			=== Background ===

			Consider your Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, Flaws carefully as Ravenloft will definitely tap into them.

			Motivation considerations: Barovia is a land that often feels pointless to continue, dreary. Rewards are few and often not in your favor. Why will your character continue their adventures and not just give up like everyone else in Barovia?

			=== Starting Inspiration ===

			Once the characters are in Ravenloft, they will ''not'' automatically begin with Inspiration. Instead, luck will determine who starts with it, though at least half of the characters will begin with it.

			* We will round-robin to determine who starts with Inspiration
			* Each player will successively roll a die (even number); even will receive Inspiration, odd will not
			* We roll until half the party in the session either have or haven't got Inspiration, and the rest to be determined automatically
			* e.g. For a 4-player session, player 1 rolls odd (no inspiration); player 2 rolls odd (no inspiration); the remaining two characters automatically receive inspiration
