[QUOTE="grgrsslldlln, post: 5491828, member: 6671937"] Hey, This is my first post on this forum so hopefully I don't break any rules or do it wrong. Sorry in advance if I'm doing anything wrong. A little background: For the longest time, I've wanted to play Dungeons & Dragons but it's just never happened. I bought the three core rulebooks for 3.5 years ago. I even bought the D&D for Dummies book (And then the Dungeon Master for Dummies book once I realized that I'd be the one having to DM!) But after all that, I never managed to get a group of players together that would consistently play. I bought a lot of minis and played DDM with a couple friends, still dreaming that one day I'd get a group together to actually play Dungeons & Dragons. THEN! Fourth edition came out! And supposedly, it was "better," easier, for new players wanting to get into D&D. So I thought to myself, "I'll give this another try." I went out and bought the 4e PHB and KotS. I got a group together, they all made characters, we all had a good time....but nothing. No interest. The group just dissolved right after the first meeting.
