03-19-07, 04:35 PM Ok, its my first 3-player game EVER. All are starting Lv.1, and im trying to make a basic but good adventure.

First, i alway feel my dungeon does not have enough stuff or choice to take. They are too straightforward.

Second, there is something wrong whit my group...i dont know why but those race/classe choice just wont fit i dont know why.

Barbarian Human (Duh, so easy to play for a first game ever!)
Necromancer Human (he got experience at D&D)
Dwarf Cleric (First game ever...)

03-20-07, 10:30 AM If the necromancer is of the non-evil variety, it sounds like you have a nice little party to play with. If you need help fleshing out your dungeon, take a look at some published modules and borrow from them. That always helps me out in a pinch.

03-20-07, 11:17 PM Relax, have a good time. It isn't rocket science, listen to your players, pay attention to thier mood.

If they're bored, monsters attack.
If they're surly, they find treasure.
If they're having a good time, don't rush things.

Worry about fancy stuff later, for first times wandering through a dungeon killing monsters and taking their stuff is great fun.
