A Party Of Newbs

Why is it that starting level adventurer partys only have novices in them? Its like the masters of said novices tell them , " Go ahead and adventure now and dispite spending much time and money training you I won't go with you but hey you have got your other inexperienced novices to help you survive." Who says training ends at first level? I was thinking of old school Clerics who don't have any spells yet. Why would they go out adventuring alone? It seems more likely that a group starting to adventure would hire or otherwise get someone experienced to join them. So the next I'm Dm , a starting party will have a couple of higher level NPCs to" guide" them. Anyone else like this idea?

Shift Of Focus

I get it . I think I really get it. MMOs I mean. I of late have been entranced by the World Of Tanks online game. Its a MMO for tank vs tank combat with 1930's to 1950's vintage armoured vehicles. Despite not being a RPG it fits the MMO mould. You fight battles to get experience and money to research and accuire better tanks and equipment. I have been at times been caught up in a quest to improve a tank or with better equipment. Or get enought points to upgrade to a better tank. This is not that different then what you do in a MMORPG like World Of Wracraft. There is very little roleplaying in WoW and thats the way most like it given its huge popularity. The only connection to traditional RPGs is perhaps its fantasy setting. The design of WoW was influenced by RPGs. Yet now it seems to have reversed this and now influences RPG design. I speak of course of 4th ed D&D which many have said plays like a pen and paper MMORPG. The early days of roleplaying seemed to focus on exploring worlds of fantasy. Now the focus seems to be on improving your character. I wonder when did the shift occur or at least start to?

Showing Mine

I thought I would jump on this bandwagon and show you my dice collection. The large plastic dice container made an earlier showing on a previous post. I still have even more dice as part of the many games I have, especially the several Axis & Allies sets I own.
