Obviously, the character is a great fit for the campaign, both from an "exploring the new world" aspect and from the "big-ass dungeon crawl" aspect. We probably could have started play tonight if it hadn't been for a last minute schedule change on the part of the dwarven Warrior's player, but next week we'll definitely get to the actual play (sorry for the delays folks). Character gen went well (again), but given how easy it is, most of the time was spent getting acquainted with the new player (sharing anecdotes about gaming, etc). One thing that did come about tonight is that I've firmly decided to simply play encumbrance by ear. Here's the deal -- True20 has some great ideas, but lacking weapon weights on the equipment lists, the encumbrance system as it currently exists is next to useless unless the Narrator goes through said lists himself and assigns specific weights to each item. I got into True20 to get away from such minutae in prep so for the time being, unless a character is trying to strap an iron chest to their back, they're good in my book <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
