@Taskerland @RogerBW @Printdevil Given a few bad dice rolls, it’s very possible that that first encounter will end in a TPK. When I’m running something for people who haven’t played before I give them a chance to make a skill roll for something like shooting a bottle off a wall or arm-wrestling their friend, where they can fail and learn about pushing a roll or facing a non lethal consequence.

@satsuma This wasn't about understanding the mechanics though... this was about understanding that it's a fictional world and it's okay to go 'Is there anything that we might be able to use to fashion a raft?' Understanding how to push dice is a skill that should come after the basic processes of engaging with a fictional world. @RogerBW @Printdevil

@satsuma @Taskerland @Printdevil I dimly recall the sample adventure in the Games Workshop RQ2 did this. There's something up on that cliff, make a climbing roll, There's lunch on the hoof, make a Bow roll. That kind of thing.
