This page will eventually have more comprehensive guidelines for player storytelling in the Umbra. In the meantime, there are a few basics:

• Stories that involve traveling to the Spirit Wilds and the Middle Umbra do not require any special review or approval for the Shifter or Mage spheres, unless they would otherwise exceed the general guidelines for Storytelling.
• Stories that involve traveling to the Astral Plane or the Shadowlands do not require any special review or approval for the Mage sphere, unless they would otherwise exceed the general guidelines.
• Any stories involving travel to Near Horizon, to the Near Umbra, to the High Umbra, or to the Underworld require either prior staff approval, a Sanctioned Storyteller, or a staff member as storyteller; as do stories involving travel to the Astral Plane or Shadowlands for non-Mage spheres, or to the Spirit Wilds and Middle Umbra for non-Mage and non-Shifter spheres.
• Any stories involving travel to the True Horizon or to the Deep Umbra require either a staff member as storyteller, or a Sanctioned Storyteller and prior staff approval.

Please remember that the Umbra is a shared resource for all players. Stories without prior staff approval should take care not to involve either threats, impacts on, or changes to the London Umbra that would be likely to draw the interest of other aware and interested parties. If you’re not sure, consult with staff ahead of time.
