Add a new dynastic rule titled “The Plot†with the following text:
There exists a non-playable entity called “Jason Smith†(or the Protagonist). The Protagonist is not considered a Character, but certain actions of Characters can affect the Protagonist.
The Plot is defined as the events that have ocurred thus far in this Dynasty.
There exists a wiki document called the “Plot Summary†whose contents have no effect on gamestate. This document may edited by any Character at any time, and should be edited to reflect updates in the Plot. Entries in the Plot Summary document should be kept as concise as possible.
Each Character has a statistic called “Plot Points†(abbreviated PP) to be tracked in the GNDT. New Characters start with 0 PP.
Give each Character 0 PP. Create a wiki document called “Plot Summary”.
Plot can be more narrowly defined later, but this should be fine for now.
I remember that one very well. Very fun and the idea of not knowing whos winning makes the dynasty much more interesting cause it can keep people active
on a technicality. I object to “There exists a wiki document called the “Plot Summary†whose contents have no effect on gamestate”, because plot summary itself will be a gamestate document.
Gnauga:
Any definition on what Plot Points represent, or are they just an unspecified statistic?
