My friends in my SG have bugged me incessantly to post about this, so I'm hoping to put this here in the hopes of getting feedback and to get the arc out there for people to talk about in general.
"The Directive" is part of what I'd like to call an "arc-series". That is, rather than try to tell a whole story in one arc, tell the story over a series of arcs. Make it an ongoing, dynamic story that feels for episodic than one-shot. Admittedly, I can see that folks without much patience would feel that this is dragging things out too long, but I've gotten rave reviews, and the style seems to appeal to them (It feels like waiting for new episodes of a TV show).
The arcs themselves are level-tiered, so expect some exemplaring. The reason for this is because these were about the approximate level range that I was at when I wrote them, and as they were run ICly, it made sense to tier them according to that experience. Gives players a sense of progression as well. These arcs are also intended for whole groups, and are meant to be run at +0/x1.
There are currently four parts in all, and I would highly recommend a balance of ATs for a group. The villains of my story are quite challenging. I like to balance the story with the challenge of combat, and usually the final encounters of my arcs (the 'final boss' if you will) are usually the most satisfying parts (At least the feedback I got indicates as such), so expect to work for your prize.
If you want to search for them, simply type in 'The Directive' and it'll bring them up easily enough, no need to type out specific IDs.
