[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6712656, member: 413"] I'm getting the initial "campaign bible" typed up this weekend. I expect to have it done tonight or tomorrow evening. But one thing I will say to consider (I'm not forcing this on you...just a recommendation that you consider): A big part of the fun of the early part of the campaign is the horror and wonder that is the underdark. If it were me, I'd think about playing a character that is as alien to it as reasonably possible. Or one that has a good reason to want to leave it...at least for the time being. But do what's fun for you. I expect there to be some PC turnover (no...I'm not a killer DM...haven't killed a PC yet in 5e). So there will be opportunities to swap PCs in and out. It will be any PHB races/classes. Human variants are encouraged. Feats are allowed. Encumbrance and ration, water and ammo tracking will be a necessary part of the game early on (later it won't matter so much, I think and we'll drop that then). More in a bit hopefully. I'm in a hotel this weekend for my daughter's hockey tournament...so between games trying to get it done. I haven't thought about how many players above 4 I will take. Probably something north of 4, south of 9. [/QUOTE]
