However, we will need some organization. This is to keep things goal-focused, give players a sense of accomplishment aside from leveling (which happens very slowly in PbP), and keep the game from just petering out.QuestsAs the PCs pick up on hooks and set goals for themselves, these will be organized into quests, and the completion of quests will earn additional XP. It is up to the players to decide when a goal is important enough to be considered a quest. You can tell me when you want something to be a quest, and I will occasionally ask you if you want something to be a quest, but I will never railroad you into a quest. You can have more than one quest you are working on simultaneously. You can also give up on a quest at any time if it no longer fits in with your goals. You should not spend all of your in-game energies on quests--feel free to spend time just exploring and interacting with the world, too, and just do whatever strikes your fancy.ChaptersChapters will be equivalent to 'adventures' in some ways. Each chapter will have its own thread, and will end with the completion of a major quest, or during a major transition in the game. Because of the free-form nature of the game, it might not always be obvious when to end a chapter, and this decision will be a collaborative one between the DM and the players. The end of a chapter will serve as a point for the players to consider the 'adventure' successfully completed. The game will continue at that point with a new chapter, but players can choose to bow out at that point if they wish, and it will not disrupt the game as a whole.Any thoughts on this system?</blockquote>
