[QUOTE="Redshirt, post: 6347687, member: 61199"] I had originally talked my friends into doing a one shot of the 5B rules a couple of weeks ago. While looking through the threads here I came across one in which someone posted that their old campaigns were so tough they started out dead in a ditch. A perfect mystery to start a short game. Then when one of my players was rolling up his elf wizard the part of the sage background about the letter from a friend got him to write up this long background (he loves to write) of an old friend who traded riddles for 20 years. One day his friend sends a letter that was total gibberish. Upon investigation he finds out the friend had died 2 weeks before the letter was sent. This was for a one shot game. (Love my players :D) Now they want to turn it into a campaign and we haven't even played once yet. So I have the party waking up on a battlefield with no knowledge of how they got there or who the other party members are. The wizard has a big mystery of his letter written by a dead friend. First game is Friday night. I have no idea where this is going to go but it'll to be a blast. [/QUOTE]
