[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9395083, member: 6684958"] Just to add: Just about all Role Playing takes forever, so you really want to avoid: Post 1 "the man in the cloak tells you to sit down." Post2 2-5 each of the players does a "my character sits down." Post 6 "the man in the cloak says 'do any of you know why I asked to see you today?' Posts 7-10 each of the players has their character say "no" Post 11 "A well, I have asked you here for a wondrous quest" You want to take a page from TV Writing/movie: Post one: "My name is Darl Lightbringer, cleric and lion knight of Torm the True. I have asked you here to help the cause of good in our darkest hour. The Chalice of Truth, a holy relic of Torm that can detect lies and unfaithful has been....misplaced. Well, stolen. Except no one know that part...for now. What i need is a group of hardy adventures with no direct connection to the Church to get it back. I can offer the free casting, no questions asked, of a single divine spell each, as payment. I'm sure people in your line of work can't pass up a free Raise Dead casting, humm? That is a huge exposition dump that just moves the game forward. And for shopping, never do "browse the shop", you want to do: "talk directly to the shopkeeper and say exactly and specifically what your looking to buy." [/QUOTE]
