Learn to Play Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
The horror has come - the ale is gone! No more booze!! A devastating crisis has struck this quaint village, as the local brewery has mysteriously ceased production, leaving the town's drunkards and alcoholics in a state of despair. Brave adventurers, it is up to you to uncover the dark secrets behind this tragedy and restore the flow of ale before civilization as we know it collapses.

Puts fun twists in games, encourages players to try creative approaches to problems, uses great music and sound effects that fit the vibe of the moment, creates dynamic NPCs for interaction, always prepared and knowledgeable about the game world as well as the rules, just makes DnD a total blast to play!

My partner and I had an awesome time in joe's fully immersive learn to play session, he was super friendly and helpful, as well as guiding us with help when needed! Would 10/10 recommend joe to someone new or even with a ton of experience, we had a great time!

I played is the "learn to play" session. Joe is very patient and explains the game well. A comfortable environment and a fun one-shot was provided.

I did a "learn to play" session with Phoenix and it was a blast. He did a great job explaining while keeping the game moving along, and was very patient and fun.

Joe ran a fun campaign! He made it easy to jump right in and start playing without getting too bogged down with all the rules, though he made sure to explain things as they came up. Definitely a good GM if you're trying DnD for the first time!

How to prepare
Players should have the following: - access to a webcam/mic - a dndbyond account (for accessing the game and VTT) - a discord account (for playing the game)
What I provide
I will provide all necessary links to play the game and all game material. Such as, the discord server, dndbeyond campaign, Map/VTT, and characters! I mainly focus on roleplay and story telling with a bit of puzzles and some combat to keep things spicy. I am a very rules light kind of GM I use the rules more like guidelines and just want people to come together and have a good time playing some dnd!
Gameplay details
I will briefly go over what the safety tools are, how to use them, and where to find them in the discord server, at the start of the session
