We hope everyone enjoyed their first week and is a little settled in, for now it is time to talk... PLOTS.
LANDS:
There are six lands! Each land has two quests! First, there's the quest to solve the LAND'S UNIQUE PROBLEM and make the Denizen agreeable. Doing this allows you to access the DENIZEN QUEST. The frog planet is the last planet able to be solved (of course, you don’t know this yet.) When all six lands are solved, SPECIAL OPTIONS will appear. But we expect all six lands to take quite a while, and there's no rush.
What sort of quests?
Each land has a different focus, with different abilities required; Some will be combat orientated, others will be based on skills like puzzle solving! All lands are a co-operative effort, and no single person can succeed alone.
Moderators will handle NPCing and fight encounters.
So how can we get started?
We’ll make a post for the FROG PLANET at the end of this week where players can charge in, since right now the focus of the majority of the characters seems to be solving the frog problem. After that, we’ll respond to player choice- When you guys get together with an aim, poke one of the moderators over IRC or through the Mod Contact post and we’ll start the land. This is so players can pick and choose based on their character’s faction unity and which one appeals most to their characters! We want players to lead and make their own decisions.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
We'll toss in the occasional SPECIAL EVENTS to keep things lively. This might be a glitch affecting the functioning of the session, chances to advance the cause of Derse/Prospit, or something entirely new!
PLAYER PLOT:
We love naturally developed player plot. Just because we have lands with solutions doesn’t mean you have to seek those solutions. In fact, you’re welcome to create your own goals and inflict them on the game. Whether it’s creating a culling mob/viva la hemospectrum revolution, sticking the humans in a zoo, sabotaging the efforts to solve the plot, trying to become a leader, or general in-fighting! You don’t have to plan this out ahead- As long as you talk to the other players involved, go on as much of a mayhem spree as you so desire!
While the game has rails, there’s no reason the plot train can’t jump the tracks.
