Not aiming for a win as much as to share a new interest (and to bump the thread).
About thirty years overdue, last month I finally played my
first ever game of D&D with some awesome coworkers. I went in totally cold having only the most basic idea of how to play, but I left feeling great and confident. The DM loaned me his For Dummies book so I could get a better feel for the rules, and I've been absorbing it over the past week.
Today I went and bought my own dice!
I only got exactly what my current character needs, but I'm sure I'll add to the collection later. The brown/black dice are my main ones; my PC's basic melee attacks deal 2d6+4 of damage. The two extra red/green ones are for when my PC goes into a blood rage to deal 4d6+4 damage, and the d8 is for his per-encounter action that deals a whopping 4d6+1d8+4. I'm considering using the small Nerf Dart bag to hold them for now, but Wifey may be knitting/sewing me a more appropriate satchel later.
Game Two is next week and I aim to be ready for it.
