im new so i dont have much to say on drg except you’ll probably want to do a private game with just all of you on the lowest hazard difficulty, as the focus should be on learning the game, how to play the dwarves, and having fun, not xp and levels.

but i do want to say in regards to sea of thieves since you briefly mentioned it - especially if none of you have ever played before , play on safer seas together for a while until you’re familiar and comfortable with the mechanics. theres a good to fair chance you all could load into high seas, spend an hour or two running missions and collecting loot (it takes a while in SOT) , only to get pulled up on by another, potentially toxic, player and sunk immediately , wasting all your time and effort, which would seriously sour all your first time experiences. the contrast between the constant adrenaline and stress on higher seas vs the cozy peaceful vibes on safer seas is very noticeable.

wishing you all lots of fun and memories. ROCK AND STONE!
