This page serves as an information hub for organizing plots! Staff uses it, PRP runners are welcome and encouraged to use it and edit it at will, as well. Communicate and organize your plot in whatever format works best for you, and be sure to check out our Plot Overview Template to copypasta as a framework to get started. You can also find Plots For Adoption which are plots which can be handed off to someone else to run for as long as the PRP runner wants to run it.

Cabals

Party Harders

You Go To One Goat Rager...

Tick, Tock, Doomsday Clock

There is a plotline about the Masquerade breaking that you have the power and obligation to stave off! If the clock ever hits midnight, then staff will unleash a particular metaplot about the Masquerade breaking in a gigantic and world-changing way. This number is a tally maintained by storytellers that is composed of masquerade breaches, which can be cleaned up. If we have too many uncured breaches, though, ... Well, you'll see what happens. Or you won't, hopefully. When connected to the game, you can see the Doomsday Clock by typing "+who" or "+doom".

Here are instances where someone or something has moved the needle...
