All Players must have reached the age of majority (18+ in most places) to play on Book of Tomorrow and have legal control over their persons, actions and decisions.

Furthermore, all Characters must be 18 or older.

While the game is not focused on “adult” situations, what some people consider “adult”, others do not. We don’t want there to be any questions or grey areas when it comes to dealing with the subject of minors, be it on the Player or the Character side.
