Code of Conduct

1. You must be 18 or older. firebo.lt is for adults. If you're under 18, please don't register or use the platform.
2. Keep it legal. Don't post anything that's illegal under the jurisdictions of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, or Finland.
3. Post in a supported language. Listings must be written in Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Finnish, or English. This keeps content readable for the community and for moderation.
4. No borrowed profanity. Russian profanity/swear words and their derivatives are not allowed — including shorthand, transliterations, and lightly disguised spellings. Keep listings and reviews clean.
5. No explicit content in listings — but content warnings are welcome. Don't write out explicit sexual or graphic descriptions in your listings, or profile. You may, however, advertise that a game contains mature or explicit content (for example, "this campaign includes graphic violence and adult themes"), so players can decide whether it's for them.
6. No promoting commercial conventions in the regular listings. Organized TTRPG events and conventions shall not be advertised through the standard game listings. A dedicated tool for event organizers is planned — until then, please don't post event promotion into the main listing flow.

What firebo.lt Doesn't Govern

firebo.lt connects players and Game Masters. It does not referee what happens after that. We don't govern:

• interpersonal relationships between players and GMs,
• the rules you play by at the table,
• or conduct within a group once it has formed.

Those are between you and the people you sit down with.

Art Commission Scams

Beware of art commission scams. Game listings that require purchasing art commissions, character tokens, or any other products or services from the GM or affiliated parties as a condition of joining are not allowed. This is a known scam operating on other platforms: a listing advertises a free game, but once you apply, you're told you must buy a "character token" or "art commission" from an artist affiliated with the GM. The campaign is usually fake. Do not transfer money for such requests. If you encounter this on firebo.lt, report it immediately via the contact form or message Flavius directly.

Hosting a Game

Any registered user can post a listing for a game they're running and let players come to them.

Set the basics. Pick your system, language, format, and how many seats you've got. If the game happens in person, you'll need to pin an approximate location on the map — players weigh up travel before they commit, so this helps them decide whether your table is convenient. Descriptions support Markdown formatting — bullet lists, bold text, tables, and more.

Date and time are optional at first. You don't have to lock a slot when you post. Plenty of GMs wait until enough players have gathered, then work out a time that suits everyone and add it by editing the listing later. Whatever time you set has to follow a few rules: it can't be in the past, it must be at least two hours in the future at the moment you save, and it cannot be 6 months farther into the future from the listing's creation date. The listings without game date and time set get closed after six months automatically.

Managing requests. When someone asks to join, you can accept or reject them. The accepted list is public, so anyone viewing the listing can see who's in. You're not locked into your choices: an accepted player can be rejected later, and players can withdraw on their own — at least until the 24-hour lock kicks in (more on that below).

One listing per game. Post a single listing for each game you run. A long-term campaign only needs one. If you later need fresh players for that same ongoing campaign, you can post again — but only once the previous listing for that campaign has ended.

After the game. Once the declared game time passes, the listing goes inactive and drops out of the public Browse Games field. You don't lose it: you and your accepted players can still open it under My Games to view it or leave reviews.

Joining a Game

Found something that catches your eye? Here's how to get a seat.

1. Hit Join Game on the listing.
2. Message the GM — through the site's messaging system, or any other channel they've listed — to talk through the game.
3. Wait for the GM to approve you.

You can withdraw your request at any point, even after you've been accepted — right up until the 24-hour lock. After that, you're committed.

The 24-Hour Lock

From 24 hours before the declared game time, the roster locks for withdrawals. Neither players nor the GM can pull out after that point. (The GM can still accept new players right up to game time — the lock is only on backing out.)

The point is accountability, on both sides. If you're on the accepted list and you don't turn up, you stay on that list — which means you're fair game for a "doesn't show up" tag as a player, or a "cancels last minute" tag as a GM. The lock exists so a table that's counting on you isn't left scrambling the night before.

Reviews

Two hours after the declared game time, a review window opens. GMs can review their players, and players can review the GM and each other. The window stays open until three days after the declared time, then closes.

Reviews are tag-based — no star ratings, no written paragraphs. You simply pick up to three predefined tags that best capture the person you're reviewing. The tags you've received, and how many times each, are shown on your public profile, so people can see at a glance who they're sitting down with.

You can review the same person more than once over time, but only once per listing. For example, if you join a GM's game, you can review them once afterward. If that same GM later posts a different game and you join again, you can review them once more.

Neither GM nor players can see who exactly left a particular tag as a review for them.

firebo.lt won't arbitrate individual personal reviews. However, it will take action in cases of review manipulation, such as review farming, or coordinated or repeated efforts to unjustly discredit an individual through negative reviews.
