Start playing D&D with 0 prep! - Lost Mine of Phandelver

Creating your character

There is a free session 0, where we will talk about what you want from the game, I'll help create your characters and set boundaries, so everyone can enjoy playing together in a safe environment! Think about what kind of character you want to play. Maybe you want to play as a noble knight? Maybe a thieving scoundrel, Holy priest? Maybe you want something you've seen in a movie? Anything goes, I'll help make it happen within the rules. I will also have pre-generated characters to choose from if you are overwhelmed, or don't know what to play.

What Tivadar brings to the table

You can except clear guidance where needed, but you are free to explore the world at your hearts content. You will find many exotic denizens of the forgotten realms, who I will voice to the best of my ability. We will stick to the rules, but if you have an idea, don't be afraid to mention it, if it's possible and COOL we will find a way to make it work. Expect introductory combat, where you can discover your characters abilities, lot of roleplay opportunities with interesting NPC-s and no closed roads. You can go wherever your hearts wish and I will make sure you find something interesting there.

Homebrew rules

I use a few home rules, some of them became standard in the 2024 edition of the book, for example: -Drinking a potion as a bonus action. I will stick to Rules as Written as closely as possible.

How Tivadar creates a safe table

Session 0: We'll briefly discuss expectations, the tone of the adventure, character creation, player cooperation, and basic table etiquette. I'll explain the safety tools and make sure everyone understands that it's always okay to ask questions, take breaks, or speak up if something feels uncomfortable. During the game: We'll use the X, N, and O safety system. Players can communicate verbally, through chat, or via private messages: X: Stop. This content needs to be removed or skipped. N: I'm getting uncomfortable. Let's change direction. O: Everything is okay, let's continue! No explanations are required, and I'll always respect players' boundaries. Players are also free to step away whenever they need to. Aftercare: At the end of each session, we'll have a short, optional check-in to discuss what everyone enjoyed and anything that could be improved. Players can also message me privately afterward with any concerns or feedback. Most importantly: This is a game for first-time players! Mistakes are expected, questions are encouraged, and nobody will be pressured into roleplaying or doing anything they're uncomfortable with. We're all here to have fun and learn together!
