From TRYING <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />  to play in one of these monsters i have thought up a few tips.Interact and role play with the other characters, not just NPCs.  In smaller groups role playing with mostly NPCs works since the DM only has a few players to devote time to. In a big group you will need to get a good deal more of you role playing done IN-group. Understand that the DM's time will be crucial. make lists for the items you want to shop for. Be ready to take turns when dealling with the dm. Seat the experienced players near the newBs so the Vets can answer the questions.Don't join in on distracting conversations / activities. try to encourage the DM to squelch these with ANY means nessasary. In fact try to encourage the DM to get a 1E iron fist. you might even purg a few peices of excess bagage <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Plan your combat actions ahead of time. Develop tactics with other characters in-game for combat ahead of time so you will have a battle plan prepped.  Examples; Fighters delay for the casters to do a quad fireball launch THEN charge. Heavy hitters should Let the Trippers go first to knock the foes over so the barbarians can charge the prone foe with a raging power attack.DO NOT invite more people without checking with the Host and DM.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Try to have a one- night adventure prepared with premade charaters in case te DM needs a break. i am working on a One shot call of Cthulhu now / delta green senario right now [PX poker night].</blockquote>
