Play Tips

1. Think of your PC as a character in a drama. Even flaws and low attributes can be interesting; Cersei Lannister for instance probably has below average STR & WIS, average CON and INT, and fairly high only in CHA, but is still a powerful character. Tyrion Lannister has low STR, DEX and CHA (even though personable - his chances of persuading anyone or inspiring loyalty are hampered by his dwarfism), average CON, reasonable WIS and high INT.
2. You can make 'informed assumptions' that add facts to the setting. The GM won't negate these unless they negate established facts - occasionally something may be established off-stage but not shown in play, but this will be rare. GM may say "Yes, you *think* that...", though. >:)
3. In pursuing their goals, PCs may conflict with and even kill each other. It's nothing personal, right? >:) In general though this campaign is geared more towards the dramatist/story than the powergaming/munchkin side of play. If your PC dies, take one of your Retainers as your PC/viewpoint character.
4. It's a good idea to say what your PC is thinking, this will help the GM and other players react appropriately.
