Plotting

[neonmods]

This page is your one-stop shop to pitch ideas to the mods, propose an event, or ask questions about things you’d like to do in the game. Every plot post will also have a Q&A section for this same purpose, but this one’s more for your general ideas and permission.

NPCs and factions, monsters, and locations can be suggested on their respective pages. Feel free to ask questions here, but we may send you to the page proper to officially submit it.

As a refresher, we’d like to be consulted for the following types of plots:

✧ Giving your character a prestigious, influential, or extremely privileged job

✧ Working for City Hall in any capacity

✧ Plots that would impact other players/large portions of the setting

✧ Plots that would damage or destroy public locations

✧ Interactions with major mod NPCs

✧ Killing any NPCs

✧ Plots that attempt to bend setting mechanics (taming a monster, leaving the boundaries of the map, experimenting magically with Shadows, etc - these are not forbidden but we’d like to know what you’re doing so we can give you some results)

If you’re unsure or just want to hash something out with us, go ahead and drop us a line!

So, what can we do for you?

Player Plot for January?

[heartworthbreaking]

Soooo I have an idea I want to pitch to you for approval/input, etc. before I go opening this up to the game at large:

Who: Some nefarious guys (TBD) and a bunch of characters who sign up for this.
Where: Various locations, connected to the Underground.
When: Some day in January (this all happens in a single day at the same time)
Format: Basically choose one of the four scenarios below, grab an interested partner or two and hash out your escape together! The fourth scenario has unique handling. (Outcomes will be written for each scenario depending on the results of threads?)
CW: drugging, medical horror, body horror, monsters/transformation, monsterfucking, dubcon, mind control/altered mental states/altered moods

A group - open to any but this is especially for players who are struggling - of disparate characters have been captured (by whom, to be determined). Sequestered in various locations but all of them connected to the Underground, the characters have been separated into pairs or groups. Though the circumstances may be different, the goal is the same: survive until you can escape.

The obstacles facing the characters will be based on what the participants are interested in. If you don't play fighty characters, consider the non-combative options or make your own. If you play fighty characters, you are, of course, not required to only choose combat options. Just like every other event, the choice is yours what you would like to engage in. There is no requirement to participate in every option. Choose the one you like best! Don't like any? Make your own! Anything that has ever appeared on the comms is pretty much up for grabs here, unless it's an AC reward and then I'll see what I can do.

Some examples. Your character awakes...

[Scenario 1] chained to another character, the room begins to fill with gas. A voice from a crackling intercom announces that elevated emotions will accelerate the gas's effect - to be transformed into a horrific monster! Only one of you has been given the antidote, better find out a way to calm them, or escape and pull the lever on the other side of the room that will pump antidote into the room instead. Or save your own hide and leave the other(s) to fend for themselves! Alternatively, if you're into dubcon and monsterfucking: the above, but the monster is horny and so are you.

[Scenario 2] in a carefully preserved room where all the windows and doors are locked. Strange things keep happening too, moments where the room becomes cold enough to see your breath, objects that fall mysteriously off shelves, or flickering lights. And is that the sound of... weeping? Help a ghost resolve the regrets that keep them tied here, and be rewarded with freedom. Investigation or diplomacy, or special psychic/life energy powers might even come in handy here!

[Scenario 3] with a group of other people, dressed in bizarre costumes, on a stage set up with cheap plywood set designs on stands: a fantasy castle, a little cottage in a wood. Over the intercom crackles a tinny recording of orchestrated music... and sitting alone in the audience is a gaunt, figure dressed all in black, any face obscured by the shadow of a top hat (ludicrously tall top hat too, very rude to wear that to a show). Do you take that flimsy stage foil in your hand and try to attack your audience, or hope that entertaining the mysterious being will earn your freedom? There can be compulsive effects involved, such as the irrepressible urge to sing your dialogue. Your costume need not be appropriate or adhere to any perceived gender roles. Go nuts.

[Scenario 4] secured to a chair, bolted to a circular metal disc on the floor. You can't turn your head, but you can make out someone to your left and right in a similar situation. A spotlight descends on one person at a time, and out of the darkness that surrounds you dozens of figures appear. Perhaps some of them are familiar, intimately so. When the light falls on you, they heap accusations, they scream, they yell, they curse you for every sin, every crime, every one of your regrets. The light shuts off and all of them go silent. The disc rotates, the light falls on a new victim, and the cacophony starts up all over again. The air thickens with negative anima the longer this goes on. By the time your turn rolls around again, you feel like a live wire. Will you use this explosive power to escape, or punish your accusers? Will it drive you mad? (This is designed to be a Mingle with no cap on participants. Everyone involved post a top level with their turn for the regrets/sins/etc. being exposed with their character's reaction. Everyone can react to each other's threads. A separate thread will be posted with an outcome once all players involved have had a chance to declare what action they will take once they've all drunk deep of the negative anima juice. Depending on who all gets involved this could turn into absolute pandemonium. Perfect opportunity to run like hell!)
