Previous session: 2025-02-01 - Creating Our Starting Town Next session: 2025-03-29 - Session Zero?

Where Were We?

And Then What Happened?

  • Would like to try out Bastions, having some downtime
    • More "free range"
  • Worldbuild as we go
    • Chris has figured out stuff around the periphery of our starting area as one-sentence hooks
  • Would like to try Foundry instead of Roll20
  • Reusing existing pantheons
  • Reuse existing languages
  • Dave's got an idea for publishing from markdown, would be private & authed through Slack or something
  • Thinking about characters a little...
    • Dave's got a background maybe figured out
      • Thinking about starting with a level in Ranger but moving to Wizard: Illusion
      • Might take some RP to get moved into Wizard levels
      • Want to work out how they got turned on to books / inspiration
    • Jenn's for sure doing some kind of Druid
    • James is probably Barbarian (from logger background)
    • Mike is debating Paladin (Oath of the Ancients, wood elf) vs. Bard (Glamour, halfling)
    • Everyone should have a couple goals for their characters; Chris will post more details
    • Do we want to do any zero-level play? Probably not, but we should figure out enough backstory to get us to level one of whatever our classes are.
  • Chris wants to figure out the particulars of where magic comes from / why it happens

Plans for Next Time

  • Session zero...
  • Refining character concepts
  • Figuring out how/why we are together and not just meeting in a tavern
