International Tabletop Day is Saturday, April 29, and for the first time I will be gaming that day.  I’ve been commissioned to DM a teen birthday party, with one experienced player and several guests new to RPGs but eager to start (one has already drawn his character).  Since this is an introductory one-shot, I’ve been brainstorming ideas, and posting some inspiration here all week, for a homebrew adventure with certain assumptions:

By request there is a dragon.  Since it’s the name of the game I’ll put it in a dungeon.

Provide pregenerated PCs matched to miniatures that obviously look like they can do what the PCs can do.  Players should be able to get the general idea without understanding all the fine print on the character sheet.

It helps that it's not 1974 anymore so most people who have never touched dice still have an idea about what orcs are, what sort of things a wizard can do, and the differences between a rogue and a ranger, an elf and a dwarf.  They’ll probably all know what character levels and hit points are, and what the base stats mean, if they’ve played Pokemon or Fallout or almost any game on any platform.

Let the heroes be heroes -- High enough level to beat the big bad, but not so high they are burdened with too many special ability rules to learn all at once.

Keep it simple -- Highlight the initiative bonus, to hit, damage, and AC #s on the sheets, and wear a con shirt with a big D20 on it to make sure they know which one to roll most of the time.

Jump directly into action within the first minutes.  Characters can show each other who they are and what they can do instead of sitting around talking about it at the inn.  No long rules lecture up front, just start telling a story then prompt them when it’s time to make choices or roll dice.

Include some variety of iconic monsters and settings -- orcs raiding the village in the woods, a crypt with undead, the hall of statues where one comes to life, some classic oddball creature like an ooze, owlbear, or mimic.

But kill your darlings -- Time is limited, make sure we get to the dragon, anything else can be cut and saved for another day.

I really, really liked Inis. Not sure if I like it as much as Kemet, but I think I like it better than Cyclades. Regardless, it's a great series. #boardgames #internationaltabletopday #inis #matagot

Matt with Steve Jackson Games demoed IDW Games "Rayguns and Rocketships" for us on day 1 of Kingdom-Con 2017. Rayguns and Rocketships was designed by Scott Rogers and currently has 10 days to go on Kickstarter. We enjoyed our play and backed it right away. This is the only prototype and is set to be featured on Geek & Sundry on April 29th, this Saturday. If you want to see more check out our posts on Instagram and twitter.
