[QUOTE="wsclark, post: 746, member: 97"] This thread contains the chronicle of my mostly weekly Thursday night gaming group. We are starting out with the Coin Trilogy of Adventures from Kenzer & Co. so I'll mention these two things right up front. One, these posts will contain spoilers, so read them at your own risk. Second, some of the information contained herein is copyrighted Kenzer & Co. and it's use is solely intended for background information and in no way represents an intent to infringe on that right. I am not trying in any way to step on that copyright and if it is necessary, I will remove the portions contained in the posts. That being said, here is some background information on the group itself. The group consists of six players. Three of these players are from a bi-monthly group I run (we were playing in Greyhawk but have since moved to Kalamar at the beginning of September.) The other three are people whom I contacted over the internet who were looking for a group in my area. Of the group, four are long time players of D&D while the other two are very new (my wife and one of the players girl friend.) I decided to use the standard method for generating ability scores. The only difference was I allowed each player to produce three sets of scores instead of one. They could choose which set to use first, with the other two as backups for additional characters, just in case. Our first session together was basically for the group getting together for the first time (I had met with everyone individually before hand to at least make sure that they would understand my expectations and style of play and vice versa) to generate their characters and to come up with how the adventuring group formed (I wanted the players to have a lot of input in this area.) So, we spent about two hours generating the characters and then started to come up with background information for them. We are currently meeting weekly on Thursday nights for 2 1/2 to 3 hour sessions. So far, we have met a dozen times. You will sometimes notice changes in tone and style in some of the session logs. This is because I ask each player to take a turn at writing up the log each week, with the detail from their characters perspective. This helps me out in that I don't have to take notes all the time, it serves as a refresher for what happened the previous week and puts a different spin on what happened because of the different points of views. The next several posts will contain the stat blocks of the various characters followed by the session logs. [/QUOTE]
