The Round Table | KoL OOC

is to give me an idea of what you're interested in doing in regard to missions as a response to this post, sometime before Friday, March 15th. 

Those who do not respond will be placed on the inactive list.  You are allowed to reactivate at any time without a re-app.

Please respond with a list of all your active 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. If I still owe you an intro mission that we discussed, please note that too!

This is to help sort out characters onto missions for the next 4-5 months.

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 social logs, but they won't be holding up any group missions by accident.

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! 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 several months, but sometimes for way longer. 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. All missions will be taking place in America, and deal with the current situations resulting from the main game plot of Keijen Blade ascending to godhood. Technically, everyone is on main plot now... congrats, y'all in it.

Completion time varies greatly depending on the speed of the group.

3) Failboat. [costs XP] The mission group is closed to all those who have had a story reason to split from the Knights and follow Jack Chessing. This mission will take place soon after the wrap of the aftermath of current main plot mission. There will be another Failboat social log incoming soon as well.  Keep an eye out for Plot Shop sign-ups. Please make sure you will have time to dedicate to steadily and quickly tagging the Failboat mission posts if you continue on with Option 3. This means being able to tag back within a 48 hour window, ideally.

This is mostly to start sorting out mission groups for chapter finale missions!  If you have characters you don't really want on finale missions, please tell me that as well.  

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.

3) Main Plot. [costs XP] The mission group is currently locked in to those already a part of it. 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 (such as Andres), and its events will continue to expand 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 and quickly tagging the main plot posts if you continue on with Option 3.

 It's that time again:

Needing/wanting a more laid back approach this month?  You're probably going to want options 1 or 2.

1)  Opt Out.  First off, if you're worried about being just too busy to do any missions at all this month 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.

2) Freeform.  If you'd prefer to have your character go on a more free-form mission, where the group will just be given details of a scenario,and then the players able to work out the details of what happens there, run NPCs, etc, please indicate "FREEFORM" or Option 2 as a preference.  In other words, this kind of mission allows you to do things the the way people usually do in DW RP, rather than dealing directly with Gamemaster rulings/settings/the overall storyline of the game.   This is ideal for people who aren't as interested in participation in the overarching story, and would rather do their own thing within the sandbox of the game world.  Mission parties will be primarily PCs, with just a couple NPCs involved, and pacing will be entirely dictated by the players on that mission.

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 3, 4, or 5 will be the way to go. 

3)  Long Term.   As the name implies, these missions could go on for awhile - either from a few weeks to a few months.  They're usually not straight forward problems: complicated political issues, in depth investigations, far reaching evil organizations, etc.    If you decide to put your Knight on one of these missions and later want them involved with something else that happens in the main plot, we can always find a reason for them to be taken off the mission, so don't let that deter you from signing up for something that'll last awhile.  Some of these missions will intersect with the main plot anyways. 

4)  Short Term.  Unlike long term missions, these are issues with a quicker fix: a single monster, incident, person, item, etc. that requires dealing with.  These will usually play out in a short series of logs that should only cover a span of two weeks (as an extreme example) or considerably less.  

5)  Main Plot.  [costs XP]  You're going to have to cash in Experience Points at the Shop in order to buy into the opening mission that gets the game plot moving.  Only a limited number of people can end up on this mission, and it's the first of many such, so don't stress too much about jumping into this or missing the train.    Some PCs will end up laterally involved in that mission just because of who they are squired to, but the "action" bit will be reserved for those who sign up first.   Please make sure you will have time to dedicate to tagging the main plot posts if you sign up for option 5.
