Hi guys, hows it going...
So, I'm sitting in a proverbial stew. I have no game, haven't had one for a while, and I'm just bustling with creativity while I plan all these games I may never get to play. Since the only thing I get to do is thought excersizes, I thought I'd include the Playground in my torture.
So here my thought excersize for today. I want to see as many creative, original ways to get a new group of players and characters into a campaign world. Lets say you have a plot, can be whatever (more points for making up a whole new plot on the fly), and you have characters in line with that plot. What would you plan for the first session(s) to get this train on a good set of tracks?
Now I'm not saying to railroad them, but I want to see new ideas at motivating players. Getting them involved.
Alternatively, you could regale us about that one time, where the first session went perfectly, and the players were hooked for the entirety.
Lets get our learnin's on, and attempt to become better storywriters!
