My new Dungeons and Dragons group met for a session to build characters so that we can get right into the action for our first session next week. I'll be running the Curse of Strahd module for 4 players, starting at level 1. It looks to be an interesting party, including a chaotic-evil penguin, a chaotic-neutral dinosaur, and an androgynous Tiefling that may attempt to create a Frankenstein like necromancy project on the side. For two of my players, it will be the second group they have played with, though they did not play much with their previous groups. The other two players have never played before, so it'll be interesting to see how things work out. I am new(ish) to D&D as well, and I will be taking my first steps into the role of the DM.
