[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 5836427, member: 63245"] We are actually in the middle of the first act of Knot of Thorns, it's been a blast so far. I have several first timers to RPGs in general, and honestly I believe this is the best way of showing them the versatility of roleplaying games. It's hard to describe playing an RPG , people dont believe you when you explain that you can do / attempt anything you can think of. Most people are accustomed to video games so more often than not, people want to get into fights because they are conditioned that way. This really explores the freedom of table top gaming. So far my party consists of a Ninja, Gunslinger, Inquisitor, Pestilence Sorcerer (who's crime was poisoning an entire village's water supply a la Kefka) , and a Dwarven Ranger. They almost party wiped getting out of the main fortress at the beginning. It all went sour when the group split up (one set went to explore the prison more, and the others went out in the courtyard. That's where one of those "memorable moments" happened... so while everyone was off doing their own thing the dwarf pissed in the fountain in the courtyard which is acceptable and funny . Thing is that's when the people inside began exploring and one thing led to another, and the dwarf was the only person to survive ... so as a GM I made the fountain one of a "cure light wounds" type of thing. So pretty much the dwarf began scooping up his cure light wounds / piss concoction and set everyone good. It was awesomely hilarious. We are playing again this friday! [/QUOTE]
