And you want to help everyone make characters, approve their backstory or character concept, and help players build connections between their characters. The most deflating thing you can do to a young campaign is spend 3-4 hours doing the book keeping of a game and start play with a vague notion of what you are going to do. Instead, get the book keeping out of the way, prepare a scenario thoroughly, and start off with a big bang that sets the tone for the whole campaign. There will be time later to slow down and explore, but your first session should make some sort of statement, in the way that the first page of a novel hooks in the reader.</blockquote>
