[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 4168617, member: 63746"] Well said, Shayuri. Yours truly didn't quite manage to word it as clearly as I'd hoped, it seems. :( But yes, I don't advocate an entire campaign based around the camp. I *do* think the camp is what binds us together initially so we need to get that piece of real-estate firmly caught up in the gears of fate so it can drag all of us along with it when it goes (how's that for a metaphor? :). So, in the initial idea I saw us moving from "saving the camp's finances", to "avoiding human-elf war" to "unmasking the warmongers" to etc. That last one can send us out to anywhere in the realms, depending on who the perpetrators are and what means are neccessary to defeat them. Put another way, I think our wandering about the setting needs some sort over-hanging goal, a large problem which the PCs are free to solve as they wish. To set up that goal we do need a bit of a scripted first adventure though, to bind the PCs together and make the problem *theirs*. I think it would be very interesting play, perfect for low levels like us, but if you don't want to roleplay that first adventure (it's not what you had in mind, etc), then we could always create the adventure collectively, put it all in our equally collective backgrounds and skip ahead to the point in time where the problem opens up before us, possibilities endless : "discuss means amongst yourselves, worthy adventurers".
