More Useful Tips Don’t worry about having to learn everything all at once. As with most game systems, it’s best to give yourself time and explore at your own pace. We recommend that you avoid actual combat (i.e. involving the Dice Roller and math) until you hit at least level 5, unless you like risk and a slow grind. The roller can be unforgiving to new characters who may be poorly prepared. Feel free to roleplay your participation in combat as part of your narrative. Look at other player’s journals and threads for samples and inspiration. Remember that each threa

Getting Started The easiest and most beneficial starting point for new players is to complete the <<First Few Lessons>>. These have been deliberately written to help familiarize you with some basic game systems. You could also write a thread entirely focused on narrative roleplay. Don’t feel like you need to restrict yourself to the lower floors, or cannot write as if your character engages in combat. Just be careful about actually engaging in system-based combat when you are first starting out. Tip From a Veteran Other early recommended quest

We’ve provided a basic template, but you may edit the style to your liking (check out this thread for some ideas). Just be sure to include all the required information when creating your journal, and keep in mind these few restrictions. Players cannot be beta testers for Sword Art Onli
