Mar. 25th, 2015 02:31 pmSeems like this livejournal is starting to turn into a LRP blog. Oh well.
One of the most contentious topics in LRP seems to be that of plot and its fair distribution. The internet is littered with complaints that there’s not enough, it’s the wrong sort or that all of it has been stolen by evil plot hoovers who aren’t sharing. As someone who has at times been a plot writer, felt left out in the cold plot wise, and is now likely widely viewed as an awful plot hoarder, I’ve been musing about this for a while, so thought I’d share my thoughts.
Please note that almost all of these observations are for fest games and most specifically the large fest events. They are the ones that I hear most people moaning about.
( On with the stuff... )
