Mod & Plot Requests
Hello Drylanders!
Today we’re going to talk a little bit about Mod & Plot Requests in Oasis. You’ll want to submit these requests when you need/want ST interaction in some part of your character’s story or mechanics. Mod & Plot requests require at least 1 month’s notice to prepare and may take longer, depending on our team’s logistical and scheduling concerns.
Examples of when use of this form would be appropriate are:
Professional Focus Achievement(PFA) requests
Personal Plot Requests
Action Requests for Skills
You can use our Mod & Plot Requests Form to submit your requests. I’ll go into these different types of requests covered by this form with more detail below.
Professional Focus Achievements(PFA) Requests
The DR Rulebook describes the process of Earning Professional Focus Achievements on pg 144. In short, PFA Requests are for when your character has spent at least 100xp, has at least Proficient level in the skill, has 10 xp available to spend, and you want ST interaction to provide narrative and story to the process.
Personal Plot Requests
These types of requests are for when you’d like some specific story to happen with your character in-game. This could involve some element of your backstory, or an aspect of Oasis you want more interaction with. You can specify if you want other players/characters to be involved in/invited to the mod. These mods generally grant no special mechanical benefit, but are a way to get a cool story told for you and your friends. You can submit for a Personal Plot Request with or without the added cost of 75 CAPS, but requests that include the CAPS expenditures will be given priority.
Action Requests
Page 13 in the DR Rulebook describes Action requests as:
A number of skills require communication between the event team and a participant before an event occurs. These skills may influence the direction of story, create specific scenes that guides will then organize, or require a certain degree of planning.
Skills that require Action Requests include (but may not be limited to):
Master Criminal Influence (pg. 122)
Master Financial Influence (pg. 123)
Master Hunting (pg. 130)
Master Sailing (pg. 131)
Proficient Necrokinetics (pg. 135)
