DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - tricky - 06-25-2018 [align=center] Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - galexiux - 06-25-2018 Aw man. Eight will be very upset to find out she cant go swimming. Maybe towards the end of it they can find a clean underwater source and theyre all too thirsty to ration it out? Wed probably need more healers to that know how to deal with stuff like heat stroke and burns. My suggestion as a storyteller is to plan out the plot in waves before enacting it. Make sure you know exactly what your doing and pick up the pace a bit if stuff starts to fall appart. Planning ahead will help a ton c: Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - madster - 06-25-2018 yeah, i think there should definitely be like 'phases' of the plot so its easier to get everybody involved!!

phases yes pls for the more major plot points !!
Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - Bean - 06-25-2018 i think it would be very interesting to see where this goes, especially considering iota’s pretty dependent on her plant life. it’d be interesting to write her reactions to her plants wilting Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - Luciferr - 06-25-2018 Sounds interesting :0 Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - tricky - 06-25-2018 aa yea i was planning on doing it in phases! starting with the heatwave and then following the order in the above post. each phase would last about a week?? and all threads outside of it would be affected by the current event kinda like how snowbound did their plots? rip all the plants Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - Ren - 06-26-2018 imo this is something that looks good on paper, but in practice probably wouldn't work out very well. i don't wanna toot my own character's horn a million times, but the very presence of someone who can control water (not to mention characters with other elemental powers) makes a lot of the issues presented by the plot trivial.
basically it'd just be a matter of making sure the water supply stays reasonably high by spending days purifying and storing it (which wouldn't take more than one thread tops), and other micromanagement with putting out fires. only the hurricane would present a legitimate threat, and even then a water-user could probably keep parts of town from being destroyed (even moreso if they work alongside someone who can control earth to block the storm off). real droughts are dangerous because we aren't magical animals/gods/ghosts/demons with superpowers that can make them a lot easier to live through. seeing as our characters are those things though, the danger is minimized by a lot. like, it's a neat idea, but it seems that the only effect it'd have overall would be to rid the town of any progress that has been made in the last couple of months. personally i'd nix the plot (and maybe do a famine based on disease instead, since that isn't easily counteracted?), but if everyone really likes it a lot then don't let me stop you. Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - tricky - 06-26-2018 well i guess this entire plot can be scrapped then, and snowbound already did a disease-based plot i'll figure something else out Re: DROUGHT PLOT DISCUSSION - axiom - 06-30-2018 [align=center]
idea to save the plot - the drought, being caused by some presumably weird thing like the radiation causing interference when it gets too hot and dry, causes everyone's powers to act wonky? could effect more people than just those with elementals, so anyone with even a minor power could have some fun with their character's powers getting fuked up.
