metaplot discussion update

✖

After taking into account all your comments on this last entry and on Discord, here's a summary of how we could move forward re: the metaplot and beyond:

• Leave the big boss battle where it is (April 26th) so as not to interfere with existing player plots (eg. Cinder's mission et al). Anyone who's interested will be able to participate in fighting their boss (and who hasn't wanted to fight their boss?) or sit this one out.


• Moving to a more collaborative PCal to encourage people to run their own plots, plus switching to a more Monster of the Week kinda format.


• Most people still seem to want some kind of NPC leadership, so Adventure Society can get absorbed into Quest Fellowship (maybe Cadmus owed Xander a lot of money for all those legal battles he lost, or the Vampiric Council determined that since Xander kept beating him in vampire duels means he gets all his stuff, handwave handwave handwave) and become another satellite location, while also still being its own thing. Xander Baudelaire won't be a very present boss since he's overseeing multiple locations, so most of the day-to-day will be handled by existing player character Department Heads. All the mod NPCs will get swept so that nobody untrustworthy is left. Characters will be able to work remotely if they want (just like QF characters), stay here if they feel like it, or some combination of both. This should open more of the world up!


• Working under a legit organization and governing body will also mean higher safety standards (mandatory WHMIS training, anyone?), and that certain jobs will require proper certification (eg. Hyacinthe being hired as a horse therapist without any qualifications wouldn't fly in this new chapter). Current characters will be grandfathered in.


• New characters can be transplants from Quest Fellowship, new hires from outside of both Societies, or characters that were previously snowglobed by Cadmus Scantlebury. I'll make a separate post for new character/connection brainstorming.

How does that sound? Does that work for everyone? Let me know your thoughts!

This game belongs to everyone. ♥
