All of the above is good advice; published adventures will save you *so* much time and effort.

I'm not sure if this is a possibility or not, but having an experienced, helpful player amongst your newbs is beyond useful. Your group will feel like he's on their side and follow his lead when they feel stuck (which can happen to a lot of new players, especially if they're not overly familiar with the genre). If someone experienced is not available, one of your potential players may be interested in going through the rule book and getting a feel for things. They can then take the place of the "experienced" player. If that's not an option either, then have an NPC be a part of the party; a Strider to their hobbits, if you will. These options all boil down to the same idea, really: an in-character help system.

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / New World Campaign Episode 12 Issues (Archive.org)

I've been trying to get caught up on New World Campaign and found that episode 12 on archive.org ends abruptly at 2:13:50, right in the midst of invading the Thieves' Guild!! Sorry if someone has mentioned this already, but is there an intact copy around somewhere?

I, too, would like to clamor for Monsters and Other Childish Things.

RPGs / Anyone in the Know on World of Darkness?

« on: November 14, 2012, 02:36:13 PM »

I'm about to run a World of Darkness game to try and get my group interested in playing it more. In asking about Changeling: the Lost and Hunter: the Vigil at my LGS, they told me Hunter "must be out of print" and Changeling was about to be reprinted so he couldn't get it for me at this time. He obviously didn't know anything about WoD other than it existed so I don't know how reliable that information was. Anyone know anything on that front?

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: D&D Next

We finally did some playtesting of D&Dnext and I enjoyed it. Our DM is playing through the included adventure in another campaign, so he made one up for us. It primarily consisted of getting us into as many battles as possible and I was really impressed with how quickly combat went. I enjoyed it immensely and I was really expecting to hate it.

I would just like to add in my complete adoration for Caleb and his amazing-ness. Caleb, you are my GM-ing hero. I'm pretty excited to run Bryson Springs for our Cthulhu Thursdays.
