But what one needs to not forget is that people join a quest and get involved at a certain level, perhaps even so involved that they become a critical aspect of success on the quest. Furthermore information is usually learned in a progressive manner and people learn how to work together and get to know each other. |
I dont want this to be taken as a attack, lets look at it as a debate.
What you stated above is true of most quests and I stated that in my first post in this thread. But for a plot quest what this equals is exclusion. Everyone who wants to be part of a plot quest should have a chance to do so. That is one of the great things about Layo, everyone gets to shape the world.

Now what I am trying to say is that even though I appreciate people being unshelfish to bow out of a quest, this might well lead to information being lost or even a quest being failed. We all know everyone wants to be involved in plot quests and everyone cannot necesary be, but I think rotating positions on a plot quest could very well be detrimental to the overall outcome of the quest.

Everyond should have the opportuniy to be a part of it if they wish to be.

With that in mind everyone need to make up their own mind if they are needed on a quest and will make a positive contribution. The plot quest is not about getting XP (and that is not a stab at anyone) but rather of doing something that will impact the world in a large way. And unfortunately not everyone can be part of the important event. But everyone can have an impact in other ways (and here I mean possible side quests that will be run which will impact the main quest).

Most of us understand that plot quests are not about XP but about being part of the changing force that shapes the world. But I feel that everyone can and has something to contribute to the main quest.
As a parting thought:
If it comes down to a who's hands should this be in (and I know I will get slammed hard for saying this) I hope it is new group of PCs (majority new) that leads this and not just the same PCs that led the last one. I am sure there will be plenty of side quests that will need them.
