     I certainly enjoy playing AG and highly recomend everyone who
likes this type of game to give it a try.  The recently posted FAQ
gives some general advice on character design.  For new players, I
highly recommend playing a human.  Humans are the most versatile
and design errors can be corrected more easily than any other race.
Other good first time races are goblins, dwarves, and ogres (very
limited in variety...they only make good fighters).  It is probably
best to design a high str/dex, avg to above avg height character for
the first try.  Good weapons for this sort of design are low weight
decent parrying weapons such as long sword, broad sword, or warhammer.
I (and others I am sure) would be happy to answer any specific design
questions that you may have.  Just post or mail your design goals,
proposed stats, etc.  Races to avoid as a novice would include:
Half Trolls, Minotaurs, and to a lesser degree Lizardmen and Halflings.
Believe what I say about Half Trolls....my first character was a 7
dex Half Troll.  It was a distaster.  I wish I would have had a
clue then.
