To put it in perspective, the stuff that's in the Best Tips thread would be a US$12.95 book, if it were published and available. There's lots of good material in there, but there's very little that tells you what to do.

That's because the beauty of this game is its flexibility. There are no right answers! If you want an oompha rogue (*imagining elephant feet picking locks*), then go ahead -- it's fine! There are just some tradeoffs involved in it. There are no wrong answers.

The essence of the game is to try, try, and try again. Some games will be easier or harder than others. All will be unique. And around these parts, no one will tell you that you picked a wrong cast of characters, or that you didn't choose them right. You may get suggestions for next time, but there's nothing wrong with your starting point.

Although, actually as I think about it, there is one thing I'd suggest you do first, before anything else.

Start playing!
