Back in late 2010 a friend in the Physics department of the University I was working at put together a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. He DMed - and we had an all-girl group otherwise. His wife, and three other friends of mine. We had a gnome named Gnomey who danced for money in the streets and I got killed by a crocodile in our first major encounter.
It was awesome.
We also only managed about 8 or so sessions before people drifted off to other things or, as in my case, moved. Since then, I've kept a passing eye on D&D and am familiar with all of the podcasts and vlogs and such that are going on but as I have the attention span of a gnat I haven't actually watched any.
So with 8 sessions of experience and no idea whatsoever of what I'm doing, I decided I wanted to DM. I emailed some people who are remote and asked if they wanted to do this with us and got a group of about four people together, two of whom are very remote and one only sorta remote. All women.
That was in July.
We're finally going to do this.
I'm going to use this blog to track our entire learning curve. Of us, one player has a lot of experience, one some, and the other two have none (or in one case she was in the original game with me in 2010 and hasn't done anything since). I have just enough experience to know this is going to be difficult but not enough to actually understand or I wouldn't be doing it.
Come along for the ride why don't you?
