Those are some good questions. I wasnt going to create a background for her though, I just wanted her to see some examples to draw on. She is definitely more creative than I am, so I'll definitely leave the making of the background up to her.

I was hoping for a more complete background that someone has done for their own tabaxi character. Unless of course those are complete backgrounds, I'm not exactly experienced in this. I just want her to have some examples to see what notes she should hit in general or maybe spur some ideas of...

So my daughter wants to play as a tabaxi, shes 10 and loves cats so perfect fit. I'm not a veteran d&d player and not the most creative either, so I was hoping you guys could show me some background of tabaxi characters you have made. That way I can show them to her and she can get an idea of...

I wanted to thank everybody for your help and suggestions and just let you know how it went. I wrote out sticky notes for each section, firefinger this time, and stuck them on the book. When it was time I just took them out and stuck them on my ToA screen( the screen is a massive help too...

That would probably be a good suggestion IF I could get them to watch that. I have a hard time getting them to watch a 10 minute board game review to see if they'd be interested. We'll just have to tough it out and learn through playing I think.

Kind of a freeze up, and then I said oh there's soldiers going about their duties and the merchants in the bazaar. Something along those lines anyways. I KNEW there was people there I just forgot to say it.

This is probably a good idea for me, I can sometimes get stuck on trying to overexplain. Though that might be because my wife and daughter don't quite grasp how open the game, how you can pretty much try anything. Perhaps I should go more minimalist with descriptions, and help them along with...

I can't bring myself to destroy a book like that lol, however I gave copied it. I think I'd do better with some notes rather than highlights anyways, thanks for the suggestion though! One day I may try it.

I only sweat it because I miss fairly big details sometimes, which are kind of important for their immersion lol. I'm not agonizing over very little thing for sure, my wife and daughter don't care for little details, if a description is long they stop paying attention.

Thanks, I'll talk to then about that as well. That's a good idea to roll with the question to help my description, much more flyid.

She was puzzled. I think I may have described like the person they were following and a couple guards on the walls, so she was wondering where everyone else was. I know I'll make a lot of errors being new, but I'd like advice from long time players. I also know this is a problem not just...

Thank you, that's a good suggestion. I have noticed that they don't say much. At first I wasn't sure if that's all I was supposed to say or not. I'm still hesitant to give out too much, but maybe too much is better than not enough. I remember my college english teacher stressing all 5 senses...

I keep the book there with me, of tomb of annihilation. I would not try to run it off my head. So are you saying write down a few points in addition to having the book?

So I've GM'd a few times, we're all new to it. I think I'm doing ok for a beginner, definitely not spectacular. Anyhow, my wife pointed out last time by asking "where's the people?" They in a fort in tomb of annihilation. I described the buildings, and the surroundings and just completely forgot...

Maybe jungle treks, it's at the Dmguild. It's a collection of 6 mini adventures, not all having combat.
