About the adventure

Enter the ttrpg hobby space without the nervousness and pressure of being a brand new player among a group of unfamiliar people. Instead, learn to play D&D in a private, 1 on 1 session that is specifically designed to utilize as much time and coaching as necessary in order to give new, uncertain players the foundational understanding and experience they need to join a regular group with confidence.

About me

I absolutely love being a GM. My first time playing a ttrpg was from behind the GM screen and I was hooked instantly. Since then I have enthusiastically spread my enjoyment to anyone who will listen. I am proud to have introduced quite a few people to the hobby because of it.

Character creation

Creating your character

In Part 1, the players will not be required to bear the burden of character creation for this session. Instead, players will be presented with, and choose from, an array of beginner friendly, ready to play heroes. Character creation will, however be covered in Part 2 and Part three of the series.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players will need an account on D&D Beyond (the free tier will be fine). As well as a Discord account. After booking, players will receive a link to join The Adventurer Academy campaign on D&D Beyond. They will also receive an invitation to The Adventurer Academy Discord server. Both will need to be followed and joined well in advance of the scheduled session.

What Benjamin brings to the table

Players in this game will be provided with everything they need that is not already listed. They will then be provided with 1 on 1 coaching in order to learn the basics of D&D. They will also be provided with a GM who has no qualms in regard to dignity insofar as character portrayal is involved. I will do the voices every time if I can.
