DnD Boot camp [ Free first session] [tutorial] [Learn to play]
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
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!

Mainey is a fantastic GM. In my case, they expertly ran a one-shot dungeon, and, aside from all the qualities of a good GM, they demonstrated excellent time management. Mainey went straight to the point while also caring for the stakes and the characters, and had a clear idea of the players' expectations for the session. They understand the types of players they have at the table and accommodates to each of their styles. I'd definitely recommend and play again.
Don MAINEY was an exceptional DM, making our session incredibly fun and engaging. He embraced the "rule of cool," allowing for creative and spontaneous gameplay that made each encounter unique. His use of music was spot-on, perfectly setting the scene and enhancing the immersive experience. Don's storytelling was vivid and compelling, and he expertly balanced the narrative with player interaction, ensuring everyone felt involved. Overall, playing under Don MAINEY was a blast, and I look forward to our next adventure!
