I've played DnD as a teenager with my friends 15 years ago and was the DM at the time. Recently I've bought the newest books for a fun read and immediately got hooked again. As a kick-off I'd love to play a couple one-shot sessions with low level characters before diving into longer campaigns. To shake of the rust, the mini-adventures will focus on the basic role-play, combat and ability checks. If you are new to the game please don't be afraid!
Here are some quick facts more details bellow:
Game: D&D 5e (2024) Group type: Online Experience: Any Location/Timezone: Start 4-6 PM UTC + 1. Session length will probably be around 3 hours Roles sought: 2-4 Players of any experience level. Newer players might have more fun though. Game style: Casual play
About the Game and Expectations:
As mentioned before it's going to be one-shots I picked from popular lists online. Set in (or brought into) the Forgotten Realms. Which might mean that players, who already gathered some experience, run the risk of having already played them before. That doesn't exclude anyone from joining but I'd ask people to not spoil anything for others. Again the idea here is to get together, role some dice, in an environment where mistakes happen and rules are (re-)learned.
Characters - Background - Species
Anything from the Players Handbook (2024) goes. I'm also happy to provide premade ones or help with creating your own. We will be starting at level 1 and go from there.
Stats and Alignment
Personally I like the standard array but you can also roll your stats. That is if you like the randomness and not because you want to create a character who's just great at everything. Your characters flaws can make other character shine.
As for alignments. I'd say anything that falls on the spectrum of hero adventurer. From the most lawful of Paladins to a Rogue who's fingers occasionally slip and find themselves in someone else's pockets. If you want to play a chaotic evil character, murdering everyone on sight you will have play with a more experienced DM who can run a campaigned like that.
Sensitive Elements
I want this to be accessible and friendly. There will be creatures and themes from the core 5e books but if there are any specific enemy types that aren't working for someone there is always a way to modify what opponents you may encounter. I don't want to run an overtly explicit or mature game nor a particular grim-dark one. Again I'm sure there are DMs who have years of experience under their belt who can play out those settings but for now I hope for this to be classic DnD.
Dice rolling and Online Tools
I'll be rolling physical dice and I'd encourage you to do so as well, but that might just be my nostalgia talking. So if there are any online tools or apps you like, feel free to use them.
I haven't decided on a platform yet and any suggestions are welcome. I thought zoom but I also understand that some people might not like to mix work and personal spaces. That's something that we may have to decide on as a group.
All that said, I hope that there are people out there who want to join and are as excited as I am
