    How can ALA go from having Michelle Obama as the keynote speaker at their largest event of the year, to allowing Klan meeting in libraries, all in under a month?

    Party members 1-3 finally met the fourth one, because that player made it to that session. The players met some vampire scouts, but everyone in the party thought they were just very pale humans. The players snuck past the guards so they could get into the dungeon without paying an adventuring tax, and were almost defeated by some goblins.

    They then returned home to realize that the pale humanoids they met had been sent to assassinate a local shopkeeper. He had somehow managed to kill two and knock out a third, and both shopkeeper and would-be assassin were being held in city hall until someone could determine which one started the fight. The players tried to heal the assassin back up to consciousness, killing him. Oops.

    The session ended around there, but we had some good roleplay between our utilitarian Dwarf Cleric, our Anarcho-Capitalist Bard, and our freedom-loving Rogue and Ranger. This is a great group to GM for, but it's hard yet rewarding to find plot hooks that entice all their characters.

    The Porcupine of Truth by Bill Konigsberg seems like a fairly generic teen coming of age story, until it starts actually dealing with heavy topics such as alcoholism and AIDS.
