About the adventure

Calling all rookies and newbie adventurers! I'm looking for 3–6 players that know almost nothing about roll 20 and dnd5e and are hesitant to jump in to a normal session (people can be mean, you know). Let's plan a campaign to go over the basic rules and set up for using roll20 to play Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I'd like to bring the same group over 5 sessions. The first 30 min to an hour will be going over rules and general info. The last 2 hours will be practical application in a more traditional DND session format Session 1: intro to roll20 and beginner character creation with some light role-playing and 1–2 battles Session2: Game theory and status effects with a Level up to 2! We will begin the DND starter classic Lost mines of Phandelver Session 3: Intermediate roll20 crash course, Multi classing and spell and ability terminology Level up to 3!. RP session in town with info on merchants purchasing and magical items Session 4: Traveling and exploration mechanics with advanced battle tactics. Enter the mines of Phandelver Session 5: Individual consultation on the player's chosen character and suggestions on how to RP and play them in combat, as well as suggestions for the future. Conclusion of Lost mines of Phandelver!

About me

Hey there! I've been running DnD 5e for the past decade for my friends as the forever DM for 10-12 fellow nerds. I have run everything from gritty realism to light-hearted RP focused campaigns. I use roll 20 and have several campaign modules, and also do a fair amount of homebrew. As far as how strict I am with rules my #1 rule is the rule of cool then #2 is where is it written and finally #3 that makes no sense and in the future it will be ruled differently. I avidly devour fantasy media and like to shape the world around the group's favorite TV shows and movies. Which is to say it doesn't matter to me if you want to live in Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings or adventure time. Let's have some fun! Discord for available listings https://discord.gg/brV8aq2ANX
