A Most Potent Brew! A Learn-to-Play One-Shot for Beginners!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
New to D&D? Great! That's exactly who this one-shot is for! The Wizard's Tower Brewing Co. has a small problem: giant rats! Seems simple enough, but you'll soon find that the this brewery didn't get its name for no reason. Discover the secrets that lie beneath, getting a taste of dungeon delving, combat, and (some very light) puzzle solving! This one-shot caters to new players who have either never played before or who are still learning the ropes. That means it's a completely safe space where you can ask as many questions as you want, and nobody will be bothered by you not knowing the rules because that's why everybody's there!
This is a quirky, wonderfully straightforward one-shot for people new to the game. If you join early enough and hop into the Discord, you can plan your party with the other players, and I can guide you through character creation!

Nico is a wonderful GM, especially for new players! They do funny voices and walk through game mechanics without it feeling like the pace is dragging. Informative, kind, and passionate about the game!

Nico was an awesome GM for my first campaign! They took the time to make sure I was understanding everything and didn’t fall behind, which put me at so much ease! They also allowed for lots of creativity and the storytelling was so much fun. Such a great mix of role playing and battle. It was engaging, exciting, and I would definitely play again with Nico as my GM. 5 stars!!

Had a great time today! Nico is really good about checking in with people and creating an immersive environment where players can have fun with their characters!

I love playing DnD with Nico. The world immersion is the best. Nico adapts the story to how the players like to be deceptive or go all in. Best DM ever.

Wow! Talk about story telling! Nico brings unmatched vibes with mood music, sound effects, brilliant characters, seamless use of maps, and thoughtful prompting to get players to connect with one another if they're playing together for the first time! I 10/10 would play with Nico as GM again!

Additional details
How to prepare
You'll need a camera and a microphone, Discord, and a free account on Owlbear Rodeo. Before the adventure, send me your character sheet so I can look it over as well.
What I provide
We'll be using a virtual tabletop called Owlbear Rodeo, custom tokens, and digital maps. I also offer assistance before the game via my Discord server where you can ask any questions you have leading up to the session. There will be music and voices too! This is gonna be a blast, and I guarantee you'll want to play again!
Gameplay details
I use periodic breaks, but players are free to use the bathroom or do whatever as needed. I ask for Lines and Veils to find out what you're comfortable with. At the end, we do Stars (things you enjoyed) and Wishes (things you'd like to see more of)!

How will character creation work
You'll need a level 1 character. For setting Ability Scores, use "Standard Array". Any additional questions you have can be asked directly on my Discord server, especially if you've never made a character before. For newbies, I gently discourage using D&D Beyond. While it can be a handy tool, it causes a lot of people to make characters without knowing how they actually function, and you end up like me, playing 7 years and not knowing what half the numbers on my character sheet even mean (I mean, now I do.)
