[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6451296, member: 6785485"] Hey all, I stumbled across this thread while looking for information about the D&D starter set. I have been elected by my non RPG playing friends to be our DM (nobody else wanted to do it, and I really wanted to, so I guess that worked out well), and will be using this starter set to get us going. Thus far, I have yet to play any RPG, but will be joining a Pathfinder game that is ran by a co-worker. The players in his group are all experienced d&d and Pathfinder players, so I think I should be able to pick up enough from those sessions, and combine it with the starter kit to get us all rolling some die and having some fun. The cool part, is that from talking to my non experienced friends, they are all just excited to get playing (as am I) and we all seemed to agree that groups seem go by their own "house interpretation" of the rules for some things, and are able to rigidly adhere to "the rules as written" for other stuff. We will learn and adjust as we go along type of thing. I gave them all the forewarning that I will not have a clue of what I am doing, but they didn't seem to mind as they don't either. LOL! ;) [/QUOTE]
