I'm good with foregoing any kind of episode zero. Sometimes a hot start works well and we can fill the blanks with our own narration and improv as we go if necessary.
This is how I like to do it as well although it's by no means the ONLY way to do it.
For example, Alner and Fahlasi have an established bond and shared history but Len and I never discussed it, choosing to tease that out little by little if opportunity or necessity presents itself. At any point I could have posted something like:
Quote:
As the hurry along the sewer tunnels Fahlasi shakes her head at Alner's antics. What an odd pair they make. Her mind goes back to when the halfling, had found her, a total stranger, half-dead in the ditch and helped her to an inn to rest and recover. Granted, the crafty little bugger might've thought it a good investment to have a warrior like her indebted to him, but she prefers to believe he did it out of kindness. A kindness all too rare nowadays. At any rate, debt of gratitude or no, she's grown quite fond of the little fellow.
But yeah if the vote is for a short prologue written by the DMs I suppose we can make a separate, one-paragraph thread. Another option is to squeeze an extra paragraph into the beginning of Len's already awesome first post but honestly I'd hate to do that because it would ruin the "hot start" as KEG called it.
