Learn to Play D&D 5E - A Simple Tavern One Shot

About the adventure

The name of the game is simple. The goal of this adventure is not to overthrow the corrupt king or destroy the lich's deep dark dungeon, but instead to learn to play this incredible game and have fun doing it. This is the perfect session for beginners that want to learn more about Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. We will cover all the basics from social encounters to combat in a small, simple, and enclosed space. Hopefully, by the end, you feel confident enough to try out another adventure!

How to prepare

Players do not need to do much to prepare. Sign up for a free account on D&D Beyond for the character-building process and sign up for a free Discord account to join the video call. A Roll20 account is optional but not necessary.

What I provide

I will share access to a plethora of character options on D&D Beyond, as well as the knowledge, experience, and patience that is needed to guide people through their first time playing.

Gameplay details

Session 0 will cover what to be prepared for and an open-ended discussion about what makes you uncomfortable. Notes taken from this session will influence the game. Of course, at any point during Session 0 or the eventual game, players are welcome to share thoughts or concerns as the game isn't meant to be incredibly immersive. There will be a lot of questions and answers as the game progresses that might disrupt the flow anyway, so it's safe to say that any concerns are welcome at any time.

How will character creation work

Character creation will be a guided process that aims to give players the tools to go forward and make their own characters the next time they play. While the discussion might touch upon the more complex character classes like Wizard or Sorcerer, for this experience, the focus will be more on the basics like Fighter, Rogue, or Barbarian.
