[QUOTE="Anax, post: 2637941, member: 19868"] That sounds about right by my reckoning of what’s been said. Note that if we’ve all been involved with work for Lord Alistair before (which it sounds to me like drothgery is aiming for?) there’s the potential that we’ve all made at least a passing acquaintance with each other by now. I’ve mentioned Xxxx (and yes, that’s a placeholder) and Oswin because I have ideas of interactions past “People I once met in the hall after talking with Lord Alistair”. I get the feeling that drothgery wants to avoid initial intra-party distrust, and some reason for us to be familiar with each others’ abilities. (I myself find that this is always a good thing to aim for.) On the other hand, I think that there’s more leeway here than there might be in a more traditional setup... If we’re all acquainted with Lord Alistair, we already have reason to trust individuals he might introduce us to. There is, of course, always the chance for secret backgrounds to come up during the course of play—and I think it’s clear that this is going to happen in this campaign, somewhere along the line. But that’s different from “several adventurers meet in a tavern, instantly become bosom friends, and rush off to slay evil together.” :D That’s one reason I absolutely want to have some personal history and like for Xxxx, too. Whee. Anyway, I’d love to add more detail to my acquaintance with anybody else. I’m just a lot less sure of what folks besides Oswin and Xxxx are like—and I feel like I’ve probably already trod on enough toes in suggesting Hari’s past interactions with those two as it is. (Like I said before, I tend to be a bit pushy with my ideas, so please do push back if you don’t like something I’ve suggested.) [/QUOTE]
