Introduction trope revised Rather than bump into each other in a tavern, and then spotting a cloaked figure in the bar to get information/quest. Have the characters individually been asked to meet here by an acquaintance they all share During Session 0, ask each player How their characters feel about turning up on time? How they answer this dictates how and when they arrive. As they arrive, this is a way for characters to introduce themselves, by their looks, actions and then when they sit. What's the first thing they do when they enter the tavern? What do they order? Do they tip the bartender? Where do they sit at the table?

Hi as one of the three GMs for the October Rotation in venue, I thought of a bit of a mini interview on you. When did you first start playing RPGs and what were they? About 4 or 5 years ago. I moved to a new area and did not know anyone. Looking on MeetUp, this looked quite interesting so I gave it a go… I started playing in a Cthulhu game and then played some D&D 5e. I enjoyed the stories and interaction. What was the most memorable part of those sessions? I enjoyed the roleplaying aspects, playing different and wacky characters. I also enjoyed the stories and developing characters within the world. It is those interactions that were most memorable. If you have put time and effort into creating a character who has a nice backstory, acted consistently within the world and developed a personality, it’s tough to roll a D100 sanity and hope that this one roll does not mark the end. Why did you start GMing? Just wanted to give it a go to be honest. Seemed fun… How long have you be...
