View From the Bushes

Well, I had promised to give you a rundown of the "family campaign." The family campaign is a unique creature -- very atypical. I mean yeah, sure every campaign has the player that insists on wearing Mickey Mouse ears to the table and the guy that plays from under the table because he doesn't want to corrupt his performance by seeing the other players. But in addition to that we have an Aasimar Paladin (I know Aasimar are normally rogues) and, wait for it... an Elven Arcane Archer!

Okay so neither of those characters are particularly unique. What is unique is that we have an equal number of male and female players. Which may not be extraordinary for some of you, but historically it's very atypical for me. Also, each couple takes a turn cooking dinner before we start playing, so it makes the whole experience almost too domestic to be an actual session of role-playing. Also, because everyone is relatively new to the game, no attempt has been made to achieve anything resembling party balance. The most significant omission is that there is nary a cleric in sight.

I noticed that Enter the Matrix is scheduled to be released for all major platforms on the same day as the Matrix Reloaded. How on earth they accomplished that when Blizzard can't come within 18 months of one of their release dates is completely beyond me. I only hope that I might be able to squeeze some small amount of time out of my schedule and get a chance to pick it up and play it.
