I hadn't really thought about it much in the past because I'd had no problems getting a group for a game. I still don't, except now with our newly born daughter in the house, I'm cutting down on the amount I'm going out. I still have one group that game once per fortnight, but that's it and my brain knows it's not enough.I work a boring office job for a boring utility company with boring colleagues and a boring work schedule. Because I have more than the intellectual capacity of a toddler, I tend to finish my work early and have to sit around 'looking busy' until I'm allowed to clock off. D&D-by-Post seemed the answer to my prayers! My co-workers would think I'm ploughing through work, when I'm actually ploughing through orcs.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Whilst I'm at work all day my girlfriend is at home looking after our daughter, Indie. My girlfrend loves when I come home from my fortnightly game because I'll sit down and tell her the story of what's happened. In the last year she's watched my character grow and develop and watched me get more and more excited as she does so. I thought it'd be nice to solve two problems at once and get her set up in a play-by-post game too. This way she'd b introduced to D&D first hand, and not go out of her mind with boredom being stuck in the house every day!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> I was mainly looking for some advice on:1) Where can we find a good game like this?2) Would a new player be able to join a game like this?3) How on earth does combat work in this system?4) Has anyone got any advice on this topic?Cheers all, thanks for reading.-Ben and Sarajaine.</blockquote>
