[QUOTE="thullgrim, post: 9587917, member: 8103"] I typically pick 4-5 things I’m interested in running. Then I put together an elevator pitch for each one with system, plot stuff, big ideas etc. I then have them rank their choices and send me their tallies privately. I don’t want one person driving the train. 9 times out of 10 I take the pitch that had the most votes, or the most first place votes. Once that piece is done we do Session 0. I don’t have to deal with X card and stuff, I’ve been playing with the same group for years and we’re pretty familiar with boundaries and what we’re comfortable dealing with. During the Session 0 I’m very upfront about what I want to get out of a given campaign and very transparent about things like advancement pace, gear, power level, playstyle for both system and narrative. If we’re all on the same page we’ll create characters as a group and go from there. [/QUOTE]
