Hi, I'm EDM Plotter. A Plotter is a computer printer for vector graphics, and the E stands for Evil, Epic, Eldritch, Elusive, European, or Etcetera...
Timezone: Central European Time
Most events will be scheduled for European evenings. Occasionally, I will do sporadic plot events during other times.
I will mostly focus on pre-planned plots, but may also do random spice, both in dungeons and elsewhere. Quests will generally have a level cap below 20, and may have some competitive elements where characters may possibly come into conflict with each other.
Major plots will often be closely linked to, and may expand upon, official source lore. The tone of such plots will be serious, often morally ambiguous, with emphasis on choice and consequence.
Sometimes there may be "permanent death potential", where your character gets a chance for an awesome ending to their story. An example of an awesome ending might be to become an undead NPC boss in a dark swamp tower, or sacrificing yourself to save the world, and getting a statue as a reward. This will never be forced, and can only happen if you are comfortable with it. If you're uncomfortable with permanent death, just let me know. If you are comfortable with this, and may even be looking for a way to end your character, do let me know as well.
Optional: Extra Painful Plotter Plot
If you find yourself in one of my plots, and want to make your experience morepainful personal, please send me a PM with the information requested below. You don't have to answer everything if you're not sure, or want to leave things open. You can always fill in more details over time. I cannot promise to what extent the information will be used, but it will increase chances for a more personal experience.

If you find yourself in one of my plots, and want to make your experience more
- Name, race, (expected) classes, level, alignment, ability scores, and any notable skills and feats.
- A brief overview of their backstory. A summary, not a short story. Important events that shaped them to what they are today.
- Flaws: psychological and/or moral weaknesses. A psychological flaw is something that hurts your character (like a fear of snakes, or self-doubt), while a moral flaw is a psychological flaw taken so far it may hurt others ("we should burn down this forest to be sure there are no snakes, and kill anyone who's ever been bitten by a snake!") Typically, a morally flawed character may lean towards neutral or evil, so don't worry if your good aligned character doesn't have a moral flaw (but they certainly may). Another approach for a moral flaw can be to give your character a strength instead of a psychological flaw, and make them so passionate about it, that it can hurt others. If you think of other kinds of flaws, that's fine too, as long as it's something that balances your character's strengths with weaknesses. If your character has physical flaws you may list those too.
- Desires: This can be specific short or long-term goals (take revenge on someone), or more open ended goals (spread the faith), or what they generally want in life (friendship, respect, wealth). At this time I do not accept requests for personal quests outside of my ongoing plots, but your character's desires may still be a part of a greater plot. You don't need to have a specific goal in mind, but it's good to have at least a general idea of what your character wants or likes in life. After all, more specific goals may come with the plot.
- Send a PM if your character's flaws and desires change. Please keep updates about your character to the same PM.
