Last day! I answered every question without a skip...had to use the alternate questions a few times, and these last entries kept getting shorter and shorter, but I saw it through until the end. The best piece of advice--and this goes for any game and for real life as well--is to have fun.
More good advice: take it slow. Don't worry too much about the rules. You are either there to have a good time with your friends or you are there trying to make some new friends to have good times with, so put your best foot forward. Don't judge ALL RPGs, players or sessions by one or two bad ones. Once you find a good group to play with, you will see that this is the kind of hobby that can last you for a lifetime. You will meet and become friends with diverse, creative people that you probably would have never met otherwise and you will tell stories about them and their characters for years and years to come, and somewhere down the line they'll be telling stories about you and your creations. Because as hokey as it may sound and at the risk of becoming the overly dramatic "It's still real to me dammit!!" pro-wrestling fan, at it's best when you are roleplaying you are creating something together. A memory just as real as any other. A shared story that is unique to you and your group at that particular time in your lives. That's something that has largely been lost in our modern society and that's why so many people cherish it.
That's it for 2016! #RPGaDay #RPGaDay2016. Stay tuned for rants about the upcoming election--beware I am a rightwing conservative. Don't worry I won't rant about Killary everyday. See you for RPGaDay2017.
