There's ALOT of information to take in and you're not going to catch on right away. The DM is there to guide you through, so just listen to what he/she is telling you and you should be fine.Anything, really. It all depends on the people you're playing with.If your group is a bunch of social rejects with little to no redeemable personality traits, your experience will be painful and you'll likely want to take a shower afterwards.If your group is a bunch of drama queens that like nothing more than to bicker and make themselves the center of attention, your experience will be boring and you'll wish you'd brought a gameboy.If your group is a bunch of cool people with a good sense of humor and a laid back outlook on life, your experience will be worthwhile and interesting even if you decide to never play another game in your life.Odds are, you're group will be a mixture of these types, however and throughout the night you'll experience all these things and more!Make no mistake, many basement trolls and bottom-feeders play this game. That is no misguided cliche. However, perfectly normal and abnormally awesome people also play this game. There is no subculture of society which doesn't have D&D players. It's a great stoner game, it's free entertainment for punks, hippies, and carny folk, and because it's a social game, jocks, preps, and yes, even girls, are frequently closet D&D players. "Hey, I play D&D" isn't going to be the pickup line of the century, but playing this game can open up your circle of friends to people you normally would never have crossed paths with and that may very well help your chances with the ladies. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD AND RIGHT IN THIS WORLD, don't bring home one of the basement trolls and bottom-feeders. I know it sounds cruel and if you've ever been the unpopular kid in school, you know how crappy it is to be ignored by everyone around you, but trust me on this one. No good will come of it.</blockquote>
