Hi, intrepid heroes! Welcome to the party.
[The assumption of this post is that those who signed up to be in Eddie's Dn&D group have already been to a meet-up for character building and team bonding in January! Following this, Eddie has spent February story building. This month is the first actual session, so feel free to handwave any level of involvement on your characters part until now! Here is the OOC post where you can sign up your character's... character, talk about what kind of player they would be, or, if your character hasn't previously expressed interest, drop me a line there so I can make sure the party doesn't get too big for Eddie to handle.]


☽ journey's beginning ☾

[The lounge space of apartment 4a has been transformed.

Sheets are draped over the windows, so that the only light comes from a couple lamps and flickering candles. A large, hand drawn map is sprawled across two pushed-together tables, and extra chairs appear to have been pilfered from who knows where.

Eddie doesn't have as much space, his minis or his throne, but the essentials are all here. A screen of painted black cardboard, a few spare sets of cheap dice, notepaper and pens, and the core rulebook- which isn't there physically, but Eddie does have it memorised.

Once everyone is settled in, Eddie cuts through any chatter with a loud clap of his hands.]

Alright! We begin, in one the various spires of the Wildfrost mountain adventurers guild, where heroes for hire train, form a party, and are assigned the missions no one else wants to take. But we can get into that in a moment! Now...

[He turns to you, grinning and eyes sparkling with all the barely contained excitement of a kid on Christmas.]

Why don't you tell us about your character?


☽ lunch break ☾

[A couple hours in, Eddie calls half-time. The troops are restless, he thinks.

The map is dramatically pulled away and rolled up, and the table is quickly overtaken by food and chatter. Mingle! Make friends! Eddie will stay in his seat, feet kicked up on the table.]


☽ visitors ☾

[The session ends with the party midway through their first quest gone entirely awry, stolen goods revealed to be twice stolen, and the guild under heavy fire.]

Until next time! I am a benevolent ruler, so newbies, a word of wisdom- I'd take advantage of this time between sessions to think about your next actions. See you... whenever this place isn't on fire.

[Kinda hard to stick to the firm schedule Eddie is so fond of, here. So, do you want to stick around and chat? Ask Eddie follow up questions or critique his game? Maybe a friend is coming to meet you after the game has finished, or maybe you're someone who's decided to stick your nose in at the last second?]
