[QUOTE="Shadow at the Edge, post: 2812057, member: 19487"] [COLOR=DarkOrange]I believe it was at this point the DM sat back and realised it had taken months of real time to get the players to what he considered 'the beginning'. I wanted the group to really have something in common, and to hopefully actually work together and for common cause. To do this I had them start at -2 level, basically with virtually no skills, endurance or abilities, and made them live in abject terror for the first 8 game sessions or so as even a large mosquito was a dire threat to them. It seemed to work. They worked hard together, and even got really excited when they finally reached first level and were given a feat and a couple of extra skills. It was like a feast! Even though this entry to Yorathton is where many of the plots start to reveal themselves, the journey up to this point had not been wasted time. It was intended as a chance for the group to meet a few of the factions and groups who crawled over the surface of Anka Seth, so as to better be able to take sides or chose enemies later.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
