  • I considered it, but decided against it.

    Fun fact: There’s no flat surface around my house for doing it. Nor is it sheltered, and it usually rains sideways where I live. So my usual place to do these things is inside a 2km long mountain tunnel 5min drive from my house. There I can change oil, brakes, seasonal tyres, with no wind or precipitation, and temperature above freezing. In the middle of the tunnel there is a large excavated space on the side of the road where the snow plow turns around, so it’s not like I’m blocking traffic either.

    Those are usually connected to a light switch for connecting ceiling lights. Especially in older houses from when it was common to have many dim lights instead of few bright ones.

    Seeing as it’s grounded, that one is new-ish… before the 80’s, it would probably not have been grounded.

    Also, close to a window tells me that its primary use nowadays is for christmas lights.

  • 9, 11, and 13. We’re playing D&D 3.5, as those are the books I have, and the ruleset I know the best.

    I think the reason why it was so successful with mine is because I decided in advance that I wanted the first session to be action focused. No races, no classes, alignment, etc.

    While they cleared the “tutorial dungeon”, they found some weapons that they could choose to use, and depending on what they chose, I used that to nudge them in a direction of a suitable class.

    After the tutorial they did some traveling and “stumbled across” minor individual quests that lead them to NPCs that could teach them some stuff. Afterwards they became lvl 1 of their chosen class.

    I’ve introduced all aspects that way, as I didn’t want to have them get bored in advance by reading more than playing. I just finished introducing them to arcane spells, and they’re now working with a cleric NPC for divine spells, after which dieties is a natural next step. Then comes alignments.
