[QUOTE="Boscogn, post: 7295613, member: 6863542"] I personally started to pen & paper in a homebrew setting. Looking back I think it helped me focus on the story more and pushed me past any min/max or selfish tendencies I would've had. I think pre-gen characters are a great start to getting the idea of party composition to new players with the ability to let veteran players really shine by showing a newish party how to make even a pre-gen character your own. I hate it when I get to a table and the party is all DPS and no skills. Also hate in-fighting within the party if it's just for selfish/alignment reasons. I'm really bummed I have no local groups to get my tabletop on with. So this is super awesome of you to be a resource for people to get out of their cave and be social. Just to echo what others have said. If you introduce printed settings people can come with expectations or interpretations that could cause confusion with your world. If there is any material you can use and have it be helpful then great but just make sure players know it's your world and you're boss. Haha. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
