[QUOTE="WizardOfFrobozz, post: 8391889, member: 7029408"] [B]Main story arc[/B]: PC's stumble upon a secret order devoted to researching a magical "technology" with the potential to revolutionize society... but at what cost? Very slow burn as they learn more about the magic/technology, meet members of the secret society (and the OTHER, slightly-less-secret society sworn to oppose it), and decide whether they're going to help or hinder its progress. Meanwhile, more than half of the actual play sessions are devoted to exploring the PC's individual story arcs that weave in and out of the main narrative. For example: [LIST] [*]The paladin who swore an oath of vengeance to track down the mysterious mercenaries that slaughtered the noble family he was pledged to protect [*]The crook who was set up by the petty crime boss is on the run from the law, but still trying to find out what happened to other members of the crew (did anyone else survive?) and maybe one day get revenge [*]The inventor who dreams of one day creating true artificial life (there are automata in this game world, but nothing like warforged) [*]The reluctant mage who struggles to embrace the arcane gifts that he despises (kinda like Ron Swanson finding out that he's just a naturally gifted government administrator) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
