[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 177947, member: 913"] Here's one that happened last night. We are starting a new campaign, set in Freeport. Here's a rough transcript of the conversation that transpired after my arrival. My character is one I had been contemplating for more than a year. Someone: "So, what are you going to play?" Me: "A human conjurer. His name is Faust, and he summons demonic creatures." Bill: "You bastard!" Me: "Huh?" Bill: "You're serious?" Me: "Uh, yeah. Why?" Bill: "When did you come up with this idea?" Me: "I've had it for a long time. WHY?" Bill: "I was going to play a character named Faust, too. He's human, he's a conjurer, and he summons demonic creatures. I was talking to John about it this afternoon." John: "Yeah, he was" John is staring wide-eyed in disbelief. I pull out three previous versions of Faust I had written up in the last year. Through some bizarre coincidence, Bill and I had both hit on exactly the same character concept, and we both had chosen to spring him at the exact same moment. There was much amazement, but in the end we found a solution. "Group, I'd like to introduce you to the brothers Faust, Heinrich and Vokos." :) [/QUOTE]
