smk_oocWe are gearing up for our first Mod Plot! Before we go any further, please be aware that Mod Plots are 100% optional! A summary will be posted to allow those who did not wish to participate to know what has happened. This does not mean that they will be rushed as the summary will be updated as threads finish.
If you choose to participate you will be allowed to do what you wish with in the parameters of both the game and what the Mod Plot intends. In other words, we give you point A and point D, you pick B and C. We only ask you stay within the concept of the game and follow the expectations of the Spell system and Drawback system.
IC Portion
The Mod Plot will be divided into three parts. Part one will consist of a Narrative and will set up the beginning of the plot. The second part will be a network post by Merlin that characters may respond to. Merlin will be asking for information from the Apprentices, asking for volunteers and answering any questions they may have. Hades will respond as well should he feel the need. Keep in mind that Merlin and Hades will be ICly unaware of what took place in the Narrative.
By August 15th, Merlin will send out those who volunteered. This is part three and will consist of two logs. The first log will be the primary log for the event and will include one top level for each group. The groups will be separated in these top levels. A final Top Level will be made for all the groups to come together (you may post various threads under this Top Level).
The second log will be made ONLY if there are enough characters who opted out of the main plot. This log will include a secondary event tied to the Plot that will be much more toned down but still give a chance for earning Sparks.
We do remind you that any injuries your character sustains will not be magically healed until they return to Main Street, unless a Prince/ss class is in the group. Drawbacks will still occur, so be mindful of spell usage. Drawbacks are something we will be keeping an eye out for, as that is a big part of the game’s mechanics.
The plot will ICly end on August 18th but of course you are more than welcome to back tag. We will put up a plot summary on August 20th and update that as you all finish off your threads.
OOC Portion
A plotting post will be put up after Merlin’s network post. In this OOC post we will ask Cast Members to volunteer their characters. Groups will be made and you will be given the chance to plot things out with other Cast Members. There will be corroded monsters that attack each group, but each group will also have a different outcome.
We will give you the Point A and Point D here as well, once the groups are randomly assigned. We will try to keep the groups as balanced as possible in regards to classes.
Feel free to ask for clarification in the comments below, we do want to keep this a bit of a surprise but also want to give enough information that you can all work out fun plots and consequences for your characters.

Date: 2019-08-07 05:59 am (UTC)Yes, both ICly and OOCly. Quite a bit will be revealed about the Kingdoms in the Narratives for the sake of Cast Members. And the characters will learn a few key things over the course of the plot concerning the Kingdom Spirits and the meanings of each land 8D~!!!
