Brendan was new & playing for his first time–he had a well tabbed PHB that I friend had helped him with & he was playing a fantastic Ranger build. It was great to get to know him.
The table was fairly crowded–I ran the combat without mini’s because there was no where to set out the mat–this edition supports free wheeling play very well.
The other table was also running a largely minitureless session which is good to see!
Jack has very ugly dice.
I had a very good cup of coffee–which was nice to see
We fought some Hobgoblins–the art in the Monster Manual for these guys is amazing! I had not really read up on them before the session so I ran them as basically orcs, but it looked like the book had a lot of good information on them and their background–I plan to go back and read that stuff.
Also, Chelsea built me this amazing dice bag because I had supported her in the Linen contest she did a while back–I love this thing! Note that the beads or whatever on the tie’s have DM letters–so rad!
