[QUOTE="BigBro359, post: 6870626, member: 6842633"] Ok, sounds really good. Another question (believe me, I will probably keep asking them until people stop answering them) is how do I keep in funny and goofy, but at the same time, get them to play in game. That is honestly my biggest concern. I want them to have fun, and enjoy the same joy I have gotten from D&D, but I also want them to play it correctly, and stay in role. I don't want them to LARP, of course, that is way too far. I'm not real sure how to teach them that. Any suggestions? On a slightly different note, the main DM I have played with in the past use to play the roles of his NPC's a little. He never went overboard and dressed up for each one, but if the NPC was, say, a gnome, he would squat and change his voice a little. If it was a king, he would do that cliche pose with a yardstick as his sword and balance his hands on the "pommel." Overall, though, he primarily would change his stance and voice to match his NPC. Does this do anything to help the players? Should I adopt this strategy? Does it help? [/QUOTE]
