[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9571109, member: 27385"] If half the players never played anything before and you are asking them sit for 2 hours of making a character- you might lose some of them. You need to start fast. Have pregens available like a convention game. Put them on a road heading to a mission when they are attacked. Give them a bit of combat to start out and roll some dice. Get to the town and your contact for the mission is missing and you go save them. 3 hours max. Then, like next week, take the people that want more and bring more but expect some to drop out since it is not for everyone. I like the idea of a gladiator-style combat. If you are doing each person to show off some, remember that the others are just sitting doing nothing until they get a few minutes. This might lead to boredom and wandering on their phones and such. Might be better to have everyone in the combat and have a monster set up so they need to be shot with bows and arrows or magic, and another monster that is big and has a lot of HP so the fighter gets to do damage, and another monster that needs another special thing another PCs has or the combat is part of a trap the rogue needs to disarm while in combat. Most important is to relax and have fun yourself. [/QUOTE]
