FLASHPLOT SIGNUPS
Platinum here.
Okay. I've pulled myself back together enough that I think I can handle these again, so let's talk Flashplots.
First: What are Flashplots?
Flashplots are adventures usually designed for one person but that can be expanded to cover a small group. They are, by design, very short. Usually between 10 and 20 posts, with fifteen comments total being a good number to aim for. They are never world shaking or planetwide crises, but they're things like "Rescuing people from an apartment fire", "stopping a bank robbery", and "keeping that out of control bus of sick orphans from speeding into the atomic testing area".
Think of them as the first few pages of a comic book where the hero swoops in and handles some little crime before the real plot stops. He spots the trouble, swings into action, resolves it, and is on his way to meet with someone in his secret identity before page 5.
Second: What are Flashplots good for?
To give your character awesome little scenes where they can save the day by themselves and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done! Bragging rights! Recognition from NPCS ranging from "Oh Grud, it's the Legion!" to "Hey, I heard that Wash stopped a bank robbery by himself! That's awesome." They also count as a plot participation credit for AC purposes.
Third: How do Flashplots work?
You sign up, saying whether you'd prefer to be solo or if you're willing to be in a group. (If you ARE looking for a group deal, please talk it out with potential group members beforehand!) Also, if you have a plot or a type of scenario in mind, please feel free to mention it. If you don't, I'll ask a few questions, then brainstorm up a situation. Once we've come up with something you think would be fun (and don't forget, Flashplots are all about the player. I'm just facilitating the fun here.) then I'll make a post, bring it up to you, and you can start posting away.
I am more than willing to play out a specific scenario that you want done. However, bear in mind that if you do not have a clear scenario, then your characters will go through a short, random generator designed for them to succeed.
Fourth: How many Flashplots will run at once?
As many as I can handle. However, a player can only have one Flashplot active at a time. While you can start a new Flashplot just as soon as the old one wraps up, it's easier just to run things one at a time. This doesn't mean that I won't be running more than one Flashplot at a time, however. Just that a single player can only have the one.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask inside. Otherwise, just make a comment in this post if you'd like to participate.

Magic is a thing that exists in the Legionverse, as much as our resident supergeniuses hate it. (Supergenii? Whatever.) What if some young mage, wanting to impress her tutors on the Sorcerer's World of Zerox, tried to 'reprogram' an ancient golem to protect a nature preserve? Except she accidentally activates it too early, meaning that there's an enraged elemental in the middle of a city's cultural festival trying to destroy everything that doesn't belong in nature, such as worked metals, plasticrete, buildings, etc.
So it's big, strong, and modern weapons don't seem to be doing much good. But the young mage swears that if someone can get at the trio of gemstones that she set into it, destroy them, that'll stop the monster.
This may or may not involve hiding the metal arrowheads inside of the 'traditionally made' stuffed animals.
