My name is Ben Hille and I created the Hearm campaign and ZI and am probably responsible for a lot of the "messing around," for which I apologize, but darn it, It's addictive.
I wish to continue to remain responsible for the Hearm campaign and ZI and any of the characters I have generated as both a GM and a player.
Regarding "messing around" I created several races to serve the Hearm world and added a weapon or two in principia, including the Urumi in the Exotic category based off an Indian (continental) weapon.
I also created some characters in the Testing campaign out of fascination with the system.
Generic qustion:
Will a "player" have the authority to delete a character?
Resurrect? With GM's approval?
Cremate? With or without approval?

skills weapons and artifacts aren't totally locked down.
I get partial information in skills and weapons and the "add new artifact" page is wide open. The rest say closed.

Issues within the principia have been fixed (sorry).

Essentially there are six roles:

Anonymous (unsigned user)
Guest (default role)
Player
GM
Architect
Admin

The propose changes go something like this:

All permissions are cummulative, from Guest to Admin.

Guest can post to the main board, but that's about it.

Players can create characters and retire them to the bone yard. They can also tweek characters with exception of XP and Attributes. This would apply only to characters they have created.

GMs can create/update/delete campaigns they own, as well as modify characters within their campaign. They can pull characters from the bonyard or retire them. They can also promote a Guest to a Player. GMs can also make additions to the equipment table.

Architects are the stewards of the principia, able to make modifications to the rules structures, create classes, races and artifacts, as well asp promote Guests to either Player or GM. However they do not have dominion over other GMs campaigns

Admin can make any modification anywhere and can promote a Guest to Player, GM or Architect.
