Daughter of Loki

I think it does seem like you're interested in being a player, and I don't know that I've seen anyone be both a player and the DM for the same campain. However, I don't know that that means it's a bad idea. I'd agree that there isn't an introductory world state post like i'd expect, but at the same time I've seen the gist of the information around in a few places.
