    Default Rules Question - Specific type of post

    So, I'm curious to create a thread where users can voluntarily tell a brief life story and allow others to decide on what class/subclass combination fits them the best. In re-reading the rules, it doesn't appear that it would be breaking rules, but I just want to verify before creating more work for mods. (or if it sounds like it would be to inflammatory and would make more work for mods).

    I'm not a mod, but it sounds like standard "Message Board Games" subforum entry to me. Not that different from the "Grant a wish"-type thread, and several notches above the "I am Groot" thread.

    Standard rules will need to apply, of course, (so the brief life stories better not include politics or religion, must be PG-13, etc) but I see no red flags popping up.

    There is a world of imagination
    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
