About the adventure
Have you always wanted to play D&D but never got the chance? this is your chance to have a professional teach you how! I have been playing D&D for about 7 years now, 4 of which I have been GMing. The purpose of this "one-shot" is to show new players how fun Dungeons and dragons can really be! Your characters will be hired to find and kill a hoard of goblins that has been terrorizing a town. This mission will give you and your group members a chance to learn the core rules of D&D, those being: rules of combat, how to roleplay, and character creation.

Creating your character
Character creation will be done during session 0. a "session zero" is essentially where you lay ground rules and speak on character creation. All other rules will be spoken about during this session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to make a discord account and an account on "D&D beyond." using your account on discord, you will join the server I have listed. Your next step will be joining the D&D beyond campaign I have linked in the discord server.
What Nathan brings to the table
I bring what some players would think of as an extra flair, and what some would think of as basic necessity to every game I GM for. I will do voices, I will do actions, I will even attempt accents at times. The "rule of cool" is always present at my tables, and my relaxed style of GMing is certainly not for the sticklers of D&D.
Homebrew rules
Drinking potions takes a bonus action. On a critical hit, you are given a chance to roll again. this means you can score up to 4X damage on a single hit.
