OKAY THIS IS KIND OF LATE BUT I was chatting with another player and hmhm...
basically, if we want to stir up some major Darkness drama and make the Darkness a legit threat (which, lbr, it hasn't been for a while because things in Aather have gotten to a point where we OOCLY know we'll win?) maybe we could do that by having the heroes and knights lose ground?
Like, not necessarily LOSE-lose, but something along the lines of--having gotten ahead of the story or gotten turned around or lost the script of something? Like, it was mentioned during the Wonderland move! so maybe something like WHUPS SORRY YOU NEED TO LEVEL-GRIND COME BACK LATER WHEN YOUR POWERS OF FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE ARE AT A HIGHER POWER LEVEL or something like that...
Logistically, I don't know how that would work! But something about how we (the heroes ICly, not...the players...) messed up somewhere and the consequences of that and maybe find a way of getting back to the original plot/storyline of Following The Role vs Breaking Out Of It (which is a good thread to pick up post-Firebird game) and also maybe get back to the main story with Beauty and Mal--though some adjustments can be made so Personae with their own personal plots can play that out as well...
Or maybe adjust Personae plots to work with the main-plot rather than the other way around? I DID SEE that it was mentioned earlier, and also that more big-plot/Darkness puts more stress on the mods, but hmm... I know we have plot-mods now, but maybe if more Personae players knew more about the plot we could also work on adjusting things to work with it?
I dunno how many other Personae players are like me, but I had apped Mme White before the whole Personae Plot thing was a thing, so I had taken her from post-story, so she has no story left for me to engage the playerbase with beyond sharing her experiences. What I'd love to do is, then, to see how I can use her to further the main plot/ the Sleeping Beauty plot that Aather was founded on.
