Plot: Let Sleeping Dragons Lie/Involvement

On-Camera vs. Off-Camera Plot Participation

In this plot, players can participate in two different ways depending on their schedule and preferred play style:

On-Camera Participation This refers to scenes that happen live on the grid — Run-ins, investigations, meet-ups, confrontations, and similar RP moments. These scenes involve dialogue, interaction, and dramatic action. If something requires real-time IC choices or visible character involvement, it happens on-camera. These scenes will either be scheduled or arise naturally when multiple characters pursue the same lead.

Off-Camera Participation Off-camera actions are handled through +mail and rolls instead of live RP. Players can investigate, use Influences or magic, activate Backgrounds, research clues, question contacts, or send spirits/allies to gather intel — all without needing to attend a scene. These actions still uncover information and meaningfully affect the plot; they’re simply resolved asynchronously.

Both types of participation are equally valid and both contribute to the outcome of the plot. Off-camera participation is especially useful for players with limited availability or for follow-up progress between larger on-camera events.
