I am having some family members visit my place for the first time since I moved in and I'm pretty excited. It's a small thing, but yeah. I have a tendency to work most weekends because I don't have a social life so it's a nice change of pace. Do any of you get to do anything fun? Hooe your Friday goes well!

I'm starting a new Pathfinder campaign on Sunday. I've spent the last couple weeks meeting with the players to build their characters and go over backstory. We are all hyped for it to start.

Oh that’s awesome! My dnd group is doing the first session 0 of our new campaign tonight. Do you wanna share a bit about the campaign you’re starting? I’d love to hear what you’ve made ^^

It's a premade adventure from Paizo called "Abomination Vaults", but I've done a bunch of customization to migrate it into my own homebrew world. I've spent a bunch of time over the past few days writing a cinematic intro sequence for each character, similar to the ones BLM does in Dimension 20. I've got 5 players and I've worked with each of them to flesh out their characters backstory and make sure that I understand the vibe they're going for.

I ran a session last week where they got to play a couple of simulated combat encounters in order to feel out the tactics of the party, and so they could decide if they wanted to change their build after trying it out. However, I told them not to roleplay during that session, so that during the first real session we get to see the PCs actually coming together and getting to know each other in RP terms. None of the players know much about the other PCs apart from what they can do mechanically.

I'm super excited for everyone to have a "wait, that's your character‽" Moment as they get to know each other.
