Format: Open Event

This is an experimental event format designed to allow for open exploration of a setting/event. The event plot will be more situational than linear, and will benefit from open collaboration. The primary feature of this format is one central thread with the opportunity for at-will branching threads.

The Open Event is a chance to participate in a loose central event, and/or further character development and side plots. Think of it as a combination of Downtime and Event.

Structure

1. The open event plot is loose. Characters can explore the city, or take part in a twist.
2. The premise and setting will be established in a central thread.
3. The central thread is also where action in a primary location will take place, like a plaza.
4. Writers may make their own branching threads, like if you want to explore another part of the city or settle in at a game of chess in the park.
5. The GM may periodically post in the branching threads to sync things up with the central thread, or provide twists.
6. Characters may move between threads.
7. Collaboration will be key. Let's keep an open dialog in Discord.
8. About each week, the GM will do a Discord summary to make sure all branching threads are coordinating in a fun way.

Just remember: this is an experiment. It's intended to be a chill format for characters to explore, decompress, or get into trouble. We'll all do our best to have fun, communicate, and be flexible.
