Stepping up for HST.

[AST Tai]

Hello this is Tai (Not Taibelina) I am posting this on behalf of Justin G., who is looking to be your next Changeling HST. This team will be Justin- HST, Zach- AST, and myself- AST. We realize the election is in a week but we hope to be able to answer whatever questions you may have either here on the boards or in person before then. Thank you!

Will you be making any system changes? ie the treasure system? The chimera creation system?

Also, how will you be involving newer characters in the plots? One issue I often see is alot of NPCs doing stuff, a few high profile PCs doing stuff (nobles and . . . well, yeah, mostly nobles), and alot of low profile PCs hanging around the sidelines watching. While some of these issues can be the result of player participation, it often feels like some players are more often than not relegated to supporting cast, while the players who have well established characters and/or a mountain of xp from having played for years, are constantly basking in the spotlight. Do you have any plans to help with this disparity?

The only System changes we are implementing at this time are entirely Plot related and will unfold in due time, We will be running with Jason's Revised rules for the most part.

As far as bringing people into things, we are planning a plot for everyone to be involved in, less NPC's more players. There will be need of everyone's inputs. As far as anything else though, you will get out of it what you put into it. The real benefits I'm seeing out of longer running characters at this point is that they have established places or freeholds, and others will need to "Befriend" them as there is not a central freehold anymore.

I'll allow Justin and Zach to respond as they feel the need to add to this.
