Plots (nWoD)
From Wod
What is your story about? According to Aristotle's Poetics, a plot is "the arrangement of incidents" that (ideally) each follow plausibly from the other. The plot is like the chalk outline that guides the painter's brush. An example of the type of plot which follows these sorts of lines is the linear plot of development to be discerned within the pages of a novel.
Plot is what the characters do. It's the main event of your chronicle. To create a plot think first in your Theme. Horror, Intrigue, Thriller, Romance, Adventure, the main story which will move the characters through the world of darkness, whether on a definite path or free reign. These are a few ideas to get you started and if you want to add yours plot feel free.
