The whole space folding analogy mad me laugh but also made me wonder about gamers’ conditioning.

We take stuff for granted like ‘no matter how disgusting that corpse is I’m searching it for loot.’

Oh well…

The rules can be so overwhelming at times.<br/><br/>I remember having the anxiety myself back in the day. Nearly all the guys in the group had been playing for years and year (and years and years) and seemed to know absolutely everything. But I still truly believe that most of us are pretty nice people who are willing to answer the questions and help out when needed.<br/><br/>Keep it up, PM! I'll be interested to see how things go!

I'm so glad to see that i wont be alone to feel a bit uneasy in my ignorance of the subtlety of the gaming. It's been so long since i flexed my RP muscles that i fear to be rusted... Can't wait for that introductory game next Friday hehe.<br/><br/>And keep those Guest Post coming PM!

Good work PM.

It’s clear to me that in Friday’s introductory game, it’s going to be mostly about the fluff and I’ll keep the crunch to a bare minimum.

I’ll post a special ‘Adventure Prep’ post tomorrow about introducing adult players to RPGs in general and D&D in particular.

Can’t wait to see the next ones…
