Frankenpost
I know I have tags, s my d.
So it's been like 80 years since we had a plot post, but I've been in a position and feeling like we haven't really needed one. There's lots to do, lots of chat discussion, lots we could be doing. There's only a few characters that have been notably languishing, so this is for you!, but I thought I'd do something a little different.
This is a combination PLOT-HMD post! Which means it can function as a traditional plot post (hello this is my character, this is what they are doing, see if anything sticks) OR as an HMD post (reminder that some people have HMDs in their journals if that's an ideal channel for you, or you can OPT IN to critique here by noting when you tag in. This is voluntary, don't do anything you're not comfortable with).
IDEALLY, plot-hmd discussion will be a combination of both, utilizing the following format:
Character specific traits that haven't been adequately explored/lately (ie "I haven't seen Tony's Extremis-aggression expressed in a while and wonder how it effects his relationship with the Dark Avengers.")
Thought babies that might not have occurred to the player (ie. "I feel like Jasper is an animal lover. A dog should follow him home!")
Consideration of how your characters specifically relate (ie. "Jasper is such a stickler for the rules but hasn't chastised Tony about anything. Do you think we could have a confrontation?")
So note that it's not only suggestion/critique, but offers a solution to help the player out of their comfort zone. Does this make sense?
Hopefully, this will help all of the characters that haven't been getting a lot of screen time lately. Again, you should note in your initial tag if you're open to all or some of these things; if you just want to chat, that's fine, too.
