Undead Apocalypse! | D&D Beginner Learn to Play Battle Adventure

How to prepare

This game is for total beginners. You don't need to prepare anything related to D&D. You WILL need the following basic tech items for the Zoom meeting itself: 🖥️ computer or tablet 💻 🎥 webcam and microphone 🎙️ (laptop or tablet built-ins are fine) 👥 Zoom app (or web interface) I will send you some informational links that you can explore or not, and I will walk you through everything from the first session when we choose from the pre-made characters together. I'll introduce important rules step by step as they become highlighted in the actual gameplay. I won't blast you with them all at once, nor will I leave you completely in the dark. 🎲 It is definitely fun if you can get your hands on a set of those colorful, many-sided dice, but I will send you a link to some free, easy-to-use virtual online dice if you can't. Optionally, if you hate math and just want your character sheet to do all the work for you autofilling, rolling digital dice, and calculating as you roll, you can open a free D&D Beyond account. You automatically gain access to everything in the free basic ruleset, and you can claim the pre-made character of your choice! And that's it. You're ready to roll!

How will character creation work

Creating characters is fun and interesting, but it's also a little overwhelming and takes a lot of time...  So, in this adventure, we will all use the pre-made characters and jump right into playing the game.  These characters are the classic archetypes from the original Dungeons & Dragons game and cartoon, and they have some unusually powerful magic items that will be fun to play with.  In fact, they have ALL the powers and abilities you may have seen throughout the animated series, which is actually a little "overpowered",  but hey, let's break some stuff!
