Oh man, last Wednesday was great. We had something like 9 totally new people come in to learn about 5e and build characters, and I'm really excited for going over General Rules in Play and doing the basic Combat Test next week.
AND, good news! So far, we've got two new guys who are looking to become store DM's, for both Adventurers' League as well as casual play, and that's pretty awesome. Once we get ourselves settled into reasonably balanced groups (in both size and party composition), I'll add them to the list of active DM's and reorganize this post to have the current groups posted here.
CURRENT GROUPS (as of Feb'16):
Out of the Abyss: Adam T., Wednesdays at 6pm -Derek [Tiberion, Human Barbarian] -Matt [Revy, Human Rogue] -Cassandra [Norb, Gnome Bard] -Ross [Zed, Human Barbarian] -Adam F. [Archimedes, Half-elf Wizard] -Jim [Kester, Human Druid] -Hannah [Glasha, Half-orc Cleric] -Cassie [Zyra, Halfling Bard]
Princes of the Apocalypse: Dave, Wednesdays at 6pm -Jay [Monk] -Curtis [Warlock] -Emily [Fighter] -Ryan? [Fighter] -Ryan?'s Dad? [?]
Adventures in Menzoberranzan: Ryan, Wednesdays at 6pm -Mark [?] -Tom [?] -Will [?]
Matt, TBD - {This game hasn't started yet, because we're working on nailing down a day/time.}
These parties were last updated 2/11/16, with whatever information I happened to be able to remember at the time. As we go, I'll update this listing as needed.

The Out of the Abyss group got off to a roaring start by pretty much immediately starting a huge fight (throwing chamber pots around their prison cell) that quickly turned into an attempted prison break (throwing potential party members through the cell door). The first push is going...not great, and the drow guards have raised the alarm, and more bad guys are on their way to subdue those pesky prisoners. Can the party fight against these odds? Can they survive the volleys of crossbow fire laced with Drow Knockout Poison? Two of them have already gone down...it's not looking good. And most importantly, will the frightened little mushroom-man named Stool be ok?
On the other hand, the Princes of the Apocalyse group has gotten a good deal done. After clobbering some bandits last week, they've pressed on and invaded a haunted tomb, looking for treasures. The guardian ghost took exception to their presence, and when they finally brought him down, they found themselves accosted by monsters who wanted to keep the tomb and its treasures for itself! They've survived so far, but how long will they be able to hold out? I'm told their next foe is much more dangerous...The legendary Lord of Lance Rock!

Well, that could have gone worse. The Out of the Abyss group took a hell of a beating, and after fighting against long odds, were ultimately overcome by their captors. Things were looking ok up until the point where Mistress Ilvara and her junior priestess showed up. Zyra died in a magical explosion, Salith (drow NPC prisoner) was blown into the lake and lost, one drow guard was stabbed to death by Buppido (derro NPC prisoner), and both Kester and the other Drow Guard that had been on duty were brutally murdered by Mistress Ilvara in the aftermath. How DARE those guards not properly shackle the prisoners, and how DARE anyone try to leap off the ledge to escape? She was very upset with everyone involved. Revy has a nice, heavy gag to remind her to keep quiet when the Mistress is talking, and about a third of the prisoners are now chained to the wall in addition to being restrained, because they're too strong to let them have free range of motion.
(For reference, both Zyra and Kester's players WANTED to change characters, and I got their permission to have them die in dramatic fashion to forward the emotional style of the campaign. I would never just do that spontaneously, but it WAS certainly very convenient.)
((((I'll post something about the other group later.))))
