[QUOTE="LadyElect, post: 8665751, member: 7031965"] I joked about it in the scheduling thread, but I did start running Wild Beyond the Witchlight for a friend and our wives (neither of whom have played before) this past Monday. I decided to use the Adventurers League Lost Things prelude to ease them into the book proper. I had a feeling they would enjoy the play-as-kids conceit, and it seemed to work to get them invested in the hook despite the inevitable outcome aspect. However, I am planning to start off the first “real” session with the Warlock plot hook as well, rolling them together. I wanted to use the idea that he calls on their PCs precisely [I]because[/I] their experience in the prelude became known around town and therefore he thinks they’ll be more likely to accept his quest if they have their own goals to pursue along the way. I have considered skipping it, but I want to try to ensure they have a reason to engage with chapter 5 early on and I don’t anticipate they’ll question it too thoroughly. And we’re certainly neither a Beadle nor a Grimm, but I mentioned some of the fun extras in their set to my wife and she has now decided to craft butterfly wings to dole out to everyone once they get into the carnival next session. All in all, a success so far. [/QUOTE]
