And I explicitly left lots of plot details that weren't of immediate/obvious importance in the first act as undefined to flesh out with the players. This is part of what I wrote:"I'm going to be putting background details about your characters in your hands as much as you are comfortable.For example, I have no pre-determined pantheon, so if you want to play a worshiper (cleric or otherwise), we can flesh out who you worship together. Want a compassionate god of the dead? Check. Unsure if you want a kind goddess of hearth, home and community or a strict taskmaster of civilization as your nemesis? We'll talk it out. Is the moon a comforting symbol of womenhood or the ever-watching eye of the shadowy god of secrets?And this goes for more than that.  Want a knightly order, a hermit mentor, a wizard academy, or a thievely guildmaster of street urchins right out of Dickens?  We can work it out. "So after the standard Session 0 stuff we start talking about characters.  One person is planning on playing a halfling druid.  And be busts out with:"In some editions, druid worship nature gods, in others just a nebulous 'nature' - where do they get the power?  You talk about the moon got me thinking.  What if the moon is the skull of a decapitated god.  And the continents are just parts of it's mangled body floating in the seas."We had a lot going on, including people hitting on big things that would impact some of the stuff I'd written - but would work in very nicely, perhaps better than what I originally had.In the end, everyone left inspired and with details of their character to work out, and I stayed up until Dark O'Clock in the morning writing up notes from the session so I don't drop any.All in all a very successful session 0, and bodes well for the first play session of the campaign.</blockquote>
