Diplomatic Plots
-
Players in some DM factions, and soon even PC factions possibly, will notice that there are suddenly some letters and offers coming from various rival factions around the city. While we want to see players debate these issues, and certainly talk about them in game and figure out ways to include other factions (both DM and PC), we do want to clarify a little about how this plot is going to go:
1). You don't have too long to talk, the events (all player driven) that prompted this story-arc are time sensitive, events will play out based on player choices made before the coming week closes (and I estimate that just for DMs to get ready–responses to various offers made today and being made in the coming days will need to be determined by Wednesday this week but this may get pushed back a week based solely on my schedule!)
2). Keep in mind, what is now happening involves nations with ARMIES. Players diplomatic choices will likely have as much, if not more, impact than any battles that may come out of this. Much like the Civil War plot, but many details will also be determined by sheer gutsy heroism in game too, as the fact that such heroics were ignored slightly during the Civil War was a common complaint (but please note a difference between heroics and stupid!)
