay, plays, comedy style and share it! as always, the ic/ooc line is enforced. we encourage ooc discussion amongst yourselves if conflicts should arise, but we have a zero tolerance harassment policy.

applications all journals must be in character. please apply with a solid fact-list about your character, or a biography of a few paragraphs. we're not asking for a novel, but a clear character concept is important to us! no examples necessary. we base acceptance on the clarity of writing in your character bio, and the presence of a strong character concept. after the first round of adds, your character must have a connection to a current in-game character to join.

activity requirements we currently require one effortful update per month, but we encourage as many updates as you like. we also encourage updates that leave comments open for interaction's sake. please comment liberally. discord use is welcomed, but not mandatory. removals will be done at the end of each month. if you were accepted after the 20th of the month, you will be up for removal if you have not posted an entry by the end of the following month.

reach out! we realize some of these rules and concepts are new and we encourage you to comment the dropbox with any questions you may have! thanks for applying, and happy writing!
