A beginner-friendly D&D 5.5e campaign about heroes who just want one peaceful week off… and absolutely will not get it.
“No quests. No monsters. No danger. Just one relaxing vacation.” …yeah, sure. That’ll last.
Welcome to Long Rest Only, a character-driven, beginner-friendly D&D campaign where a group of adventurers—tired of goblin caves, endless side quests, petty bandits, and near-death experiences—have decided they deserve a break.
So they’ve booked a trip to a secluded island getaway. Sunshine. Beaches. Fancy drinks. Zero responsibilities.
At least… that’s the plan.
Because even on your days off, somehow trouble always finds adventurers.
This campaign blends cozy vacation vibes with classic fantasy chaos—think “working on your day off” energy, but in a magical resort where your biggest concern should be what to order at brunch… not why the island locals are suddenly acting suspicious.
While Long Rest Only has a cozy vacation theme, this is still very much a classic Dungeons & Dragons adventure. Expect monster encounters, exploration, mysteries, dungeon-delving, and plenty of opportunities for roleplay and character growth. The difference? It all happens on a beautiful island getaway—so you’ll be battling danger by day and hopefully relaxing by the beach by night.
🎲 Perfect for New Players
Have you always wanted to try D&D but felt intimidated? This is your table.
This campaign is designed to help newer players learn:
how to build and roleplay a character
how dice rolls and mechanics work
how combat flows
how to improvise and immerse yourself in roleplay
how to get comfortable playing D&D in a fun, welcoming space
Experienced players are absolutely welcome too—especially if you enjoy helping newer players shine.
✨ Campaign Style
Beginner-friendly
Heavy roleplay & immersion
Character-driven storytelling
Backstories encouraged (bring your drama 👀)
Lighthearted, cozy, and comedic—with room for heartfelt moments
“Vacation episode” energy with fantasy shenanigans
Hi everyone! Please leave your information here in the comments! I'll respond when I can. Especially your Discord. I'm still looking for more people to join. Newer or Experienced players are welcome!
Heyo! My gf and I have been looking for a group to join for a while. I’m a very experienced player who has been playing since 2014, my gf is completely new to the game and is excited to learn. We both are open to any roles to fill in the party to give the other players complete freedom with character creation. I go by he/him and she prefers she/her. My discord is moss.collector if you’d like to talk further.
What kinds of characters/classes you like to play: I usually like playing the magic classes specifically sorcerer, warlock, wizard, and druid, but I've also played rogue and a little bit of paladin. As for characters I've played a variety of character types and personalities but I always find myself either playing the mom of the group, the voice of reason, or the comic relief those are usually the archetypes I find myself thrust and it is always purely my fault lol.
Your experience level (brand new is GREAT): I've been paying DnD for 4 years now so I'd say my experience level would be intermediate
Anything else you’d like me to know!: Personality and other stuff to get to know me better so you know if I'm cool and epic enough for your island resort game :3. I'm african american, AroAce, I luv dad jokes, Fantasy is my favorite genre, I'm currently writing book, my pronouns are He/Him but I enjoy playing female characters, I’ve kept every stuffed animal I’ve ever owned, I luv watching cartoons, and I'm obsessed with gacha games but will never spend a dime of real money on them because screw that.
I'm still trying to feel out characters and classes. If I had to pick, however, for classes I'd likely pick cleric, paladin, warlock, or a bard! For characters, I'd be willing to try a lot of things or whatever is needed within the story/party!
I'm pretty new! I have played a total of 2 sessions, but those were a few years ago.
My name is Xelqua! I've been wanting to get back into d&d for a while now because I really want to start exploring characters, roleplay, and get more experience overall. I enjoy reading and theater, both tech and acting, but I also really like to write! I'm a lesbian with two cats, and I am really bad at introducing myself!
Hey! I have never played D&D but I would really like to try it out. I'm familiar with the game/rules, as I watch a lot of Actual Play and have been making my way through the Player's Handbook. This sounds like a great way to start. TBH, I've also never used discord but I just set one up. My discord is KristanTracy (She/her) and I'd like to play an Elf Wizard with a sage background (I've built a L1 character for fun).
I and two of my other friends are looking to join a group! One of us is brand new and the other two are fairly experienced. We want to find a group with people who all get along and can enjoy hanging out once a week with. my name is Lee and the best way to reach me is Discord @ Gettomagic
Hi! My name is Adept and im a fresh D&D Player. Ive been Roleplaying other Franchises for a while over Text but ive never done anything D&D like. Since i played Baldurs Gate 3 i fell in love with the Forgotten Realms so id like to give it a Shot!
Your Discord adeptus1neptus
Your pronouns He/Him
What kinds of characters/classes you like to play Sorcerer looks Interesting!
Your experience level (brand new is GREAT) VERY new
Anything else you’d like me to know! Are premade Characters okay? I have a Drow Sorceress that id love to be able to use because im also turning her into an OC of mine, so this would be GREAT to flesh her out! Im not sure if this is still open or not but if it is and you'll have me, feel free to DM me on Discord because im unsure if ill get a Notification on here!
