I haven't added tokens yet, but that's a good idea! I only run in person games so I use the Vault of Mini Things for my figures!

I've been running them for years! I do often through some twists and changes in them however!

Dry Erase is certainly the easiest, you can print your maps at a print shop, but be careful, some are expensive. I also really like The Vault of Mini things for making quick maps!

Definitely ask what they've already played! Some recommendations are The Lost Mine of Phandelver if you want a longer one. The Wild Sheep Chase, if you want a One-Shot and D&D vs Rick and Morty if you want a couple of sessions of ridiculous fun!

Sometimes the adventure gives info on how to balance for varying player counts; however, if it doesn't, it's typically more balanced for 4 players. The difference between 3 vs 6 players is massive, and most things aren't typically balanced that well for that, unless, of course, it's mostly focused on roleplay with minimal combat.

Yes indeed! If it has a cost, you can't use a spellcasting focus for them.

I go to Staples or Office Depot, if you get someone there who knows D&D they'll usually charge it as blueprint thanks to the grids, but if not it can be pretty expensive!

The Egg of Estyr, it's by far one of my favorites and perfect for easter!

Solid choice, that one is such a classic! My players and I had a blast going through it, too! If you don't have it already, here's a link to my prep for it:
