Staff Sponsored Plots Staff-Sponsored Playerplots represent a hybrid of a staff plot and a playerplot. With an SSPrP (as they're abbreviated), a staff member comes up with the master plot arc, and then breaks those up into subplots. A subplot is intended to be a single Shadowrun, claimed by a player and run for other players as a playerplot. HOWEVER, it's not subject to the same restrictions as the playerplot, since its overall flow and theme is supervised by a staff member. This means potentially higher payouts, plus the ability to participate in plots with a broader, theme-based scope.
