Hello all,
Lately I've been noticing people want to speed through plots, not give them time to organically grow and come together. Which makes me sad, because there's times where it would be neat, to RP out the nuances of getting research together, getting items needed, setting up a plan of action, combing over tomes etc.Â
It feels most people in my experience, want to present their problem, and look for a quick fix, rather than taking the time to let the fix come together. It makes me sad because some of these stories have so much potential.Â
Does anyone have any organic ways to slow down plots with others? Outside of breaking character to go "Hey we should slow down." I've not had much success with getting people to organically slow down. I've tried presenting more research is needed, suppressants for magical problems to tide them over while we try to do more etc. But it seems other than breaking character not many people get that hint.
So have any of you found had this happen, and have you had any luck extending a plot completely IC without having to break character and explaining why you should slow down?

Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
