STATE OF THE PLOT UPDATE/DISCUSSION

[letsgolegion]

STATE OF THE PLOT UPDATE/DISCUSSION This is your periodic upcoming plots update/discussion. Based on player input and how quickly the game moves along, some plots may have their order or dates be shifted around in the future, but this is the current schedule of the game's upcoming mod plots. Unlike the recent Galactus plot, player plots and events may run alongside any of these plots (and some players already have some minor events planned!), so feel free to propose and run any in the upcoming months. IN BRIGHTEST DAYAfter several squads of power ring-wielders come through the rift to the game universe from an alternate version of the DC universe's past, and find the last lingering remains of the various Lantern Corps in the 31st century, the War of Light will be rekindled. Outmanned and outgunned despite their powers, the Legionnaires will have to seek out the last, lost Green Lanterns to arm themselves with power rings to fight against the various evil Lantern Corps and find a way to shove them back into their home universe. Through the course of the plot, characters will have a chance to wield rings powered by willpower, love, compassion, hope, avarice, rage, or the creation of fear. ✦ Size: Gamewide, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 6-28-16 ⟶ 7-19-16 TINKER, TAILOR, HERO, SPYAfter a mission goes horribly awry, the presence of a mole leaking vital Legion intel to supervillains and other parties will be revealed on Legion World. While the Legionnaires that were injured have to deal with the psychological consequences of recovery, a team of investigators will have to determine if the mole is a support staff member or one of their fellow Legionnaires. ✦ Size: Limited, opt in. This will be a small, non-gamewide plot. Two teams will be formed, one that has to use all the skill they have to survive an ambush and a team of investigators dealing with the aftermath. The team that is injured will all be willing volunteers that want to explore their characters having a close call and needing recovery time so that the role isn't forced on anyone. ✦ Dates: 8-17-16 ⟶ 8-31-16 WELCOME TO MURDERWORLDWhen a new world the UP makes contact with through threshold drive exploration, Harrub, petitions to join the UP, the UP Council -- suspicious that Harrub's government is secretly oppressing their own population in ways that would make them ineligible -- asks the Legion to discreetly investigate. When the investigating team is betrayed by someone within the UP Council itself, they'll find themselves transported to Murderworld, an artificial planetoid where televised death arenas run 24/7. After finding himself accidentally transported to the Legion's universe through the Rift, the supervillain Arcade started working for Harrub's government, providing a place where Harrub's political dissidents and their families are forced to participate in gladiatorial combat while Harrub's corrupt political elite bet on the winners. The captured Legionnaires must fight against Arcade's copyright-infringing, hired mercenary "Tributes," try to protect the innocents currently trapped in Murderworld, and bring down the entire operation from the inside, while the Legionnaires outside must navigate a difficult political situation: they know their friends have been taken but can't get them back without admitting the UP was illegally spying on Harrub -- something that can be considered an act of war. ✦ Size: Gamewide, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 9-16-16 ⟶ 10-07-16 DISCUSSION/QUESTIONS Now, some people may have noticed, we've tweaked the dates slightly for Murderworld, to run it at the end of August instead of the middle. Both of the main mods have summer vacations we're trying to shift the plot dates around, and we also want to give the game a solid gap between plots because we're going to have a bunch of heavy ones in a row. (These may shift again if anything changes our possible vacation dates, but we think we have it nailed down). That means we have a large gap between 7-19 ⟶ 8-17 that won't have any mod plot going on. We'd like to have something running during that time, though, even if it's low-key, and are considering some kind of fun alien festival as a CR-building thing. But if any players would like to run player plots or an event like the camping trip, instead, they're welcome to. We wanted to open that up to the players to see if someone wants to run something or somethings during that time. Feel free to discuss concerns or ask questions about these plots in the comments below.
