Last night I attended the first D&D session of my life.

Three noob players, an expert master. Good situation for us, bad for him. Despite that, with patience, He quietly led us to the adventure.

I decided to play as Yurijh, a human wizard, son of Candlekeep. In RPG and CRPG I always try to make characters as close to my person as possible. About that, once someone asked “Why do you like wizard so much?” and I was blown away, but then I found the answer: “maybe because in school I wasn’t one of the strongest but one of the smartest”.

The environment was really good. Rectangular long table, monitor with contextual images and sounds at one end, master on the other end. We players at the sides. In the middle a big battle mat on which we moved our miniatures, some map elements already prepared, some others drawed along the way by the master.

Seeing those miniatures, those colorful dices, those pencils, the master’s cover, the various notebooks, it excited me. I had no idea it could excite me so much.

The game lasted about 3 hours, not much happened because the master took advantage of the first session to repeat some basic rules and also talk about organizational stuff.

I don’t have much to say. I’ll just tell you that casting Fire Bolt 🔥 and knowing you’ve incinerated a kobold was galvanizing and I can’t wait to play again!
