Intro to D&D (New and Beginner friendly)(Free Session Zero)

Creating your character

We will create the characters together during session 0 using the DnDBeyond character builder. I will be available on Discord for any questions about your character and it's building process. If this is your first role-playing experience, I will take the time to explain all the subtleties of character creation and help you through the process as clearly as possible. We will be using the D&D 2024 players handbook and starters guide for character classes, races, and other options. Some of the main options on the character builder we will be using are: "Points buy" - for the ability scores. "Fixed Hit Points" - for Hit Point calculation. "5.5e Core Rules and the 5.5e Expanded Rules" - for the Sources used in character creation

Preparing for the session

Links to the DnDBeyond Campaign and the Above VTT plugin will be provided in the Discord Channel.

What Alex brings to the table

This adventure will include: -Battle maps -Tokens -Character sheets -Access to all Rules -Music -Discord server Rule Set: We will follow the 2024 rules as written primarily. If you want to attempt something creative that is not covered in the rules I will do my best to come up with an appropriate skill check or such to make it happen. I do love to reward creativity. Assistance for beginners with getting started: We will be utilizing the base 2024 rule sets and options for character creation. There will be a wide range of pre-generated characters made for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed with the process. I can also guide and advise on any character you would like to create yourself. Tactical combat and perilous exploration: You'll need to work as a team and be creative to survive. Many traps and enemies await you and you will need to rely on each hero's strengths to overcome these obstacles. A narrative experience: I have always been more of a tactical DM and am still learning the intricacies to immersive story telling. My NPC voices are terrible but that does not stop me from doing them. Together we can make this an epic and unique adventure worthy of your story... or your death...
