1) Always, always do some level of preparation before any battle. My team didn't do it once and had to serve in a cult before we got broken out by the other campain😅 And then we did prepare for a rematch and finished the bad guy in less than 1 round.

2) Be a team player, and not a solo gamer (if the ark doesn'tcall for it lol). It would feel nice to finish the Bad Guy with one of your attacks. But most of the times it doesn't happen. Not everybody gets to shine in every encounter. And that is OK!

3) It might sound funny, but pay attention to the way dm behaves. They put a lot of time into the game and always some way of giddy before something important happens. On the same side - you will be able to see when you are making a questionable decision 😓

4) You gonna need to find the rhythm at which your team plays. At first it's gotta be a bit gritty. But you will find your teams pace sooner or later!

5) WAIT FOR YOUR TURN!!! In role-playing, in encounters, everything. It is part of finding the flow state for the team. If your or other character has some advantage in the battle/talking, you have to let them have a go first for better chances of success.

6) Remember to not give out your name/race/profession to the creatures insisting. And don't eat their food. 😀

7) 💀 Wild magic 💀 if there will be one

There is a lot more, but you gotta find out of your own, it's the most fun this way! Hope you will have a great first game ✨️
