I would like you to keep up the good work you know how to make your post understandable for most of the people.

I am looking forward to following this new blog, and am especially curious to hear an Eastern view of RPGs. I Like what I see here so far!

Hey there! I love your blog and I keep tabs on it from the RSS feed that I have at http://lordsoftyr.com.

We record almost every game we play in our Lords of Tyr group. We use uStream, which works just fine. There is a free uStream Producer application that makes things pretty easy.

If you are using a Mac, then CamTwist is a must have and its free. On the PC side WebCamMax

Thanks for your thoughts, guys.

I agree with Wyatt. At this stage, I guess it's more important to introduce the newbie to the idea of an RPG than what are the rules...

If newbie has fun, isn't that enough? Sometimes in case of newb players rules are made lighter, or they might play rules light D&D clone or even another game and system than D20 altogether.

If you don't want to "ruin" D&D altering rules so newb gets wrong idea how rules work in that particular game, introduce the newbie to rpg's with totally different game

If there's dice, rules and roleplaying, to me that's an authentic RPG experience. It's not anyone's prerogative to try to steer a new player into some vague mold of what a perfect and gregarious rpg gamer is. It's not anyone's responsibility to come up with an optimal first time for a newbie unless they choose that responsibility. Your GM just wants to make a fun game, let

Hey Mad Brew,

Actually Lisa Stevens came along and told me that it will be pushed back to 2011 because they wanted to make it perfect.

That's cool, Paizo's got my money anyway.

Might hold off on the Campaign Setting book. Paizo is releasing the revised World Guide that brings everything up to date with the PFRPG rules. Comes out in September.

I'm running into a similar issue creating my own wiki for OP. How much information is necessary? What should actually be there?

At the moment, I'm updating it slowly, working on session logs. As something comes up in the session log, I create a wiki page for it. So if they encounter several NPCs or a certain organization, there is a wiki with a small blurb.

I'

I tend to post only the bare minimum of what the players need to know in order to navigate their way through the world/current storyline. The Wiki then builds as details are developed or need to be added. I like your starting list -- in fact, it's more detailed than mine is (see http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/rubies ).

I've found that my players want a pointer to

What I did for my Alder King game is that I just created very big Home Page for the wiki, linking to all the major settlements, cultures, tribes, and al the session reports. The system still works after 36 sessions.

If you check out some of the settlements (eg.
