hi,
I'm back from vacation and again bothering my fellow Ironworkers for advice I'm thinking about starting pen and paper role-play with some friends but have never done that before I fancy the 2nd ED. AD&D Forgotten Realms because i know most about it from BG2 (now don't you ridicule me people I told you I was only a PC-Player) Now: What would I need in equipment (char sheets, rulebooks, dies,...) How many people are sensible for a PnP session (is 3 too little? is 5 too much?) any other advice (start with MEarth it's easier, never switch masters, ...)

Character sheets can be found on the web for free. Dice- at least one set with: one-d20 one-d12 two-d10 one-d8 three-d6 one-d4 preferably each player and the dm will have a set of dice D&D can be played with as few as 2 people, 3 will work, and anymore than say 8 can get a little hectic. I have played with 12 people before. If you use a premade module this will determine the optimal amount of people, but a good DM can tweak the difficullty to suit any amount of plauyers. I prefer 4-6 players. Other advise- Find a module designed for beginner. Read up on the rules before playing and have atleast some of the other people playing do the same. Switching DMs is fine, but it helps to finish one adventure before doing so to keep up momentum....hmm if I think of any other advise I'll share. Any questions?
