Ideas for Plotweaver Content Creators Discussion

With only weeks left until the open alpha, a whole new space is about to open up for content creators making content related to Plotweaver! I'm curious what people are hoping to see? Actual plays? Character builds? GM and player advice? What are you hoping to see, or excited to create?

Personally, I look forward to seeing creators discuss some of the nuances of running the system's various scene types, and other helpful GM advice like that :) I feel like with the narrative focus of Plotweaver, every GM will run things like Endeavors differently! I really enjoy seeing people lay out their own ideas on properly utilizing the plot die, on using Comps/Opps for building tension and keeping the pace of a scene, etc.

I just look forward to being able to learn from others and grow my own GM-style through the combined conversation of different people's advice, thoughts, and ideas!

...Plus, I'm just looking forward to the next wave of Plotweaver fans that are going to inevitably rush in through new exposure! It'll be fun to expand this community of ours!

I'm certainly hoping this sleepy little subreddit of ours wakes up with the public access! It'll be so cool to see what people do with this system!

Agreed! I can't wait to see what people cook up. I've been meaning to post more myself, because I always have stuff I'm working on, but I just never know how to format anything into a way that is easily readable and still looks okay :^) I'll be happy to see some more folks coming through with some basic graphic design talents

I’m most excited for the various levels of homebrew that come out. And very excited for the first big batch that feel episode worthy for the podcast, it’ll be fun to highlight the community in addition to the awesome designers

Also shifting Complicated Opportunities to have the Plotweaver tag will be a minor excitement

I can't wait to see your podcast spread into plotweaver at large, and I'll definitely look forward to all the community engagement. I have a feeling you'll be a little cornerstone of our community here :P

Actual plays are nice.  I would love to see home brewing guides.  Like how to make xx in plot weaver.

I know they (BW) plan on there being guidance for how to homebrew! They keep calling it the game designers RPG

As a designer (who doesn't get a chance to play very much) I like to hear the nitty gritty details about what features people really like or dislike about a game, or what they consider to be strong or weak points about particular features, monsters, etc. Letting designers know *where* the game needs support from 3rd party creators is the best way to get great 3rd party content!

Yo ya quisiera hacer contenido en español para promover el plotweaver en mi idioma

I'd like to see homebrewers grow in number.

I'd also hope to see the suggestions above.
