Thanks for that opening post, Asmo. It's a reminder that we can all strive to do better. I, for example, have been forgetting to include descriptions of surroundings. I'll make a mental note to do it better, especially in situations where a description has not already been offered.
THAT SAID, folks in Pegulis please please listen up!
I am always, always, ALWAYS willing to involve other players.
Ilsa has pulled Vrein (@
Aila) and Castigarian (@
ReaperOfFlames) into plots that now make them pivotal, and dare-I-say
badass characters in the Pegulis story, and they have both done incredible jobs at rising to the occasion rolling with it. Proditius, the ice golem, I had worked with PigIron on and had some really cool concepts in mind to flesh out that character as well but he has unfortunately withdrawn. Castigarian started the story needing a bit of direction, but he has rolled in to the plot wonderfully. And Vrein, the manly shirtless brooding blacksmith who likes to disrobe at unfortunate times, has become entangled in that plot as well as his own deep relationship web.
In Aldus, Karissa acts as Dane (@
ConstructPylons)'s foil, helping to flesh out and give context to his character, and in doing so this makes both characters - Karissa AND Dane - more compelling. Dane has done the same with Artorius (@
LVL1337N00B), and Azareth (@
Navras) has done a good job taking this all in stride and continuing to hatch his evil plot while occasionally peeking his (three-eyed, bandaged) head out at us. While Navras' plot was pretty much entirely his own idea, he approached me with it and I am doing my best to give it weight by contrasting it with fun and interesting characters.
The beautiful thing about all this is,
this is not everything. We are not done. We have so much more up our sleeves, and I (and I'm sure everyone else) would LOVE to make it more intricate by involving more characters.
Ilsa and the rest of the survivors from Aldus (Vrein and Castigarian are the PCs, but for new, incoming characters there are still NPC spots open that can be replaced) are now in Barvelle.
Karissa, Dane, Artorius, Azareth, and at some point hopefully Ly'ssandra (@
Stein) are all in Aldus.
If you are in either of those places, came from those places, are going to those places, and want to do more with your character: LET ME KNOW.
I am involved in enough of my own plots at the moment that I'm not actively seeking out new ones, so regretfully, I am not likely to seek out other players on my own, but this does not mean I won't listen and work with you on your plot if you ask. Please be proactive and seek us out if you are looking for plots!
