That's a viable option, I suppose. Get rid of embodiments, plots about supermassive balls of darkness killing everyone, etc and make the focus of the RP more on the characters, and planets, and such.

Not necessarily get rid of Embodiments...Just stop the plot from focusing on them. SP by now is about the Empires, and the Memberbase's characters. I'm not suggesting to kill off any existing characters, just a shift in the spotlight. But yeah, focus on the Mortal Plane, where...Y'know...Everything goes.

I don't see why we can't just simplify the lore for people, and build plots not around it. Why do we have to get rid of things to fix things? I don't see the problem with what we currently have if we just fix it up.

Where do we even begin to start? What's the most redeeming, attracting feature about Shattered Planes?

That it's a free-for-all and you can do nearly anything and don't have to follow the main story.

The fact that anyone can have a powerful empire, build it up, and make characters for their empires, their friend's empires, or even entirely standalone and create their own plots based around such? Y'know, that sort of stuff, I should think.

Okay, great. Now what do we do with the 50 pg plot topic, the Ingrounded and Dimension charts, etc? We still need a story, right? Only, one that's controlled by the members. Do we keep focus on the entire Mortal Dimension, or just one or two galaxies?

I'd say Mortal Dimension we can still have some focus on advanced stuff, just don't make it the main focus. What's wrong with the charts? People don't have to read them unless it affects them. Like Logan as using Ingrounded powers, otherwise he wouldn't have had to care about the Classes of Existence.

Dimensions... give your basic explanation before. The whole how they work thing with all that between stuff should only be pointed out if they need to know it for something they're doing.

Magic, I will simplify. I gave Jeebus a simplified version before, I'll go find that log so you can use it in a guide.

The plot... Can't you just summarize the main events that need to be known and the rest leave as fluff for interested people? That's what I said before when  asked you to make the Indepth plot topic, a full out version and a summarized version.

Basically, what Eve Online did, is that they gave the players complete control of the game... Staff is only there to referee and regulate. Thats it. Eve introduces certain aspects of space ownership, and players creating the global economy, that would make SP alot better. We need to make this into a game that focuses less on War, and more on the more important aspects of building an empire.

A game that rewards you as much for other things than warmongering does. Just a thought.

I like the sound of this, but I think we should do this by lowering the number of boards as well, down to one or two galaxies.
