[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 97279, member: 94"] Aaargh! I should probably post this under the "greatest failing as a DM" thread but I really messed up the dreams. (Underprepared, not enough prep work!) I read their dreams aloud to them. And only then did I notice PC's AWESOME note about handing out the dreams and letting them read them silently to themselves, then collecting them back up so that if they wanted to share the dream with others, they had to deal with "the fading nature of dreams." What a fantastic tidbit that was. I was kicking myself. That's just such a great "mechanic," I will never forget it again. At any rate, the boy is a little sqeamish-- he wasn't at all happy with the barbarian's dream sequence! He went a little green. There is nothing in the world so good as the first D&D experience. I reflect fondly on that time as a player, this is the first time I think I have ever DM'ed for total newbies. I have long maintained that the greatest "newbie" adventure was Keep on the Borderlands, but this one is so well written it may find its place among the classics. Wulf [/QUOTE]
