In this episode of RPG Blokes, we explore what new and returning players need to know before their first RPG session. This is Part 1 of a two-part series designed to ease you into the world of tabletop gaming and help you make the most of your first adventure.

We dive into the importance of preparation, from understanding basic rules to deciding whether you need a rulebook at all. Do you need to study the lore or have a character fully mapped out before you begin? Not necessarily—but it can enhance your experience! We share tips on balancing background knowledge with the joy of discovering your character during play.

The Blokes discuss character creation, whether to arrive with a clear concept in mind, and why focusing on fun rather than "min-maxing" can lead to a more enjoyable first session. We also explore the role of game lore and how understanding the setting can enrich your experience without overwhelming you.

Ultimately, it’s not about memorizing rules or crafting the perfect character—it’s about taking that first step, leaning on the support of your group, and immersing yourself in the collaborative storytelling that makes RPGs so special.
