Message: <blockquote data-quote="Laurel" data-source="post: 1762918" data-attributes="member: 17067">If first you fail- Try try again!Unfortunately my first game was horrible-- I was angry and frustrated and couldn't understand how any one would voluntarily play this for hours on end. Later I found out most of the frustration, confusion and angst was not just due to my first time as a gamer, but also the DM's first time as a DM, and in a setting everyone had different levels of knowledge in (wheel of time)-mine being the most limited.  We started off in a town center- no reason to stay so we all walked off since there was no reason to interact. I went to the bar, since I hated the other races in the party. I walked in and said "She looks around."  He said "okay."  Me, "What do I see?"  DM, "you see a tavern."  ".....okay. I walk to a table."  DM- "You can't there aren't any."  Me, ".... okay. I-"  DM, "A guy in heavy metal armor walks up and stabs you."  Me, "and he didn't warrant attention when I looked around the room?"  --in my first game I almost died in the first few minutes of the game, not fun! Since playing more though I see many a fault, a lot mine.--  Then after playing for a while we threw background and PC feelings out the door and just decided to all meet up and that we would like each other. In the attempt to move on.  After about an hour, and only having seen one fight everyone was down but my character.... um.... "I drag six bodies back to town... oh wait I have a negative strength! So she runs for help" Only on return I get told, she took to long they are all dead... the town was sixty feet from the battle!  Basically there were lots of points of frustration, anger, and arguing that just didn't work and too many firsts for people.....   Somehow knowing I needed to try again, my fiancé had me try with some of the same group just asking for a more experienced DM and using plain dnd 3.5.  Since that second game I have played and been intrigued and had loads of fun!!!!!</blockquote>
