PLOTTING (RETIRED)
⚰︎ ⍢ ⌲ ⍚ PLOTTING:
THIS PAGE HAS BEEN RETIRED. Please submit plotting requests to the NEW PLOTTING PAGE.
This plotting post facilitates player-mod communication about IC plot ideas of various types, from questions about the setting and character actions influencing it, to plot suggestions and player-run plots. Before coming to this page with an idea, players should ensure they have discussed it with the other directly impacted or participating players.
The best approach to these requests is for players to explain the intended outcome of the idea is so that the mods can collaborate with players on a way to make it happen within the context of the setting.
Fill out the form below in order to submit a request, and label the subject line with one of the request types explained further down the page:
This type of submission is for players who need either mod guidance on brainstorming or additional information about the setting (or who have minor suggestions for setting additions, like buildings or plants/animals). Players can share a goal or point of interest and ask how to make it happen, or simply ask how their character might achieve something.
Think of this submission type as information gathering. As a result, these requests are freeform and informal, sparking a collaborative discussion with the mods. Note: submitting a brainstorming request does not mean committing to the IC actions being discussed, so this is a good way to explore possibilities.
Players submitting this type of request are welcome to forego the form at the top of this page if they prefer.
This submission type is for reporting character actions that might have IC ramifications within the setting — such as when a player's own character dies, when they destroy or steal NPC property or kill more than three people, or when they take actions that might alter their influence over the setting/plot.
Please understand that these may involve positive or negative consequences, or just neutral impacts! Players should always be clear and transparent about their preferences for the consequences their characters face because we're here to facilitate your good time. In addition, bear in mind that negative consequences are generally temporary, and characters can always come back here with a new plot to try and adjust their reputation with a plot designed to positively impact the town's perception of them.
Except in cases of their own character's death (which need only be reported with a single line and can skip the form), players should wait for mod reply before making wide reference to these events and their details, as requests may lead to clarification or be altered to accommodate some aspect of the setting. Please reach out as soon as possible to keep the mods informed.
These submissions are required for plots that involve a group of five or more player characters and/or any mod NPCs, or those which would impact the setting of the game.
These plots cannot be implemented until approved. If a player wants their plot to be a surprise to the rest of the game, feel free to bring it over to the MOD CONTACT post.

QUESTIONS & BRAINSTORMING
This type of submission is for players who need either mod guidance on brainstorming or additional information about the setting (or who have minor suggestions for setting additions, like buildings or plants/animals). Players can share a goal or point of interest and ask how to make it happen, or simply ask how their character might achieve something.

- If I want Daenerys to gain political power, is that possible here? How would it work?
- How big are the farms beyond the walls? What type of farming do they do?
- Can I invent a weed in the farms beyond the wall that has aphrodisiac pollen?
- I want Juno to open a bowling alley. She has CR with Nagai Kei, who works as a carpenter, and he can help her with making wooden pins and balls. How might she secure a location and what else might she need?
CHARACTER INFLUENCE & IMPACTS
This submission type is for reporting character actions that might have IC ramifications within the setting — such as when a player's own character dies, when they destroy or steal NPC property or kill more than three people, or when they take actions that might alter their influence over the setting/plot.
Please understand that these may involve positive or negative consequences, or just neutral impacts! Players should always be clear and transparent about their preferences for the consequences their characters face because we're here to facilitate your good time. In addition, bear in mind that negative consequences are generally temporary, and characters can always come back here with a new plot to try and adjust their reputation with a plot designed to positively impact the town's perception of them.

Please reach out as soon as possible to keep the mods informed.
- Mario stole from the banker.
- Urianger is looking for a way to get a job with the Duchess.
- Sokka's curse/monster form is changing.
PLOT SUGGESTIONS & APPROVALS
These submissions are required for plots that involve a group of five or more player characters and/or any mod NPCs, or those which would impact the setting of the game.
These plots cannot be implemented until approved. If a player wants their plot to be a surprise to the rest of the game, feel free to bring it over to the MOD CONTACT post.
- Juno is opening a bowling alley.
- Bonnie is going to try to break the monster curses with magic.
- Loki will use his reality-altering powers to make it impossible to enter or exit the castle.
PLOT COINS
If you don't already have a plotting thread going and you would like to spend a plot coin, please use the form below:
chock full of hoot and just a little bit of nanny
Summary of Plot/Question: John would like to use a little of the good-will for the so-called Void-Touched to gather the resources (alcohol, stools) to throw a little pub gathering where musicians can play and people can drink and work through some urges, talk through the after-effects of the plot events, and generally foster community and entertainment.
Thinking I would set the event around the 22nd, both to give everyone time to keep doing event threads, and potentially allow people to play with the first few symptoms of their transformations and head them off with drunken impulses.
OOC Goals of Plot/Question:
• Give characters a setting to get together and chat informally about the monster attack and fire, and relax after high tension events, fostering new CR and dissemination of info.
• Give Uta and House (and anyone else with performance skills) a chance to play for a crowd.
• Maintain goodwill/community between the new arrivals and the NPCs, try and encourage a "we're all in this together" vibe.
Intended Outcome/Consequences: Truly open to discussion of anything beyond the obvious consequence of More Threads For All - I'll also note that if this isn't in line with the tone you're aiming for, or overlaps too significantly with something else you have planned, I'm down to skip or postpone!
Potential Impact(s) on Setting/Premise: Less beer in the world.
no subject
We already reached out to Vandal about some of this HERE, so we definitely want to make sure none of that gets missed.
That said, Uta and House can get in touch with a performance troupe who puts on small Shakespeare-in-the-park style plays. (You are free to develop these players into NPCs as you see fit, or we can give you some brief bios. There would not be more than a dozen of them.) Most of the players are actors, musicians, and puppeteers, and they'll be surprised to find that Uta is not so well-rounded a performer.
They will support the group's efforts by bringing out their own musical instruments and contributing a quick set-up stage for performing in the town square just outside the tavern, as well as songs of their own and musical accompaniment for all. They will also allow Uta and House to play their instruments based on their alleged musical skills.
In addition, Nikita will happily supply a number of kegs of beer to distribute at the concert performance and bring them out into the town square to help people take the edge off. We also want to note that the 22nd is the ideal day for the performance, as Thursdays are rest days in Rubilykskoye, so everyone should be taking a break from working and just having a good time!
If you have any further questions, let us know!
