[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 263383, member: 79"] I don't see any problem with 'save the world' plots. I just think it's important to layer in other things going on as well. Some threads can wind in with others, or can be red herrings. At present in my game the Big Threat (tm) looking in the background is a sacrifice to summon an Oni. The sacrifice needs someone special, and three characters in the group qualify, as do a few NPC's. While this looms, other things are happening. One of the samurai is jealous his girlffriend is getting gifts from someone, while he himself is also getting some new attention from an secret admirer. The wizard is collecting students while building criminal contacts, The group's main healer has suddenly gone to work as a carpenter for 3 sp a day, making everyone else suspicious what he is up to. The samurai in training has been sent out to find a new master swordsman in town. Etc etc. World shaking plots are good. They are even better when mixed with more personal stuff. [/QUOTE]
