If you have enough experience to make your own custom adventure for your players, I'd recommend that, so that you can easily adjust it to suit your players needs and preferences, as you go.

But if if you're not comfortable with that, then probably just use the campaign that comes with the d&d starter pack (lost mines of phandelver or something like that).
It's not an especially amazing campaign, but it has a decent mixture of dungeon crawling and roleplaying, and the story/encounters are simple enough for beginners to understand. It's a safe bet to ease players into TTRPG.

You could also try a totally different system. I hear good things about Blades in the Dark. I've never played it, but what I hear sounds like it avoids overwhelming new players.

Elevators exist to give enough time to load in the next floor.

Naw dog

So you're saying that Wario is alternate universe shadow the hedgehog????

Nobody is arguing that Freud was right.
They're explaining why Freud named it the Oedipus complex.

I agree with them. Just because Freud was wrong doesn't mean his reasoning for the naming wasn't consistent with his beliefs. He believed that the ignorance allowed Oedipus to express the internal desire that would otherwise be inhibited.

He was wrong, but that explains why he named it this way.

I mean, if you're serving over http, that is the port for it

Yeah, only that last option is a unicorn. The others are totally typical, and totally honest depictions of what it'd be like.

It's bullshit that the opposite of "impeachable" is "unimpeachable" instead of "peachable"

Now that isekai has firmly established itself as a subgenre in western storytelling (although it has always been there in some form), it got me thinking about what to call the subgenres of isekai itself.

If isekai itself is being transported to another world/universe, and reverse isekai is someone from another world being transported to ours... Then what do we call someone from another world being transported to another other wold? Or someone from our world being transported to another time in our world? Do these have names already?

Setting aside if we like or appreciate isekai, if they don't have genres names yet I thought it'd be funny to come up with our own. What do you think we should call all the sub-subgenres?

 

This cow is clearly a boss, IDC what you say.
