In addition, I will probably hassle you for a really challenging rival clan, whose dimensions and leader you'll need to invent, and I suspect you'll need at least one really evil, truly despicable bad guy on each continent to move the plot along.<br/>After I get my person and my clan sorted out, I'd be happy to help you with minor folks; usually, major ones sort of -have- to fall to the GM to create. <pats your back gently.> It's a lot of work running a whole world. But so satisfying!<br/><br/>As for sub plots for Paramnar, don't let it distress you that there are fewer plots brewing there; it is a more rigid world, which means all plots must be more carefully balanced, and in addition you've had only one PC, who is sort of a GM second, as well, so that free flowing plots are likely to move a bit slowly. But I'll give you LOTS to work with here, which will help, and we can try to coax one or two more for each side; I find 3 – 4 players is ideal, usually, in terms of lots of interaction (they can always chat to each other while the GM is busy rolling, thinking and writing) and they will inspire each other, too! Its nice when characters are self-starting and have ideas of what they want and where they wish to go.<br/><br/>Ah, magic! I love magic. But yes, indeed, your world is very richly detailed – I can see why you needed to put in limits! We might want to eventually develop a board JUST for making characters, where we pare down the initial choices and put them in very clear order, with the unusual words used in deciding upon character creation decisions defined right in the text … but that must wait until we've made 10 or 15 characters and really know the essential questions and can make short, concise tables that delineate each common option … <stops> <sheepish smile> <clears throat><br/><br/>I will be happy to help you both with plots and stories. Please feel free at any point to tell me no, or to remind me its -your- world!<br/>
