I've got a few requests.  First off, I'm not going to place any limits on what your backgrounds are, other than that they're appropriate for 1st-level characters (ask me if you're unsure, but it should be pretty obvious.)  The thing is, I'd like you to agree amongst yourselves why you're travelling together - other than being total strangers that met at the tavern.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  You obviously can't include much that's setting specific, but if you decide that you're all in a city, I can give you specifics for those.  Wilderness - same situation.  The point is, I'm happy to run a game in any location, and I'd like you guys to decide where, through your character's histories.  Sound good?</blockquote>
