Player Submissions

Welcome to the Player Submissions guide! Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about contributing to the lore and story of New Ognos. There’s a lot of room for creativity in Kinship—whether you have a fully formed idea or just a small detail you'd like to add, your contributions are welcome!

Submissions

When it comes to worldbuilding, our goal is to provide players with a structured but flexible environment that they can use as a "jumping off point" for their own ideas!

Players can submit ideas to the site through a variety of means:

1. Submit an Idea Anonymously: Use our FAQ Form to make a suggestion; you can include as much or as little information as you like and we'll see what we can do to make it happen.
2. Open a Discussion with Support: Contact us in your private support channel to discuss your idea; we'll work together with you to find how it best suits our site.
3. Fully Formed Ideas: Submit ideas via on-site database forms (listed below) and earn 25c for your contribution! Support is automatically notified when the forms are used; we will review and either approve or discuss needed changes with you.
4. Flesh Out Pre-Existing Content: Suggest updates to items listed under "Admin" in the database freely through options #1 or #2. You can also contact other players if you have ideas or questions about their submissions!

Ownership

• Aside from any changes needed for lore consistency or game balancing, players will typically maintain full control over their creations. For example, if you submit an NPC family, you will have final say in any changes made to that family. Anyone wishing to adopt a character from your NPC family will need your permission unless you indicate otherwise.
• Please note that by contributing to the lore, you also agree that your submissions may be used in events or community activities. For example, if you create a domestic animal, we may feature it in a farming event or storyline to enrich the shared experience of New Ognos. While we strive to respect your original vision, some creative liberties may be taken if needed for ongoing world events or plots.
• In the event that a player quits or becomes inactive, we reserve the right to use their submissions to maintain continuity and ensure the lore remains cohesive for other players.
