This week we had one table which was mostly 2nd time players. You think they're likely to come back if they spend most sessions TPK'd? I had TPKs a number of times last season with balanced parties. And I wasn't trying - honest.It was actually kinda amusing last night. Two newish guys, early 20s, maybe 8 or so sessions under their belt, no previous experience. One forgot to add stat to damage, the other forgot how to mark as a fighter. They expressed interest in trying out Lair Assault. I like these guys, but I think they might get a bit frustrated playing LA. Eventually I agreed to run a game near the end of the first LA run (November) if they felt they were ready. Actually a number of Encounters guys seem to be interested - mostly players who, IMO, think they're better than they actually are because Encounters tends to be pretty lax (aside from the Dark Sun season). But it wouldn't really be fair to run LA and go easy on them , would it? OTOH, if they're good sports, it might teach them something. I'll have to wait and see what the adventure looks like as well.</blockquote>
