Well, when I first popped up on this board not too long ago it was with similar interests in asking some basic questions. I read Frogbeastegg's extremely valuable guide and picked up more than enough knowledge to get my feet wet but I came here to fill in the gaps in what I knew.
I didn't use the search function but I tried myself to spare people the most basic questions by at least reading my manual, Froggie's guide and also taking an hour or two to read the posts.
Now, I'm the most brutal, cold-blooded, calculated, destructive, conniving, Machiavellan, spiteful, powermonging, blood-lusting, oppressive, war-loving, Egomaniacal, hateful, greedy, paranoid and sociopathic King that has ruled over a nation..... and I have all of you to thank!!! (Sorry, I get a little loopy on Friday plus that Dunkin Donuts Turbo Ice Coffee... like crack, just tastier)
Hehe, seriously though this forum has been awesome in teaching me MTW and I gained such confidence that I began my first campaign on Hard.
