PLOT SUGGESTIONS
◉ NAVIGATION ▼
If you have a plot, or even just an idea for a plot to suggest to the mods, please feel free to drop it here. You don't have to plan on hosting that plot yourself; if it's something you'd be interested in seeing in Ryslig, it could give us a good idea for a mod-run event in the future. We welcome all your creative thoughts, to help us continue to give the game playful angles!
If you'd like to run a player plot of your own, please don't worry too much about any lore leading up to it. You can just detail the effects of the event to us. From there on, we can work backwards to ensure there's a suitable inciting incident.
You may use a sock account if you wish to remain anonymous. The reason that we ask you to provide a sock is so we can contact you about your plot in private if necessary. This is to maintain a sense of suspense while keeping things unscreened.

I'm here to talk about Monster Swap 2024. I'm not sure if you're holding to the previous traditions of alternating fourth wall/monster swap years, but if you're interested, I'd love to help kick off the monster swap event for next year.
My idea is:
a) Javert is assembling a Fog Force that's like a totally gayer version of the Space Force, and also out to kick Elias in the shins
b) This Fog Force is inevitably going to start planning out a way to strike back and knock Elias down a peg
c) find some volunteer fourth followers/priests/whatever, bring them to Dyster, and siphon their powers one by one, shifting the 'battery' source from one follower to the next as Elias catches on and cuts off his boons
d) Fog gets beefy and slurps up some of that good elias juice and monster swaps happen
What's the catch, and what makes this monster swap different from previous iterations?
If we're running with the idea that the Fog is temporarily made Dominant and Elias is repressed, it would significantly dampen any fourth-related aesthetics and the peninsula will suffer a long blackout. Radios and electronics will not work. The Network continues to exist but does not run on electricity; instead, monsters may now temporarily communicate telepathically, like how all Fourth Priests communicate with their mind.
This also means we can include a thoughtshare event along with the monster swap.
I'd also favor increasing the need to feed to once per day during the fog while the monster swap is in effect. Beefier fog, more powers to impart hunger, more vengeance and anger. I'm trying bat around more ideas in my head about how to make this one a little bit different, but obviously, i'm in the SUPER EARLY stages of figuring this out, and I haven't quit pinpointed what else I can add just yet.
I'm open to more ideas and I'm seriously just plot noodling at the moment, but this feels like an appropriate way to kick off a Monster Swap that takes the burden out of the mods' hands.
Let me know your thoughts and feelings. Happy to switch around the mechanism as needed.
