for review in this thread.
So, you're a player (or a group of players) and you've developed a story arc together that you'd like to record for the history of all time? Are you looking to get more people involved? Would you like to make sure everyone interested can follow along? Then this is the place for you.
Our lovely Lore Book now has a lovely spot for Player Storylines, and in order to get yourself up on the wiki in all of your narrative glory, below are the submission templates. There is both a mixture of MediaWiki code and HTML/CSS, so if you are uncomfortable with this, there is also a plaintext version that you can submit so an admin can set up your storyline on the wiki for you.
Below are the current templates for submitting your Player Storylines, all coded and ready for posting in the Wiki after approval. If the code intimidates you, please use the plain text version.
The basics of what you need to know to successfully create a Player Storyline are as outlined below:
Storyline Title: This should be the 3-word title of your story arc
Storyline Status: Open, PM to Join, Closed
Storyline Activity: Active, Inactive, Finished, On Hold, etc.
Storyline Locations: Where does the story take place? Multiple locations can be listed separately, divided by a comma.
Plot Summary: Summarize your story in as many paragraphs as you need. This part can be updated as necessary.
Who is Involved: List all characters (PCs and NPCs) involved, give a 1-2 sentence blurb about their involvement, and link to the PCs' character sheets, please.
How to Get Involved: Are you looking to get more players involved? If someone wanted to jump in on your story, how would they do that? What do you need to continue this plot further?
Code: Select all
