rpanons | Found the token ace

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

plan your plots around your overarching plot. in the beginning, make sure heavy plot is spaced out to not run your players into the ground, and be ready to tweak when/how certain events happen based on how your players respond and how much they uncover about the plot to make it believable.

for example, I put a timetable of a certain overarching storyline to take 12 months, since it'd be spaced out with events every other month with tiny stuff happening in between these events. if my players didn't discover something or if an NPC died that was necessary to the plot, I just adjust my timetable and dial up or dial back events based on what circumstances are present.

if I did heavy plot for a couple of months at a time, unless it was a small and intimate playerbase, I think it would lose some people and my playerbase might get antsy being stuck on a path for so long. if I have to have them focus on a specific thing for several months, I pepper in little bits of other things they can do in the meantime if they are burned out on the serious stuff or a specific thing.
