How will character creation work

During the first session, we will create characters together and then level them up to level 4. We will generate ability scores using a method drawn from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons that balances luck and choice. You may use the Old School Essentials Classic Fantasy or Advanced Fantasy rules for character creation, with only minor adjustments necessary. If you aren't sure what that means, fear not! All will be made clear soon.
