MODERATORS
Start your first session by rolling initiative.
I've found the whole meet and greet song and dance of the classic tavern intro to be incredibly awkward, stressful, and unhelpful for establishing the game save for highly skilled and experienced DMs
Opening the first session mid-goblin attack though? Instantly engaging, diverting, and an excellent platform to introduce our heroes.
