About the adventure
So you've been interested in getting started with Dungeons and Dragons but what you've seen about it looks so confusing! How do I create a character? How do I find people to play with?

Look no further because, here at Gnoll and Void Games, we've tailor made the perfect entry point for total newbies. You'll learn everything you need to know; from building your own character to infiltrating your first dragon's lair, so you can finally get started in a world of imagination and magic! We take a relaxed approach to learning and focus on patience above all else. Afterall, trying something new is daunting enough without being made to feel self-conscious.

Creating your character
In this session, we will go through character creation step by step so this will be covered. However, having a basic idea of the sort of adventurer you'd want to play as is a good starting point and will give you something to build on. Are you brainy or brawny? Do you sling spells or swing swords?
What to expect
Preparing for the session
This game will use FoundryVTT's in built video chat system so a functional computer and mic are required, with a webcam being preferred but not essential. This game will also be hosted on the Forge server, so a login to that is required. This can be done for free at the below link: https://eu.forge-vtt.com/account/signup A second level character is also needed for the start of this campaign. Other than that, you'll just need your sword, and your best one-liners ready to go
What Gnoll And Void Games brings to the table
This game will use animations for theatre of the mind, animated battle maps, and music to punctuate the action and build tension. All within one browser interface, along with the video chat. A rule of cool GM with an extensive knowledge of the system and loads of sources to draw from. I also do the voices

Safety
How Gnoll And Void Games creates a safe table
As this is a learn to play, we will steer clear of any uncomfortable content as much as possible. That said, this is a high fantasy setting with evil monsters that will occasionally step outside of the walls of "Saturday Morning Villainy". Every effort will be made to portray these villains as cartoonish and ridiculous but they will not be above resorting to mind games and trickery. This will use both the Luxton Technique and an Open Door policy so that we can create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone
