First!

My DnD group hasn't played in over a year which, to me, is unacceptable. So I decided to do something about it. I started a new campaign, not playing it but creating it. I've DM'd before but have never really sat down and created a whole campaign from begining to end. I'm also trying a new method of creation.

I'm going to write this entire campaign in a movie-esque style: Flashbacks, Jumps forward in time, separating the characters. I know that with a campaign with 5 people in it separating the action between them sounds like a horrible idea. My hope here is that each separation in stories will be entertaining enough for the other players to just sit back and enjoy the story.

I plan on giving each separate story line the same amount of XP as all they will be is a little development arc for each character. I may even do some of the story arcs based on what the PCs write as their backgrounds. So instead of just "this is what happened to me" the PCs can all live it.

Anyway I'm nowhere near completion on this and we have set a play date of February 29th. I'll update sporadically until then and then I'll post how the first campaign went. If anyone has any idea's I'd love to hear them. Also, once I'm done with the campaign I'll post the DMs notes so anyone can try it themselves.
