Mm, I think the dinner would be something nice to do, especially since we haven't had everyone (coherently) together in one place since the waiting room and it would be useful for players and characters to have finally met each other. We could probably figure out a way to make it easier for everyone, maybe a huge Google Doc where we can just quickly insert comments and conversations or whatever. We would need to make it somewhat short and sweet to avoid derailing terribly but essentially we'd all have met each other and that's what matters. It'll be incredibly weird but I think it'd be useful for the characters.

But if we vote against it, I'm totally okay with that, too. 
(High fives to Bliss for being somewhat decisive on one option.)
