Dude, Where's My Caravan?! Episode Zero Recap

In the inaugural session of The Joint Committee, the players dive into the exciting and intricate process of character creation. Led by GM Auddee, the group—comprising Dylan as Jibbly the goblin bard, Ash as Okie the wood elf druid, and Rob as Gorthan the goliath fighter—takes their time to craft their characters, shaping who they are, what drives them, and where they come from. This session focuses on the foundation of the campaign, with an emphasis on personal backstories and motivations.

Each player thoughtfully constructs their character's race, class, skills, and abilities, ensuring their characters are unique but also tied to the world they inhabit. Jibbly, the comedic and lovable bard, is drawn to performance and culinary delights, especially tomato pie. Okie, the druid, struggles with her past as a ranger and transitions into druidic magic, while Gorthan, the stoic goliath, shares a backstory filled with abandonment and magic gone awry.

The GM sets the stage for the campaign, hinting at a world filled with adventure and conflict. The setting blends low to mid-fantasy elements, with magic being rare outside of cities, which will challenge the players’ creativity and problem-solving skills. As the session progresses, the focus is on collaborative storytelling, with the GM encouraging the players to shape the direction of the narrative.

The session concludes with a mysterious encounter in a tavern, signaling that the adventure is just beginning, and leaving the players—and the audience—curious about what awaits.
