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!

About me
I'm an actor, voice actor, and professional show host that loves fantasy, collaborative storytelling, and world building! GMing sits perfectly at the crossroads of all those things which is why I have a blast doing this! I use different voices and dialects, and I use a combination of theater of the mind and maps to let players find out if that fireball turns that basilisk into barbecue (but your barbarian too)! Whether you're a trying to "live the fantasy" or use your archival knowledge of the system's rules to flex that noggin noodle and make some brain spaghetti, there's a safe place for you at my table.

Creating your character
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.)
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!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
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 Nico de Gallo brings to the table
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!

How Nico de Gallo creates a safe table
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)!
