 On Project Multiverse, **Plots** are collaborative stories told by a group of players with one (or more) player/s in charge of what happens next. They are not the only way to tell a story, but many enjoy the structure they provide. On Project Multiverse, **Plots** are collaborative stories told by a group of players with one (or more) player/s in charge of what happens next.

-A plot can have one or more players.+A plot can have one or more players. Plots are often led by a [[primer#the_role_of_the_game_master|Game Master]], but any players are free to write together without having a particular person in charge.
  
-==== Game Masters ====+==== Plot Canon ====
  
-We call the person in charge of a plot a Game Master (GM). The GM is responsible for keeping the plot moving, managing the experience of the players within the plot, and making sure that their plot works within the setting it takes place within. +Plots aren't considered truly canon without the signoff of a related Shard Master or staff. This doesn't mean they didn't happen, only that other characters might treat it as hearsay, legends, or tall tales until they're more officially canonized.
- +
-Anyone can be a GM at any time. There is no formal application process. It's as easy as starting a story. Outside of the stories they lead, GMs have no special powers or responsibilities within the community. +
- +
-Should a GM want to stir up interest or make a common place for their players to chat, we encourage them to use [[https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403205878423-Threads-FAQ|threads]] in our #plot-threads channel on Discord.+
  
 +This lets players have the flexibility to be as creative as they'd like with their stories, without worrying about ensuring that they fit into any larger narratives. Most stories, even the ones with world-shattering consequences, don't impact the setting as a whole.
