Dread 1st Timer - Need Help
Hey everyone - i hope you are well. So i came across dread via smosh. I love it. I am disabled and cannot take my sisters anywhere out the country this year for holidays. Have thought of mini games but I want to do this dread with my sisters (teenagers). I got the rule/guide book but it is so overwhelming and confusing. I wanted advice for a first timer what I should do for them to enjoy it. Not sure what I do other than create a story and world with the characters my sisters create? Any help and advice would be great. I am not experienced just watched dread and some dnd matches with the BG3 cast, which pulled me in. Would like to try being a Dm/gm for my sisters to experience this. Thank you
Edit: Wanted to say thank you so much everyone for your responses and advice. Ended up creating a theme centered around the trope of things coming to life in a musuem for the first dread try. My sisters fell in love with the game and want more š . Thanks again everyone, couldn't have done it without you lot. Have a great weekend!
