How Does It Work?

What is the Plot Exchange forum for?

The plot exchange forum is for those members who can very easily write up plots, or still have some plots lying around who aren't used, but you would love to see them made but don't have time yourself to manage/open an RPG.

In the plot exchange forum you can post these plots up if you want other people to use them to start up a forum with. There are some very specific rules for the use of this forum, for both Plot owners/submitters and people who are interested in taking up a plot and using it to make a forum. This only for the protection of both. Like this you can deal with exchanging a plot in a safe environment.

Topics will be archived a month after receiving no reply!

Guidelines for Plot owners/submitters

• With a plot we just mean a plot, not a board or anything else, a written story to base an RPG on.
• Plots should not be just a basic ideas, but be thought out properly. It can be both a written out story/plot, also with additional details on how the RPG might work etc.
• The plot must be written by the one who submits it.
• You must use the form provided below.
• When submitting a plot, check back on your topic occasionaly, we see that sometimes topic starters do not respond back if someone is interested in taking up a plot.

Guidelines for Interested members to take up a plot

• A plot can only be handed out once, when a plot is taken, and everything has been arranged between the plot owner and plot taker, the topic itself will be moved to a forum that is staff viewable only. After all, we don't like to see two or three RPG's with the same plot.
• You can only take a plot when the plot submitter has replied and said you can use it, not earlier. When you reply, it doesn't give you the right to take it.
• If the topic starter hasn't replied to your interest after a few days, you could always send a PM to express your interest.
• The plot owner decides if you can make additions/changes to the plot or not. So keep that in mind.
• You must credit the plot owner for the plot on the board that you make to run the RPG on.
• When you've taken a plot, also make the board, otherwise the whole point of the forum will be gone.
• Plots can't be used without the plots owner permission. Ripping won't be tolerated, and will result in an immediate ban!
