Plus a bonus of character-specific plot hooks for me to follow.Tonight I will be starting an Everway mini-campaign. The premise is that one of the more absent-minded gods has forgotten about a prophecy he made a century ago, and he needs a crew of adventurers to go make the prophecy happen. So each player will need to work out why they are taking this open-ended commitment from one of the rather less popular gods rather than just a regular spherewalking job.</blockquote>
