This is where i'm blindsided by my inexperience. I should have mentioned that I wrote out a rough outline of a couple plots. Which starts with the necromancer in a major city.
Yep, you probably should have.
Remember that you're telling a story here, and sure its pretty difficult to introduce things when you want some reader involvement, but as much as you can get earns you more relevant responses. It's also a lot more fun to read - your initial post right now is pretty weak. Its not showing us anything, its not even talking with the audience, its just telling stuff AT us.
Something like
"The swirling powers of necromancy bring you to life with a jolt! Your new master, the necromancer who created you, stands over you with a frightening grin. He'd been in the city almost a week now preparing for this; finally, his greatest creation is complete. YOU are complete.
But who is this necromancer? What drives him? Is he a mewling neophyte with ambitions beyond that which he can control? A seasoned necromancer applying his decades of experience to hone the perfect golem? What does he need you for, and what has he done to make you special? How has he strengthened you, improved you, made a step and a half above your average flesh golem?"
And then you listen to suggestions and include them (you don't need to follow them exactly to include them!) in the next page of your narrative.
