There isn't a whole lot of character development or even a lot to do to create a PC and if any survive then you get to start off as a 1st level character where you choose a class, etc.<br />Christopher Stogdillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831712020518883173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-58984741113477098972016-10-01T10:41:13.074-04:002016-10-01T10:41:13.074-04:00I played in one - might have been with James Macy,...I played in one - might have been with James Macy, but maybe not. My first group of four was killed all at once (along with many others) when we triggered a deadfall trap on the *approach* to the castle we were supposed to investigate. The second funnel group of four did a lot better (we'd learned some caution). You play them as they are (and the characters are simple but different enough to allow it), and they gain character for the main game by virtue of the events that happen in the funnel. It's a clever way to avoid some of the pitfalls of pre-planned, sometimes overly cautious/optimized character generation.Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-23035458428097584602016-10-01T07:25:13.547-04:002016-10-01T07:25:13.547-04:00Hey!

How do you know who you're "really" running? <br /><br />Maybe it's easier than it looks when you're playing. I just think I would pick out one of my guys to be the leader and then favor that guy over the other ones, whether consciously or subconsciously.<br /><br />Has anyone had any real play experiences with a funnel situation they can share?<br />Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-29321061777572231692016-10-01T00:25:33.918-04:002016-10-01T00:25:33.918-04:00each player takes 4 zero level newbs into the funn...each player takes 4 zero level newbs into the funnel - survivors are the PC poolTenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-32675836548310192182016-10-01T00:16:27.849-04:002016-10-01T00:16:27.849-04:00Can someone explain the funnel again?
