Woohoo, I'm playing D&D again! Last night we managed to kick off our short term game. It was the first time in, like, 8 weeks nobody was sick or stuck axle-deep in mud. And we mapped out five Fridays in the next two months we can play!

Last night was only a session zero so no dice rolling. We players got aligned on the story, the setting, a group of characters that will go through it, and how we look to have fun doing that together. With the group of players I chose for this game that wasn't too hard. We're all pragmatic players who like telling a story with a set of characters that basically work together instead of trying to break the game, steal from each other, or just being assholes (to other players) for fun.

One thing I liked, and which worked way better than I anticipated, was that the players quickly settled into the pre-generated characters I'd built. I was clear up front that picking a pregen wasn't required; I made them as examples and time-savers vs. creating characters from scratch for this mini-campaign. But I also designed them as good characters, with well thought out skills and interesting bits of backstory. The players not only all picked from my pre-gens but seemed satisfied that they'd gotten their top choice. I'm looking forward to Session One!
