Serial Episodic Canon
Players, I have an announcement to make! Andrew is working on a one-shot adventure whereon we explore some hundreds or possibly thousands of years ago the story behind the Blackstone; Gator Brokenstone's ancestral family heirloom which he sold away drunk. Andrew is going to DM it next Tuesday (if he gets it prepared in time) and it is going to be a good old fashioned dungeon crawl from start to finish, with us all playing Level 5 Dwarven Thieves! Start thinking of your backstories right now, because that's all you have control over. As the milieu author I am giving you much more creative control over these backstories, because you are NOT humble travelers seeking new horizons but experienced and skilled thieves.
So far we have determined there are the following things in common between the four characters we (Sean, Mike, Dave, Kyle) will be playing:
-Dwarf
-Thieves
-Level 5
-Acquired much wealth over the course of our adventuring, but because we are partiers, or alcoholics, or sexaholics, or gambling addicts, we frittered it all away and have not much to show for it.
Any more details I leave up to the enterprising DM, Andrew. This story is completely separate from the current, ongoing campaign and will serve as a breather and inspiration for characterization for everyone. It will occur in but one session and if we all die, we all die.
This is part of an ongoing effort to flesh out this campaign milieu. We will be putting together more one-shots as time goes on in order to further explore the possibilities of the setting. Think of these as "special guest episodes" of our campaigning. I will not be journaling these sessions unless I am DMing them. I leave the chronicling of THE QUEST FOR THE BLACKSTONE up to our DM Andrew.
