I'm a little uncertain about the idea of separate starts... I worry that if the group takes a while to get together, there would be more risk of the game losing steam before it really gets going. Starting with the group already assembled for an appropriate starting D&D mission like rat extermination or princess-saving sounds good to me (or something a little more unusual or silly), but I don't have a whole lot of experience with things like this... so whatever you all think would work best.<br/><br/>Oh, if we're using the generic fantasy map, could you post it in the Character & Setting Info thread? That would make it a bit easier to find in case I need to reference it.
