Default Re: Advice for new players thread.

Two pieces of advice that are needed for a third:

1. Pay attention when its not your turn, keeping track of the changing situation. Use this time and knowledge to prepare for your turn - this way you're ready to go when your turn comes up and you can spend your time on doing cool things rather than umming and errring as you look things up and figure out where that orc you wanted to stab went on his turn.

2. Your fellow players are also part of the entertainment. Take pleasure in their playstyle, celebrate their successes, and commiserate with them in their failures.

You'll find that "only" having a seconds worth of actions at a time is pretty good if you're scheming and cheering when it's not actually your turn. The turns go quickly anyways when everyone's been paying attention and has their action ready :)
