About the adventure
This is a weekly one shot session for players who have never played Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. We will be starting the session assuming you have no knowledge of any roleplaying game and build basic skills in a stress free story. Players will start in the modern world, then enjoy some games at the local town fair. Players arrive in a fantasy town and receive a quest, which leads them on a short adventure. We will use Foundry VTT and Discord voice chat for this game and all my others. You don't need any experience with either program to join, but you will have to download and install Discord. Before we continue I want to point out again. This is a one-shot. I will be running the SAME game every week. This means when you play this guide one time it will not change if you play it again. After a brief self introduction, we will jump right in. I will explain the foundry UI, and then we dive into your introductions. These will include short stories, and a few rolls to get you used to the basic flow of the game. as we progress I will slowly introduce you to more and more elements. By the end of this session you will have a good understanding of the mechanical flow of the game. We will cover the main rules that you'll encounter every session, and I hope to hit many of the smaller rules that you'll encounter normally, but please understand this game is vast and one session cannot cover everything. As a new player you should expect to have many questions, this is part of learning the game. Every person once began where you are now.

About me
Greetings weary traveler! You're just a few clicks away from your next journey through the forgotten realms, or perhaps embarking on your first adventure. I am The Custodian. I've been given the task of making sure you find your proper spot among our ranks. It matters not where you come from, or how long you've been traveling. My only concern is that you have the heart to finish the jobs you start. So I ask you now.....Do you have what it takes? Or will you falter like so many before you?
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Players will be given a D&D Beyond link when they sign up for the game. No character is needed for this session, but I would like each of you to go through and follow the steps needed to make a character. We will find a time where I am available on discord chat or voice to work through and answer any questions that may arise with each of you.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a free Discord account, and will need to join my server. We will be running the games through voice chat. Players will also need a free account on The forge(https://forge-vtt.com). A free D&Dbeyond(https://dndbeyond.com) account isn't needed, but the character creation is much easier.
What Runes and Revelations brings to the table
As a player you can expect a fun tutorial. It certainly won't be the greatest most memorable game you'll play, but this isn't for that anyways. This game is for learning with a smile, and making friends while you do it. As a DM I have done everything I can to make your transition into TTRPGs as simple as possible. My first game was within the last 5 years, so I still vividly remember what it was like to join a group of players who already knew. This will help reduce that. We will start off with a very simple foundation, and build slowly up from there. In this session I provide a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I have put a lot of effort into making sure your first game is as informative as it is fun. You will have visuals such as maps, and theater of the mind scenes, as well as ambient music during the scenes.

How Runes and Revelations creates a safe table
Players should expect to feel safe during this game. It has been designed for all ages, so the most a player should worry about is fighting goblins or wolves. If players do feel overwhelmed I use a green yellow red system that will be explained in Discord, and I am always available after my sessions.
