What are some of the best early game moments you experienced with new players?
Whether it's a hilarious moment, an epic fight or a simple "THIS ROCKS" moment, please post bellow.
For me, it was probably my first gaming session at my friends house. His dad and his sister joined as well.
The party:
" The friend" Thief, a rogue who is an elf who is an idiot
"The sister" Merisiel (she liked the name) a drow summoner
"The dad" ( he played dungeons and dragons when he was a kid) The name of his character is long and complicated, but probably involves a J. He was playing a tengu monk/brawler multiples ( we started this game at level 4)
The beginning involved a tense shadow and mist drake fight, an enjoyable friendly dragon fight, and the sister asking "Can I summon a pipefox? I want to smoke it". The session was awesome, and ended with the PCs solving a riddle where I hand each Player a note changing the way they play their character.
I had: Always lie, Really high, and Wants to die. They had to solve the riddle where one guardian told the truth, and the other one always lied... but there was a third one holding a pipe, who was really drunk but provided (often crazy) hints, swapping between liar and honest at random... They later solved a similar riddle, except I gave the players 2 notes each and had them swap the notes near at random... And the next day they started steamrolling my campaign. Oh well.
