Event Recompense

[quewye]

I'm going to respond to a couple of these bits with my thoughts.

'Worse even is how select characters seem to get a LOT more event action than the general playerbase.' So make event requests. Literally nothing stops you. It's not like DMs create events and hand them out to select metagroups of players, these active players with clout as you put it? Are actively requesting events to progress their stories. Literally nothing stops other people. If people are asking for events and not getting them run, they should consider for a moment why that is. There's plenty of active DMs, and if you can't find one to run your event, it's likely that something about it doesn't appeal.

I think getting to app for 'dev items' is not how you solve a non-existent problem. If a DM cancels on you without good reason? Post about it, let other people know, and find a new DM. Free loot shouldn't be handed out.

My two cents.

I've actively requested development. I know people who have actively requested development. If a GM is friends with someone, they're a lot more likely to do it.

Example, my event was run by Chance. The time was set suddenly, then next week when I press for a clearer time it was cancelled for low attendance. A day after accepting ANOTHER event from Bruce with the SAME amount of people. The fact is, me saying this changes what? GMs will always leans towards people they know and have befriended. It makes your event development hang heavily on if you happen to know a GM or not.
