“Tabula Rasa”
28-Apr-02
Last night was the first gaming night of my new D&D campaign. It went really well. I was surprised by how well I had “tagged” certain players. I had given Chris and Carl the kind of characters (background-wise) that were perfect for how they were behaving. I gave Ann a very simple, general kind of character, since she’s so new to the game.
However, they did surprise me– a lot! They managed to get out of the sewers very quickly, and without going over or through the traps and obstacles I had placed there. Chris has figured out that she’s some sort of engineer, or a thief (rogue) with a bad attitude. Ann has figured out that she’s strong (she’s not terribly, but she got some lucky rolls). Carl has found the strange birthmark on his back– his comment was that it should be concealed as soon as possible.
The party has also made contact with Brother Egil already, and the “Death in Freeport” module has begun.
In the next play session, I will be bringing in 3 new characters, basically doubling the party size. I’ve got their characters and stories already made up, and Brother Egil will be the one to make their introduction (the other 3 ended up at the temple of Boccob).
