Dungeon Crawl 101: An Open-Table Intro to D&D

Dungeons & Dragons 0e, SOJOURN | Campaign

About the adventure

Felt that dungeoneering fever but never knew where to start? Our game’s got you covered! Join us for ongoing adventures in a mythic world of dark ruins, dangerous monsters, and wilderness wonders. New players are welcome at any time. Every session, we’ll cover the ropes of character creation and advancement before diving into exciting escapades. Whether as warriors, rogues, zealots, or mages, we’ll learn how to think creatively and work together with an adventuring party to overcome all sorts of fantastical challenges. No prior experience with D&D or RPGs is required! We’ll be using Sojourn dungeon-crawling rules, which are easy to learn and rewarding to master. Free digital copies will be provided to every player.

Additional details

How to prepare

We’ll be running the adventure mostly through Discord video chat. You’ll need only a free Discord account, a webcam, and a microphone. Please make sure to test your webcam, microphone, and internet connection in Discord in advance to make sure they are working. Once you sign up to play, you’ll be sent a link to our private Discord server. Each game session will last around 3-4 hours. All rules will be explained as we play. If you’re the kind of person who likes to get a head start on learning, you are welcome to read the first 6 pages—the “How to Play” section—of Sojourn RPG in advance. Feel free to ask questions at any time during play!

What I provide

I’ll bring a curated soundscape, evocative maps, dazzling images, and anything else we need to have a grand adventure together. Dice rolls will be handled via bots in the Discord server.

How will character creation work

We’ll start with “level 1” characters just beginning their career as adventurers. As Referee, I’ll help you create your own custom characters, or you can choose one of any number of exciting “pre-generated” characters ready to play right away. Time will be set aside at the beginning of each session to talk about characters and character creation.
