We’ll be starting soon, now that the long weekend is over! I’ll make a separate thread for the actual gameplay, this thread will stay up for discussion and questions.

Whoooops that took longer than it should have. Typing up the main thread now. A final bit of homework: think up
- one thing my character likes/respects about each other character
- A secret or significant event that your character shares with one other character
Both of these can be very simple. Like, “I like drinking with Salazar” and “We got into a close call with the city watch”, but feel free to collaborate on something more detailed if you like!
Normally I would have people make a secret “with the person to the right” but there isn’t any seating here.
Lets go with:
@Captbnut has a secret with:
@Cokho who has a secret with:
@Gungeon who has a secret with:
@IssiNoho77 who has a secret with:
@RossM who has a secret with @Captbnut
Does that make sense?

It certainly does, thanks for the prompt 
Something we like about everyone?
I’m assuming that secrets need to be secret? I’ve PM’d my secret buddies.
What about likes, do we post them on here?
Could you please post each players handle and character name please? I can remember some but have forgotten others
@Sagantine can probably edit this into the top post.
(De, Human Ranger She/Her)
Just to clarify, is this a secret we should come up with between each pair? Or like, someone tells me a secret and I tell them one back?

Yeah, come up with a secret together! Let’s skip the ‘one thing you like’ thing.
For clarity:
@Captbnut has a secret with Moran (he/him) (cokho) and De (she/her) (rossm)
@Cokho has a secret with Salazar (he/him) (captbnut) and Shoo (pronouns?) (gungeon)
@Gungeon has a secret with Moran (he/him) and Poot (he/him) (IssiNoho77)
@IssiNoho77 has a secret with Shoo (gungeon) and De (she/her) (rossm)
@RossM has a secret with Poot (he/him) (issinoho77) and Salazar (he/him) (captbnut)

Do we need to share our secrets with you @Sagantine?

Yes please!
Have you picked up the secrets from the messages you’ve been copied in to?
Really looking forward to this.
Have you written the whole scenario from scratch? If so, is that something you’ve always done?

I’ve gotten the secrets that have been sent!
Yeah, I always do things from scratch. Having the ability to express some creativity is one of the most rewarding part of DMing for me, though it does add extra work.

Myself and @RossM RossM have our secret, if you don’t have it yet, I can forward it over?
I’m messaged @Gungeon about ours but not heard back yet.

Some things I forgot to mention, but are important:
Make sure you’re watching the other thread so you get the relevent updates!
Some roleplaying guidelines I forgot:
-
stick to describing how your character acts and reacts and leave other people’s (and NPCs) reactions to their respective player/the DM. For example: instead of ‘I splash De with water and she is angry’ Just say that you splash water on De, and allow Rossm to choose how De reacts.
-
Don’t be afraid to time skip in one post - ask multiple questions, give a narrative of what you do, etc. The only boundries are when you want to do something where I or another player will need to determine the outcome. Then the roleplaying will need to move to the relevant party to respond before continuing. Basically, you can try literally anything you want to do in D&D, but whether or not it works out is up to the dice (and ultimately me).

I’m on the thread!
No worries if the secrets aren’t finished, they’re just roleplaying hooks

Oops, I completely missed that!
Apologies folks. Been lax checking in. Turns out I’m still furloughed, for the time being at least. Just hoping that doesn’t become the dreaded redundancy! That sucked in 2007/8.
Anyway, good to go!
