  • 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.

    You’re 100% correct, and I downvoted you just to prove your point. You can make the most benign and least controversial post and still receive downvotes.

    “Who does this guy think he is, claiming that it’s nice to breathe oxygen???” Downvotes and blocks
    – Someone on the internet, presumably.

    Same. I see the notifications and think “Oh no, here it comes…”

    Usually it’s surprisingly positive, but I skim the negative ones, and even think to myself “Yes, I do on fact mean exactly that”, but I can’t be arsed to respond.

    True. I just tried to give a short primer. I am indeed part of (to an extent) the “America bad”-camp, but it doesn’t make me sverve so hard I crash into a ditch on the opposite side.
