Player Run Plots are a welcome and desired series of events on this Mush. When we speak of Player Run Plots we're speaking of any adventure or IC event that involves at least two or more players in addition to the one running the scene. This can be anything from an emitted scene of a bar room brawl to a dungeon crawl. The system is set up in a way to encourage spontaneous plots as well as pre-planned scenarios with minimal fuss with the staff. In short, if you have an itch to run a player run plot, for the most part you're allowed to do so. There are some restrictions and guidelines in place to help keep a healthy mush atmosphere and there are also rules in place for plots that can be pre-approved for more elaborate adventure and awards. If this is your first time running on Tenebrae, check out our Plotrunner's Guide.

Standard PrPs

Type A Plots

Standard Player Run Plots require at least two individuals plus the scene runner. Tenebrae has a system of trust that allows any willing and capable player the ability to run a Player Run Plot without having to get the plot idea pre-approved. Player Run Plots are not meant to be complicated scenarios or scenes on the scale of what Dungeon Masters sometimes deal with.

Player Run Plots are not Death Consent: Meaning that Player Run Plots cannot result in the death of a player. If a Player reaches 0 HP, the Plot Runner is expected to presume the player is .near death.. Or that they will .stabilize. after the main scene is over with. Plot Runners who design scenarios that cannot be won or that are logically impossible to deal with may be in risk of a breach of conduct.

Player Run Plots are only worth 'half' experience value due to the lack of Death Consent. This essentially means that when exp for the scene is calculated, it is then cut in half and that is the value awarded to participants.

A Player Run Plot is restricted to 2 encounters with no single encounter level being more than +2 the Average Party Level. This rule exists because we are aware that our races and characters are somewhat tougher then more 'average' D&D worlds and so some things must be kept in mind to maintain a challenging atmosphere. However, if a Player Run Plot DM has an idea that requires they exceed this basic restriction, they should contact staff first and work out the details with them.

When a Player Run Plot is completed, the Plot Runner has the responsibility of editing and cleaning the log and then submitting a message to the Plot Queue that a PRP is ready for review. When a Dungeon Master collects that queue, they will request the log be sent to an email that has been predetermined. Please be see Submitting PrPs, below, for how to submit a PrP.

Submitting PrPs

To submit a PrP, send in a +request to the PrP section. Be sure to include the following:

• Character levels at the time of scene
• DC on/off
• CRs of encounters

Once submitted, the staffer will contact you about submitting the PrP, or you can include a link to the file in the +request (please see submission formats, below).
