"This is your Captian speaking"

I started DMing my own campaign yesterday. It was fairly successful. The characters seem to be a good mix of abilities, and the players are getting along. We started the game without my brother due to a scheduling conflict (he was in Vegas) but I think he will forgive me. The story begins as the group is asked to slay the monster that is tearing up the vineyards of one of the PCs girlfriend's father. The funny thing about this is that the player in question is a woman playing a man. Her character's name is Richard Turgidson. Yeah she went there. They were successful and are starting to develop their personalties and style.
