It might be better to create a new story rather than just using the original one and having people insert their characters into it. Developing a "system"(stat-based or not) regarding the skills, arcana and fated encounters(which could be used as sub-arcs) could also help.

I did the 'original story' thing thrice already and had as much interest as this one. Besides, if I did that the players would meet [i]none[/i] of the Chain Chronicle characters if my plot writing skills is to be considered.

But thanks for the advice. I'll certainly think about all that you said.
