[QUOTE="Rel, post: 4651461, member: 99"] Piratecat and his group almost certainly do this better than me. But I am finally running my first bona fide 4e campaign and I promised a few people that I'd post something about it. [B]This is not intended as a Story Hour[/B]. It is a chronicle of how I'm using the 4e ruleset (and my changes to it) in order to present this campaign world to the players. I'll be discussing where this worked, where it didn't and any emergent features along the way. Hopefully I can get my players to chime in as well. Before I get into how the first session ran, here are a couple of other relevant threads: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/244555-homebrew-setting-ill-use-d-d-4th-edition.html[/url] [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/244442-how-i-fixed-d-d-4th-edition.html[/url] Those are some details about the campaign setting I've cobbled together as well as my house rules respectively. Without further ado, allow me to introduce the characters: Zanne (pronounced Zah-nay) - Female Human Warlock (infernal pact) played by "Marcus" - Zanne hails from the Empire of Vond to the north.
