Back when I started my first game of Basic D&D and how plain awful it was. I mean it was pitiful. I tried to run Keep of the Borderlands for a friend who I think barely had the concept of roleplaying in mind when I introduced him to the game. I remember asking my uncle (who gave me the game to begin with) how does one actually play this thing?? Even he didn't know. Of course over the years my understanding of the game grew, however it would have been nice to get some advice or words of wisdom from someone who has played before. You know, just some small tricks, or things to remember to make the game easier. So I thought, that if any new players to role playing ever come to this website, that they could find some small tidbits of advice from the online community. Perhaps you have something that you would like to pass onto the next generation? You know such as:1. Yes Dragons will devour you in one go. If you see one, run away!!2. Dice have minds of their own and will let you down when you need them the most. Find a set that seem to like you and stick with them.3. For all that is sacred and holy, don't argue with the DM until the game is over!4. If you think that DM is out to get you...you're right!I would think up of better ones but I'm on call right now and its 3:11 AM where I'm at. Anyway, what bits of advice would you give to aspiring players and DM's?</blockquote>
