GMs and NPCs

“Do not worry, your injury does not prevent you from praying. The gesture is merely traditional. Simply address us aloud by name, and we will hear.”
—St. Viktor, April 251

This page lists who the GMs are and which NPCs each of us is playing. We will try to keep it updated as the game goes on, but may forget.

Contacting GMs and NPCs

If you want to contact the GM team out of character, you can email us at gm@conviction.oxfordrpg.com. This is the only game email address you'll be able to contact until you have an account set up (after character creation). If you want to contact a particular GM, each of us also has an individual email address listed below. This is to get the attention of that GM (we will be receiving an awful lot of emails), but all the other GMs will still be able to see it as usual.

Assuming we remember to add them, most major NPCs should have individual email addresses that you can use to contact them. You can find these either on the wiki pages where they're introduced, on this page, or by receiving emails from them. If you want to contact an NPC who doesn't have an address set up, just email their GM (or the whole team if you don't know who that is), including [FAO their name] in the subject.

Joining the GMs

As you may have noticed, there are not very many of us, and we're hoping to get quite a lot of players. Although it is not ideal to be doing this, we're keeping it open for more GMs to join right up until the character submission deadline. If we don't have enough GMs for the number of players who request to join, we will have to turn down some of the players, which we'd rather not have to do. If you would like to get involved as a GM, please email us as soon as possible so we can get you caught up on all the behind-the-scenes parts of the game. You may also indicate as part of your character submission that you would like to get involved as a GM only if you don't get in as a player. We would suggest that only people who have at least played a society game before apply to GM, so that they at least have a good idea what to expect out of the format.
