Our campaign got off to a mini-start (we'll call it the pilot) a couple of weeks ago for three of my four players. We ran the zero-level adventure, Temple of the Weeping Goddess, published in Dungeon on the Wizards of the Coast website and I have to say, that was a lot of fun. The rules for pre-adventurers were really interesting and fun to play with and they did a good job, in my opinion, of helping the players figure out who their characters were even before they started looking at classes and feats and powers. In the past few weeks, a year has passed for these fledgling heroes and they have gone off to receive training in their various disciplines. When they come back together tonight, they will have some new stories to tell before they set out on their adventures.
So, in a few hours, Nakano the human cavalier, Anariel the Eladrin skald, Krisaga the gnomish sorceress and Friedrick the gnomish monk will set out on the Scales of War adventure path! Stay tuned and I'll see if I don't have more to say about it later.
