You know I love to keep things simple around here *wink*. While this doesn't alway happen, I do want to play all the time. So to keep the game flowing I propose using a random dungeon to get the level started. You'd still need to read through it, add monster stats and story elements, but…

Druids share a belief in the fundamentally spiritual nature of life and avoid choosing any one conception of Deity, believing that by its very nature this is unknowable by the mind.
