I had the vision of the game starting like so.<br/><br/>(Some other PC): "Stay sharp, new meat.  These are the goblin woods."<br/>(Yet another PC): "Don't worry, it's just a name."<br/>*Goblins attack*<br/><br/><br/>Since the rest of the party is fairly experienced, perhaps they've all been in other parties, and drew together in this one because of positive experiences with each other, sexual or otherwise.<br/><br/>We could have each PC come up with a connection with another PC (or two) to give some sense of history without the dead stop that introductions so often cause.<br/><br/>Also, the group name is the "Descending Hammers," but there's not even one hammer user, much less two.  What does it mean?  "Because theres always so much getting pounded around here."  :)
