Player Plots

Player plots are plots that have a large enough reach to require some sort of sign up, or would be difficult for those not directly involved to ignore, or need some sort of NPC/mod involvement.

Examples of player plots include:

Actions that would negatively affect 4-or-more PCs.

Death of a PC.

Death of a named NPC.

Death of more than 1 unnamed NPC at the same time.

Significant property damage.

A PC gaining powers as a result of aligning with a patron Entity.

Anything that could potentially expose the supernatural to the wider world.

Please submit player plots at least a week or two in advance of when you'd like to run it. In the event something happens suddenly that would escalate to a player plot, please let us know as soon as possible.

As mentioned in the State of the Game post, ordinary people whom Gil interacts with on a regular basis will have a much higher likelihood of going missing/being attacked/suffering some terrible, supernatural encounter. It is completely possible for Gil to build up this kind of network, but it may take longer than he's used to with these unfortunate happenings picking off his potential contacts.

Could you give us an ideal timeline for having a network and the sorts of information/connections he's specifically looking to make? He could certainly find his way to people like Lucky or Sable for trading in both legal and illegal goods. Lucky can also provide gossip about strange happenings in town that people might want to look into for smaller, self-contained missions.

Okay, another long-delayed response, but!! I would love for him to be able to get casual connections to Lucky, Sable, and potentially Kahlil if that would be possible. He would exchange small favors with them for bits of information, etc, gradually building up trust.

He would also very likely do the same with the NPC off-worlders both at Bonnie's and at ADI, since the risk to those uninvolved has been driven home. In terms of building said network up, he'd have started almost right away, but would be opening up to more significant favors/gifts/etc as of last month now that he's established himself as passably trustworthy.

Lucky's going to be the easiest person to start this with. He's a gregarious and friendly guy who will happily pass along gossip provided he's given some in return. Lucky might be able to offer Gil the occasional discount on items he procures or first pick, so it would be a little easier for Gil to get something like a gun or fancy knife.

Sable's a tougher nut to crack. She's more about business rather than shooting the breeze. He'd need to take a tactic of coming to her for a reason or she's going to shoo him off. Working to get an in with her would get him an occasional heads up about interesting items she's procured, which Gil is welcome to use as something he's doing to help ADI, keeping them apprised of Sable's stock. If you would like to play around with this for a future player plot, please let us know what you come up with related to it! We're happy to play around with the idea that Gil could be tapped to help her with a shipment gone awry, for instance. But feel free to get creative!

Kahlil is going to be evasive and nervous. Clearly interested in friendship, but taking pains to keep Gil at several arm-lengths. Gil won't be able to get close to him for now, but he'll likely be able to notice the fact that Kahlil's struggling. Both physically and emotionally. Something is wrong, but he is unwilling to discuss it.

Gil is welcome to make friends with any NPC off-worlders. You're welcome to handwave this within reason! No one is going to be throwing their life away at the drop of a hat for him, for instance, but they're like any standard coworker friends you might make.
