✦ The Meta Plot. The Fleet RPG has an over-arching meta plot anyone can participate in. As the game progresses the meta plot will unfold and be shaped by the characters. It will answer questions about who the Owmi are, who are the other sects, what happened in their past to set current events into motion, etc. The Meta Plot is not mandatory, if a player so wishes, they can treat this game like a standard Jam-Jar slice of life game (set in space). However, the Meta Plot will often dictate the setting of the game and sometimes the major events that take place. Players should keep this in mind as the game setting will not remain static, it will change over the months and years. If a player wishes to engage with the Meta Plot, they can certainly get their character(s) involved through the plots and events that will happen. If you have an idea you want to bring directly to the Mods, feel free to contact us (Mod Contact is: HERE). For actual details about the Meta Plot up to this point, go HERE. ✦ Game Plots. Outside the meta plot, there will be a varity of different kinds of plots - both Mod-made and Player-made. These plots will happen every month or every other month, depending on schedules. Orakalla Plots They could be plots originating from the Orakalla - it's acting up and doing many strange things. Maybe one week everyone shares dreams, or they've de-aged, or everyone starts singing as if they are in a musical. Or maybe something familiar from your character's home universe is affecting people. Strange things people cannot explain. These plot will most likely not be mandatory. Sometimes they will affect the setting which means your character will not be able to ignore what is happening to others - but your character will never have to be directly affected by these plots. Missions and Setting Plots Or they could be plots based around the current setting or missions for the welfare of fleet. Life in the Fleet is dynamic. They move from one end of the known galaxies to the next, the Owmi are nomadic. As such, they like to explore their new surroundings and they always need to replenish supplies. Characters will be able to help in these areas. And let's not forget the need to help defend the Fleet or the Owmi in certain situations. The Fleet will encounter strange things out in the black unknown - strange anomalies, different races and cultures, different worlds, etc. These encounters will invaritably affect the Fleet. Sometimes the missions or encounters will be good for the Fleet, sometimes neutral, sometimes good and bad, and sometimes wholly bad. Missions will always be voluntary (at least player wise - whether characters are willing is up to the player.) But missions will earn characters points and point will get them game bling. So it's worth considering how your character could be involved in missions. Character-Driven Plots Or maybe a plot is character-driven. Some characters are charismatic, accident prone, lucky, cruel, or just loud, and sometimes those characters cause things to happen - both good or bad or goodbad - and sometimes these things affect a large portion of the characters in game. Again, these plots will not be mandatory, but they should be fun. To see a list of previous game plots, go HERE ✦ What if I have a plot idea? The mods would love to hear it! Be it plots originating from the Orakalla or character-driven plots. Players who have an idea for a plot should come talk to the mods. Leave a comment on this page, or you can contact us in one of the ways listed on our Mod Contact Page. ✦ What if I don't want to participate in a plot? Plots will almost never be mandatory. Setting changes will happen, and characters will have to stay with the Fleet when it moves to a new setting. But as for the meta plot and the monthly events, the Mods will strive to find ways for characters to sit out a plot. But players should be aware that some plots will affect the setting and characters might not have the option of ignoring the environment around them. |
