[QUOTE="The_Gunslinger658, post: 2124412, member: 22387"] Hi ya- Minitures are optional, but I would recommend a battle mat and use penneys, dimes and/ or nickles as your guys. Toy's R us has cheap plastic minitures, just an FYI. you and two to four more would be just fine for a new group and DM. As for advice, make your adventure heroic and the players the stars, as they grow in power, have NPC's start to take notice of their deeds. Be organized with your notes as well as keep notes of interesting NPC's and events, one thing thats embrassing is going to the next game session and you as the DM cant remember the name of the bar wench your players interacted with last week and now they are asking what her name is.........again!! No need to rush out and buy a campaign world, plenty of good ones on line and use your imagination. Keep the first few adventures simple so as to get a feel for the rules and not overwhelm your players with too much detail. I''m sure I missed something, but I'm sure my fellow Gamers will step up and add more. Scott [/QUOTE]
