Last Night's Character Creation

Before we get to the character creation, I got home around 5ish yesterday and preceded to finish the Skittles Vodka.  The girlfriend and I spent around one and a half hours trying to figure out the best way to filter the stuff with coffee filters, and the method we came up with stains the fingers.  However, there was a Facebook message from our room mate for whom this was a birthday present that it was great.  So, success is ours.  However, next time... I think we will just go with Jolly Rancher vodka because you don't have to filter it.

So last night was character creation for Deathwatch.  What I expected to be a quick "roll some dice and choose some items" character creation was stretched much further due to BonChon being consumed before really getting started.  (BonChon is a Korean chicken place in Annandale that is HOLY SHIT awesome.)  I was bummed out a little because we were supposed to continue Dresden, and I am really excited to push forward a little more in it.  We are currently investigating the aftermath of the death of a sorcerer who we lead the White Council Wardens to.  (If you have no idea what I am talking about, you should be reading the Dresden Files.)

Our GM for Deathwatch has put together miniatures for all the PC's and they are kind of awesome.

I know, the image is a little low res, but he took it on his IPhone, so what can you expect.

So, out group tends to have a problem in game where we get side-tracked REALLY easily and forget about other plots.  I would ask if anyone else has this issue in game, but most of the people who will read this... are in my group.  But anyone else, have any suggestions for keeping gamers on track?
