Hey everyone, I don't have the starter set yet, but I'm planning on running it tomorrow. Looking forward to this starter set and possibly introducing some friends to D&D I'm thinking alot about what makes for a really engaging first session of D&D experience.
According to the LiveStream, the adventure begins when the party comes upon the recently massacred caravan of a friend of theirs. There are still goblins lurking about. After fighting goblins, the party is more or less expected to track them back to their lair.
How can we make this opening scene as awesome as possible? There is already a connection provided between one of the PCs and a missing dwarf merchant. Details? Terrain? Ways to make the opening scene more dramatic? More open ended? The DM called a captured goblin "Slurry", which I like.
cheers
