Quick and Dirty tutorial on how to use Plots

[Seregil]

I just made this this afternoon. A bit rough, but it should help new people who are less familiar with the tool.

• Part I: Introduction
• Part II: Creating the Plot
• Part III: Adding Content
  

UPDATE: I have updated the videos to get rid of the annoying hum. I also shortened the demon down to three videos.

Thanks Seregil. There was some good information in there. I purchased RW last week and yesterday was just thinking about how to use plots. It was the next area for me to investigate and your tutorial gave me some solid direction.

Regards.

No problem, it was my pleasure. I have to redo them after Christmas with a better microphone to lessen the humming in the background.

Nicely organized and easy to follow along. I like your pacing.

I've been entering module material so I'm actually starting with the Storyline and Scene structure then building the plot by linking those together on the Storyboard. It was nice to see your approach for brainstorming new plotlines using the Storyboard rather than my current "build the pieces and then link them together" approach.

Your linking of plots to subplots and back again was very nice. I've been building all the subplots but wasn't reconnecting them back into the big picture to create one storyline for all navigation. I'm betting that was in the manual that I didn't read....

Actually, I didn't read it either. I'm in IT, we only read manuals in dire, life threatening emergencies.

From a professional in IT to someone in IT, you're doing it wrong.
The professionals read the manuals in secret at night and just pretend
to have not read them. It makes us look way cooler.

No we don't... we read a third party book that tells us everything the manual wouldn't tell us, at home so only the family can see what we are doing. We also tend to play with the software until we break it.
