[QUOTE="industrygothica, post: 4008525, member: 23298"] It has been a few years since I've been in a face-to-face game. As is typical in the adult world, real life got in the way and my group have moved on to do much less important things, leaving me in gaming limbo for too long to count. Luckily, I've had ENWorld to keep me occupied. As luck would have it, however, I've managed to find a few unfortunate souls who are willing to partake, so it looks like I've got a new group. Emphasis on [i]new[/i]. They've never played before. Any of them. I get to teach them all. Lucky me. So, I've started designing a simple little introductory adventure to ease everyone into it; there's no reason to go hog wild when you don't know if you're players are going to stick around or not. However, if I"m going to do it, I want to do it right. This is where you come in. I want someone to help me playtest this adventure here on ENWorld before I present it to the players. I want to be able to give them the most enjoyable experience I can, so that hopefully they'll stick around for a while. My hope is that while we play the game as normal, the players will offer significant input for each encounter, be it rules elements or just flavor. Anything from background information to CR adjustments--everything is on the table. After an encounter is played out, I will give you all of the information I have on it, and take any suggestions or ideas you may have. The game will be strictly based on 3.5 rules without modification. It will be a short first level adventure consisting of approximately ten encounters of varying type (combat, logic, social, etc.). I need four knowledgeable players to create a typical party covering the major areas (arcane, divine, skill-based, warrior). Unfortunately, the only thing I can offer you in return is my undying gratitude. Seriously interested players see below for more details.
