Recently I just printed off the traditional PDF Char Sheet. We haven't played the last two sessions. I was ordering some more player books and they just hadn't arrived in the mail yet, so I had them play the boardgame <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/34887/revolution" target="_blank">Revolution</a> that I got for Christmas. They liked it a lot, enough that I went and bought <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgameexpansion/67731/revolution-the-palace" target="_blank">the expansion</a>.Yesterday, one of the players couldn't show. Even worse, there was a 12 year old who was really enthusiastic about playing, but he doesn't know if he can make games due to arrangements with church/tutors/etc eating up his time. But, he wouldn't be the first kid who is an "every other weekend or whenever I show up" player. So far we've just made characters - a Deva Shaman, a Dragonborn Paladin of Helm, and a Rogue (haven't decided on race). Yay a healer!Currently I'm drafting up quests to keep them occupied/directed for the nest few sessions. Doing some preliminary planning so I don't run out of material. So far I have:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Investigate the location on the burned map.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hunt down and seek Vengeance on Arven the Priest.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Seek out the ashes of St. Corrad (a hero in the Helm church) and bring them back to Helm's Hold (the high temple).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Depose Stalker in Shadows*</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rescue Sanguine Orchid*</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(Possible) Take out the Iron Circle in Harkenwood.</li> </ul>The * relates to a sidetrek I'm prepping. I don't know if the Pcs will go along with it tho. A road travels through a twisted, dark wood, and on the way, they see a chest sitting out in the middle of a clearing beside the road. If they walk on, they find themselves walking in circles, passing this chest twice more. Knowing the thief, I'm sure he'll go for it. Inside the chest is a gnome, who asks them for help, as they clearly have the skills he needs. His Lady, the fey ruler of the forest, has been bound and captured by a mortal man (he has her in his villa, and has commanded her to Love him). In her absence, a twisted fey has claimed rulership of the forest. The gnome asks the PCs to depose him, and rescue his Lady. They don't have to do both.Sanguine Orchid is bound by an object that the thief has to steal from the Lord's safe (but what the other Pcs do during the theft, I donno). Once she's free, she asks them to go to the noble's vineyards and spread a curse that will rot his grapes on the vine and sour his bottled wines (this is where his money comes from, and will ruin him financially).  The possible relates to the adventure Reavers of Harkenwood; I'm debating if I want to use it.</blockquote>
