The player who couldn’t make it to the last of our burning session on Saturday stopped by yesterday to finish his character. He’s a RPG newbie, so he was curious how I could possibly improv the whole thing; I would have to come up with a scenario beforehand, right?

I reassured him I could do it – it would just require some creativity on my part. Regardless, there is a part of me that wants to do the same thing: we’re taking part in alt-history, so my old D&D self says I should research the region they’re in, look up names, check out the history, etc.. New me is all like: “None of that is going to come into play, you know better.”

Still…still…stiiiillllll….
