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.

<b>Player Name(s)</b>: <b>Character(s) Involved</b>: <b>Dates</b>: When you would like to run the plot. <b>Plot Type</b>: PERSONAL, PAIR, GROUP <b>Plot Summary</b>: Please let us know what you're doing! <b>Questions</b>: Do you have any specific questions for us?

OH perfect, yes, it definitely makes more sense for Jeff to seem like he's turning a new leaf and finally being a team player with the ADI! So with that in mind, yeah, his involvement won't be a secret; he'll be part of the team in an "official" capacity.

And since he's trying to look like he's behaving now, he'll also offer the majority of shards to Austin for proper destruction, and keep pieces for himself.

(And speaking of his tail and the ADI's monitoring of him, I will say that Jeff's behavior has seemingly improved since the blackout! Since he's moved on to subtler feeding habits, he doesn't do anything shady when he busks these days, so it's all just normal, totally mundane music.)

With all that sorted, a few more questions!

1. re: Fenix's capture and the ADI's knowledge that he's the one luring him out, I figure this means Jeff shouldn't try to use any Spiral powers to subdue him, since that'll get back to them. Should we play the thread out like he just takes him as far as X location, before Austin and more involved ADI personnel intervene and make the capture?

2. re: the mirror, Jeff's somewhat convinced there's something beyond/inside it, like its own liminal space or something. (Mainly because of the specific types of hallucinations it triggered in him way back in the Circus Circus plot and subsequent TDM prompt.) So one thing he'll be trying to do over the long term is access this theoretical space that probably doesn't actually exist-- eventually, like many months down the line, could this potentially build to a player plot of some kind?

Specifically, my goal with him as an avatar is to either be coaxed back in the direction of humanity, OR become more monstrous and more like a concept, since the Spiral's brand of fears tend to be more abstract. So becoming a what more than a who (like the Distortion/Michael/Helen), if that's even possible within the perimeters of the game. With the mirror, I was wondering if that could tie in, in a similar way to Michael's doors. So, like, eventually building to a plot where he's actually luring and trapping people in liminal spaces via the mirror, or using mirrors to travel and do spooky shit to feed, etc etc.

This is all vague and totally theoretical at this point, just brainstorming, but I just wanted to see what was even remotely possible before hammering out any actual details!

1. Yes! Please go ahead and run with those assumptions in place. ADI will consider this a major step forward for Jeff, and you can assume his tail will be less of a constant presence and more of an occasional check-in.

2. This is something that would be feasible down the line, yes! We would suggest that the best timing for something like that, if Jeff goes full monster, would be Arc 3, when becoming one won't lead to immediate focus for destruction by ADI. Just for your awareness, Arc 3 is planned to begin in mid-2023.
