• Question 1:  How involved do you like to get when making characters, or when others make characters in games you GM?
• Question 2:  When you run a campaign, how do YOU end it? And what (if any)  kind of procedures or guidance do you wish game texts would offer to help bring things to a close?
• Questions 3: How do we help people unlearn whatever they think they know from the latest edition of D&D? Or do we even need to?
