In the meantime, I will repeat that anyone who knows action-adventures will know what an RPG is.He is likely to be trying to be. Whether he succeeds is as much a matter of system mastery as for the players.If they cannot figure this stuff out by session 2, then there is no hope. Give up and play... hmm, not WoW, because it's even more complex. Maybe Devil May Cry, but no, that's also just as complex. Maybe Lego D&D, if such a thing existed, would be up their alley.Who cares? This is your first session.Mark early, mark always. If you need to be told not to use a power, there is no hope.The one that you, the DM, took care to narrate in a way consistent with its power and position. You did do that, didn't you?If they need to be reminded of this past the 3rd fight or so....Which means you didn't take into account their newbieness.</blockquote>
