[QUOTE="Rel, post: 4799769, member: 99"] Indeed, welcome to ENWorld. It's a great place. Hopefully we'll soon have the technical issues worked out. My advice would mostly be to your DM (so feel free to pass this on): The players will take their cues from you. If you are upbeat and excited then they probably will be too. If you bring fun to the game then it will probably be fun. Try to learn the rules as you go along but don't let them get in the way of this fun. If they suggest a course of action not covered in the rules as you understand them, don't say "you can't do that". Try to find a way to say "Yes!". Pick the closest applicable skill or stat and just have them go ahead and roll a d20. If they roll a 16-20 you know they probably succeeded. If they roll a 5 or under they probably failed (make that part fun too). It's only if they rolled in the middle somewhere that you need to bother figuring out whether they actually made it or not. After you play you'll have more questions. Post them here and people will be happy to help you. [/QUOTE]
