\section{Introduction}
\thispagestyle{empty}

\subsection{Abstract}
This document contains rules and guidelines for the designers of Adonthell's 
plot. It does \textbf{not} contain any information about the actual plot. It 
just deals with ways to create an interesting plot that adds to the overall 
gameplay and replay value of Adonthell. 

The first few sections deal with the main plot line, side quests and NPCs. The 
last part of the document deals with everything needed to put the plot to 
paper, including a short introduction to the \texttt{dot} tool.

Although some parts of this document are purely Adonthell-specific, it might be 
worth a read for everybody interested in the creation of role playing games. If 
you plan to help with Adonthell's plot however, please read the entire 
document. It will set you on the right track and answer many of the questions 
you might have. In brief: RTFM ;-).

\subsection{Obtaining and Distributing}

  \section{Documenting the Plot}
+ \thispagestyle{empty}
  In the previous sections we've seen rules and guidelines on how to design the 
plot. The remainder of this document deals with putting it to paper; so please 
read on if you are working on an ``official" game.

  \section{The {\tt dot} Tool}
+ \thispagestyle{empty}
  This section introduces a program that greatly simplifies the creation of the 
dependency graph. Read on if you ever plan to work on that.

  \section{Main Plot}
+ \thispagestyle{empty}
  
  In this section we have a closer look at the plot. How it is composed and how 
it should look like. A thought we'll have to keep in mind all the time is that 
\textit{the player should drive along the plot, not vice versa}.

  \section{NPCs}
+ \thispagestyle{empty}
  
  Here we discuss some guidelines for designing non player characters. As a 
rule of thumb, NPCs should have the same options the player has and vice versa.

  \section{Side Quests}
+ \thispagestyle{empty}
  
  In this section we deal with plot elements not directly connected to the main 
storyline. We find out how they differ from the main plot and how they can be 
designed.
