I’ll do it on monday!

Okay like I promised months ago, i’m going to post the main story.

First a summary then the plot points. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress. Also keep in mind I tried to be as general as I could in describing the story, so it may seem incomplete. Essentially the main story parallels the first player character’s story ie our main character John Thomas (but more about him later). In later posts when I start detailing the characters you’ll see how it all fits together. Each player will have a main plot and a subplot usually the main plot will reinforce the story’s main plot. The subplot will be just for the characters, but reinforcing their own main plot. For instance, the main story plot is to defeat the bad guy (classic stuff, read clische, I know but I like this stuff). The main character’s main plot involves figuring out why he’s not having a rockin’ magical vacation. his subplot revolves around rescuing a princess. How do they link? The princess is like a total babe, obviously John wants to rescue this hottie and perhaps win her heart. She in turn has information which helps them all understand why the resort has been run into the ground. This helps solve for John’s own main plot which is why he isn’t having a good time. This also serves the main plot because she fills in the details about this bad guy and what he’s doing.

Okay I want to put in a caveat here, I may have not remembered exactly what the plots and subplots were, according to how I was envisioning them or wrote them down. What i’m going to write in the following posts is going to be the actual story, that above was mainly an example of how these individual things support each other. Also i’m assuming anyone who reads this is not worried about getting spoilers of the story. This is primarily a development blog, so naturally most who read this should be developers. However I don’t mind that someone just happens to stumble on my blog. But now i’m getting off topic.

In an effort to keep this short, i’m going to put up the summery here, and put up the plot points in the next post.

So here it is - The summery:

Enchanted Lands is a magical vacation getaway. Situated in the lovely sunny nexus between worlds. Here the rediculously wealthy can indulge thier fantasies (get your mind out of the gutter, fairy tale type of fantasies, and get those naked faries out of your head this is going to be a family game). A true to life magic kingdom who makes it’s money on tourism has fallen on hard times. The story follows a band of adventurers as they restore peace to the kingdom as well as a positive cash flow.

Okay so maybe it’s not so great, but I like it.

In the next post i’ll be outlining the plot points of the overal story. Then in the future i’ll add the character descriptions.
