Intro - Levels of power, brief backstory
Spoiler: show
To do something on the Diamond Pantheon, you simply elaborate it on a relevant thread on the forums. Usually you pick a thread where a lot of action is already happening if you want to join in on something, or start your own chain of events in a new thread (perhaps under your Realm). If what you describe is in your grasp, it happens and others can react to it. It’s storytelling.
Most action happens in the Diamond Gardens.

It’s really pretty simple, although there are many more specifics, details, and numbers in the full rules. If it should be within your grasp to do something, you don’t need to look up any rules or roll any dice. In fact, if you say something simple you can assume you are successful immediately and start dictating your next action without waiting for the DM to approve it! Doesn’t that feel powerful? Please take advantage of this, as it makes the game move much more quickly.
