[QUOTE="Astragoth, post: 420877, member: 6351"] Gamer Guy, Welcome to our delicious hobby. If you manage to take the treshold of a gamesystem with fairly complex rules you'll be garantueed to be hooked vor a VERY long time. I understand the rules can be very complex and sometimes even intimidating or frustrating for a starting player, and I must say I admire your guts to start as a DM right away. For comparison: I play the game for over 2 years now and I've started to consider running my own campaign only a short time ago. Feel free to ask anything here; we'll try our best to help you. Keep those questions rolling! There's just one advice I can give you now but I think it's an important one: State where you are from and ask an expirienced player/DM to hang out with your group for a evening. The best way to learn the game in my humble expirience is being in the company of someone who actually knows what he/she is doing. If you are from the Netherlands: give a yell, I'll be more then happy to join your group. No matter where you live, I bet there's someone living fairly close by who will be happy to drop by. If you are new to internet and forums: don't post your adress here (for privacy reasons) but just state from wich region you are and leave a e-mail where people can reach you. I'm positive that someone will reply. I think we all love meeting new players. [/QUOTE]
