Episode 7: What's The Best Starting Level For New Players?
We're join this week by the lovely Carolyn Coney. She discusses her journey into D&D, her large group of players, and how she integrates pop culture into the game. The group then discusses what is the best starting level for a campaign whether you're a new player, experienced player, or just wanting to challenge yourself. Level two or three seems to be the consensus best starting level, especially for new players, but there are other feasible options. We even discuss starting high level campaigns and what benefits and obstacles that can cause. We round off this episode with a rapid fire D&D-based question and answer round.
