The first session of Shadow Out of the Dark is in the books! Many thanks to everyone who could make it over this afternoon. I think we had a great introductory session full of intrigue, action and distrust…and who shall ever forget Rori’s critical manure throw! Having never been content with the old ‘You Meet in a Tavern’ style of beginnings, I appreciate the effort and ideas that went into making the ‘allies by circumstance and chance’ angle work out rather nicely.

I should be posting a Session 1 recap sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, I have posted character backgrounds for Rorimac Tosscobble, Lorgun Nine Fingers and Aldwyn Rolffson as well as experience awards for the session. The character backgrounds are truly impressive. Really fantastic work. They add an vibrant dimension to your characters and should provide for some interesting encounters down the road.

To help you better understand the organization of the site, here is a quick rundown of the sections:

Character Creation
The section will remain relatively static. It contains all the information you need to build a character and advance that character from level to level. In addition to races, classes and heroic paths, you will also find some information relating to specific skill use in the world of Midnight.

Additional Rules
Another section that will remain more or less static, this section details all the additional rules for the game that exist outside the Pathfinder RPG. Rules for the unique Midnight magic system, charms, herbalism, new weapons, special items and the like are contained within.

Characters
Pretty self-explanatory, the Characters section will contain some brief information concerning your character’s vitals and background. If you have a specific image you would like to use for your character, let me know.

Campaign Journal
This section is where you find a majority of the session to session updates. I will do my best to keep an ongoing session log, as well as record experience awards, items of interest found and people/places of note encountered. I highly encourage you to comment on session logs (and any part of the site for that matter), perhaps adding your character’s perspective to the narrative.

Adventuring in Eredane
Another semi-static area of the site, but you will find that it provides a host on information required to properly understand the setting. Inside you will find detailed specifics about the Laws of Shadow, life under occupation, how the value and bartering of goods is handled in Eredane, a map of the land and a myriad of other setting-specific tidbits.

Also of note, you can print any page of this site by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and click the ‘Print This Page’ link. This will provide a printer-friendly, black and white formatted page.

Finally, we are currently looking at scheduling Session 2 for Sunday, February 27th (10:00AM – 4:00PM). How does that look for everyone?
