The Eberron Campaign: Session 1

d20 Addict: Series 1: The Eberron Campaign

By GamingNews Editor T. Rob Brown

(Friday, Feb. 25, 2006) SESSION 1: THE CHARACTERS MEET...

After spending a week or so to get the characters created, work out character backgrounds, and to give the dungeon master (DM), yours truly, an opportunity to read over the starting materials and necessary background information, we finally were ready for our first session.

I suppose first you must learn about the players and their characters if you are to better understand the journey that is to come.

Our first culprit, I mean adventurer -- or expert treasure hunter, is a chaotic good, female changeling rogue Tegan played by Jim "Nimrod" Stokes. Far from the party leader, but often useful in those tough situations, this rogue has saved the party's skin several times.

The second party member is the chaotic good, male human cleric Thragar Wittenhelm played by John Manard. This character worships the Sovereign Host. This character is perhaps one of the party leaders.

Third on the list is the lawful good, male human marshal Garland Von Jord played by Jesse White. This character is perhaps one of the party leaders.

Fourth among them is the tank, the neutral good, male personality warforged fighter who has yet to be named by the party played by Tim Marcum. When there's a fight to be made, he's the one that gets to taking care of the situation.

Fifth is the magic support character, the chaotic good, female shifter sorcerer Xxxx Xxxx played by Phil Xxxx. Xxxx keeps his raven familiar onhand for spying purposes.

Sixth is chaotic good, male shifter ranger-barbarian Kegan played by Jonathan Gruver.

Seventh is choatic good, female gnome bard Hevyn Glitterdust played by Phill Hilt.

Outside of those chief seven player characters (PCs), there have been four other PCs who have joined in their adventures from time-to-time and could possibly re-join the adventures as things progress. For now, we will stick the main seven characters.

As our "little" tale begins, the adventurers are in the towered metropolis of Sharn, a major city in Breland on the continent of Khorvaire. For those of you who have the Eberron campaign setting book, feel free to browse the map there -- there's possibly a map located on the Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) website. I prefer to use the map of Khorvaire created by WOTC that was included in the Eberron DM Screen pack.

The adventure we started is located in the campaign setting book -- and of course, as always, I twisted a few things around and changed a few things just to keep the players on their toes, er... well, maybe on the edge of the comfy sofa or loveseat in my living room.
