Thank you so much again for answering all these newbie questions...

My advice is to send out the rules you want to follow to your players via email. I would also suggest a "session 0" for character creation where stats are generated in front of you. More effective might be to have a bunch of session 0 opportunities where you can walk through creating a PC with your players one-on-one... important if you have new people so you can dedicate your attention to them.

I have a special process for character creation which differs depending on what each player wants to make, so a dedicated session often works better... plus you can keep character stats private this way between you, the CK, and the player in question.

TL;DR there's no right way or wrong way to do this - you have to pick what you want to do as the CK.

@ JohnD

That is awesome advice...thank you very much.

do you mind sharing your process, or would you like to keep it on the Down low? no biggie if so...

I really want to be a good/effective/fun GM for the party

Sure. I'll drop you a PM tomorrow when I'm not using an on screen keyboard and can actually type reasonably efficiently.

Boy oh boy...that was super helpful...Thank you so much...I will need some time to fully digest it and apply it correctly, but it certainly has helped so far.
