It's that time again:
YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT
is to give me an idea of what you're interested in doing as a response to this post, sometime before Sat, July 5th.
Please respond with a list of all your characters and what you'd like for them. If you have any characters who have NEVER BEEN ON A MISSION, please indicate this in your comment, and list them first.
There are still 2 mission groups that haven't dispatched from my last round, but when planning new groups, priority will go to people who haven't been on a mission yet to be shipped out first.
Needing/wanting a more laid back approach through the next several months? You're probably going to want option 1.
1) Opt Out. First off, if you're worried about being just too busy to do any missions at all in the next several months (given that missions ask for a steadier rate of tags than social castle logs do) and would rather opt out entirely, please respond with "OPT OUT -CHARACTER NAME-" or Option 1. Your character will still be able to participate in logs around the castle, or go off on their own mini adventures around London or... wherever they wanna go, but they won't be holding up any group missions by accident. If you're on a different mission that is still currently backlogging, and don't like concentrating on tagging two missions at once, feel free to pick this option as well!
However, if you're interested in doing a regular mission, with lots of NPC and fellow PC interaction, guided action scenarios with dicerolls and all that goodness, option 2 or 3 will be the way to go.
2) Mission Me! Trying something new this time, as short & long missions tend to both go on for awhile. If you would like to be involved on a mission at all, please select option 2, and tell me what level that character is currently.
Missions could go on for awhile - usually in terms of months. They could be straight forward problems: complicated political issues, in depth investigations, far reaching evil organizations, etc or issues with a quicker fix: a single monster, incident, person, item, etc. that requires dealing with.
Completion time varies greatly depending on the speed of the group.
3) Main Plot. [costs XP] The mission group is currently locked in to those already a part of it, until after the group goes to speak with Dimitris Sarandis. If you are new to the game and want in, don't stress too much about missing the train. There will be many, many opportunities to jump into the main plot further into the game at more logical junctions, and its events are expanding to influence all characters in some way or another. In fact, there are lots of ways to involve yourself in main plot now that it's hit home in the castle, without specifically being on the main plot missions out in the field. Please make sure you will have time to dedicate to steadily tagging the main plot posts if you continue on with Option 3.
