[QUOTE="texred, post: 6055953, member: 6696299"] I've been the GM for our group going on three years now, I think, perhaps four. We started up with Gamma World, which was fun, but a bit shallow. After that we moved into 4e and good times were had. I eventually got sick of building encounters and lost the thread of the campaign after the holiday break. We picked back up with Dragon Age, which didn't resonate with us, then a quick run through Low Life. After getting sick of the balance in Low Life I started looking for something to run and knew it would likely be 4e. That's when I stumbled upon Zeitgeist, and we switched over. Our party is the Section 9 unit of the RHC. We did a little collaborative story telling before we started up to fill in the back story for the characters, which I may post at some point. Anyhoo, here is the group. I'll start posting reports with my commentary later. [B]Erik[/B] - Dwarven Fighter Erik came to Risur attempting to find a new home that wasn’t dominated by the Escatol philosophy of his nation. He fought in the Fourth Yearsol War, and his military experience has inspired the RHC team to look to him as the leader of the group. [B]Jak[/B] - Minotaur Barbarian The hot-headed minotaur from Ber, Jak has gotten herself into a bit of trouble with the RHC. The first investigation the team was put together for ended with Jak running a foreign dignitary through with her greatsword, in defiance of Erik’s orders. [B]Lorenzo[/B] - Human Monk Lorenzo, the silent monk with a deep sense of justice and a thirst for strong drink. Something deeply affected Lorenzo in the past, but the details may be lost in silence. [B]Quinn[/B] - Human Druid Quinn is a human druid with an unflinching devotion to the crown. He trusts his fellow RHC officers, but is unsure of how much he can trust the hot-headed minotaur. [B]Remington[/B] - Genasi Warlord Remington is an oddity. Lines of power glow on his shrouded face, which is a curiosity. He’s impulsive, and quick with a gun. A couple of notes about the characters. Lorenzo's race was Thri-Kreen, but we changed him to be a human as it seemed to fit better. We justified his goofy bug abilities to his intense training as a monk, which works pretty well. Remington is a Genasi, though we had initially thought of reskinning him to be human as well. In the end my player wanted to just be Genasi, and I said that'd be fine. With the planes being cut off from this world, I figure I'd eventually have to come up with a reason for why he's here. I'm thinking he'll have been stuck between planes for an extended period of time, which he's forgotten about, and somehow slipped through. I'm reading through Digging for Lies now, and I think my idea may work. [B]Session Recaps[/B] Jak's player does recaps from her point of view. I'll be quoting her, and interspersing my commentary throughout in this format. My comments. [/QUOTE]
