Something wicked this way comes

So some simple facts about this group to start you of.

I have been playing/GMing for 20 odd years.
The 4 girls have various experience in roleplaying games but none of them have played DnD or only played 1 session. As far as i know the actual roleplaying experience is low for all involved.

Thats right, they are NOOBS

A comment came up and it something that has been repeated before in my time. Why would some one with as much GMing experience as i want to run with a bunch of noobs.

2 reasons realy

There all hotties.

Secondly
I actually find those who dont know the rules, or the stats, or the equipment you can get are the most amount of fun. Everything is new, they dont try and poleaxe (or other appropriate power gamer phrase) the system as experienced players tend to do. They try things out with less fear of knowing if its right or wrong and generaly have more fun interacting with each other and the NPC's more than worrying about a 16 or an 18 in strength.

Except when we forget the two NPC dwarves in the group.

So the Cast of characters.

Ill start with Singhourny Spellweaver the Bard, the player in this position is the friend who linked me to this group. Sicne i have known her she cops more of my ire than anyone else.

Well Singhourney mission in life is to find any song that either matches a bard singing ability or spell. Examples like Blinded by the light for the Light spell, Simple the best/We are the champions/ for the courage song

Next is the Rogue of the group. Valhalla Hawkwind. Valhalla currently represents the quietest of the group. But when i say quietest it does not translate to quiet. But everyone else bring more attention to themselves which is quite handy for a rogue.

The, "Pop culture hasn't influenced my Life" Character is Xena the Barbarian. The thing about dnd is it isn't always fighting, generally the rogue and bard will do the talking or investigating (In this group) meaning the fighters of the group have to find their own entertainment that doesn't require many skill rolls. Ins aying that when you have only a couple of skills to choose from almost all of them take Intimidate and learn early how much fun the skill is.

Xena is the providor of food, even if its in an uncooked format and still bleeding with entrails hanging out of it (poor piggy wiggy).

Last but not least (And i do truely mean that) The Female Half orc Fighter Gretchin. All i can say is imagine an ugly female who isn't over concerned with modesty with a goblin tied to her chest.

Ok so some of my tips for creating characters for NOOBS.

• Dont make them buy their equipment, just give them the items they would start of with.
• Give them their feats to help them along. give a couple options if required but it goes quicker if you help them out and let them learn as they go.
• Give them their spells if they have them
• Of all of the above once they start to understand and learn allow them to make changes afterwards
