I know that there is a mass of paperwork involved in running a game, keeping track of a huge amount of player information.
To this extent I am creating a tool with the rest of the Mage ST staff that will help in the organization of information.
I am doing this for a few reasons:
Prevent rock star syndrome where the people with the most going on get the most plot/storyteller interaction.
Ensure that there is appropriate plot for different play groups and power levels.
Ensure that every character feels that they have a lasting and significant stake in the overall plot.
Ensure that plot is organized and maintains a semi cohesive narrative that can utilize all the tools of dynamic storytelling.
I need some help. Instead of just asking the other staff to fill me in on what is going on with the player base, I want to collect information directly from the players.
Is your avatar defined?
Have you requested a seeking in the last 6 months but not been scheduled?
Have you requested plot in the last 6 months but have no idea where the plot is?
Does your character have any research projects or other long term projects they are doing between sessions?
Does your character have any merits flaws or traits that require weekly tests?
Does your character have any merits or flaws or traits that should be generating occasional plot that are not?
Is there anything else you want to tell me as a part of the ST staff that could be used to improve game?
Please reply by PM or emailing the mage disty list.
