I used to play chess against myself, too, when I was around 11, and then played other games as I got older (M:TG, etc.). I am looking forward to actual game experience, though, as I'm sure that'll be even more enlightening.I don't run them, no, but I'll likely get a little more towards that direction than I'm used to. The advice at the end of your quote, above, is something I've been keeping in mind, and I have tentative plans to drain healing surges via skill challenges when I feel it's appropriate. Also, harassing them or stopping them from getting extended rests might come up at some point, but I definitely don't plan to do that regularly at all.Hmm, that sounds a bit complicated, since I don't really ever take notes other than NPC names (and that's usually for the players to look at, not for myself). Also, I don't have much in mind for the non-combat challenges yet, other than making their way up a large, cold mountain. So, navigating, climbing, protecting themselves from the elements, keeping an eye out, concealing their presence, etc. will all come up. I'll likely drain a few healing surges via this challenge prior to any combats in the game, providing the players bite on the hook I'll be throwing out. But, for now, let's take a closer look at your (skill challenge [skill challenge]).Well, this is pretty relevant to what I had in mind to start us off! But, mine won't be as exploratory / accidental. They will be climbing on the outside / exploring the inside of a tall, cold mountain, though, so all that stuff you listed I can gank for any skill challenge they perform.

But, if we do get that fourth player, it might really round them out. I won't know until I know whether that player is playing, and then I'll need to sit down with her (and the Monk / Warpriest player) and make her character.Hmm, I may or may not do that. I'm not familiar with it, and I don't usually watch documentaries alone. Maybe if I can get a friend together and watch it, I will. I'll check it out beforehand, though, so that I can get a feel for it. Thanks for pointing it out.</blockquote>
