[QUOTE="deganawida, post: 9049450, member: 67836"] 6/19/23 session 0 Good grief, am I glad I went with BECMI, because this is even more freeform than I was expecting of them. It would absolutely [I]NOT[/I] work in a more detailed system because they were bouncing off of race and class rules and expectations like crazy. We rolled up the characters last night and allowed The Mrs. and The Eldest to get to know each other. The Mrs: BECMI Halfling class, roleplayed as a kender who is like a tinker gnome as far as building stuff goes, and who is a seamstress. She's roleplaying the latter, saying she can build anything, but can't promise that it will work. She's also in search of "bougie butterfly silk" in order to make the perfect gown. Character name: Coco Van Straw. The Eldest: OSE Gnome class, roleplayed as a 2" tall gnome who is delivering mail and thinks every recipient is named, "Greg." Apparently, this inspired by some game she's playing on Steam. Character name: Lemon. The Youngest: A..."swamp goblin"...thing. I built it like a modified Halfling class as a Goblin, but darned if this isn't something weird. She drew it on her iPhone, and it looks like an albino Gollum with a rat tail that has a glowing tip. Character name: Moss Eater. Starting village: Threshold Lemon has wandered into town to deliver a package to "Greg", and when asking townspeople for "Greg", one of them thought she said, "Bargle,", and cautioned her about Bargle, the outlaw supposedly in the area. Coco Van Straw was performing a fitting when the village lady for whom she was doing the fitting started gossiping about rumors that Bargle had fled Specularum and was seen in the area. Given the first encounter in the solo adventure, which I'm adapting, is with a goblin, I spoke to the Youngest about using that to introduce her to the group. Moss Eater the...swamp goblin...thing is sent by her tribe to go, "take a short walk off the creek and get a fish,", which led to her being lost (this is what The Youngest came up with). She ends up in caves outside of Threshold, where she encounters a mysterious, cloaked man who offers her shelter. And after this setup, they wanted to end. Everything is set up for them to have this first adventure, then see where things go. [/QUOTE]
