TEFc Dungeons and Dragons night?

Jacklo's picture
Edit;

Thank you so much for the interest guys! I'm going to put a little cap on the players now, because this is only for 4 to 6 players and though I could boost it to 8, that still means some people wont get to play this time and I feel awful about that.

Everyone will still have the opportunity to learn how to make their characters and fill in sheets and join the discord for questions though, its only going to be later I have to do the dreaded player cull.

-------------

Hello guys, a little interest check for you!

I'm currently working on setting up maps for my first ever d&d game where I'm the DM. I would like to practise on you guys using a very easy pre-written campaign and pre-made maps.

It is for 4 to 6 players, and everyone starts from level one. There is no need to know anything about dungeons and dragons before I tell you to so dont worry if you've never played before or dont understand how it works. Once I get closer to being ready to let you play we'll make a discord or something for you to discuss how to make characters etc.

Nothing is as yet set in stone, but to join you would need.

One night a week (between 6pm and 11pm GMT) where you can spare an hour or two.
A working microphone and be willing to talk in a group.
A roll20 account (these are free!!!)
A discord account (also free!Exclaim)
IMAGINAAATION!!

I'll talk more rules about what is and isn't allowed and what i will do for inactive players and people wanting to join later on in a different post or an update to this one, this is just a general 'would you want to play d&d with me and my bf'.

I'm not sure I can or would

I'm not sure I can or would like to, but I love this kind of RPG.

But can non-players come and keep track of the adventure? I really would like to follow the story and all but without participating.

I hadn't considered that but

I hadn't considered that but I think it would be cool! You could join in the game and the discord chat so you know when we're playing I just wont assign any tokens to you. If you ever decide to play I'm planning to include multiple moments were new adventurers can jump in down the line for if people want to swap their chars or leave/join the game.

This is awesome thanks guys!

This is awesome thanks guys! I'm working on the maps right now placing tiles and preparing notes on loot and enemies so in a week or so I should be ready to make the discord group!

I'm going to edit the main post as well but for now I'm going to put a limit on the players, This is only intended to be 4 to 6 players and I could boost it but only by one or two extra players, but I'm definitely not going to be able to get everyone interested in the game at once, I'm only a newbie DM and my far more experienced DM boyfriend says its a bad idea.

This doesnt yet mean only the first 8 people are in, I'm going to let everyone in the discord and everyone make character sheets because that'd probably weed some unserious people out, and then if worst comes to worst we'll roll for slots.

As a census though, would you guys prefer a one shot campaign (over in 2 to 3 games) to get a feel for it, or a storyline campaign?

I'm usually biased towards

I'm usually biased towards longer storylines because I get super attached and invested easily, but maybe to ease everyone in it should be a oneshot? Or at least a shorter story? I guess it depends how much work you feel like doing |D

I was thinking of doing a

I was thinking of doing a oneshot WITHIN the story, a sort of 'before you go to (where the story begins) you go to (a small town/a cave/a castle) first' so at the end people can leave, or respec, or join new chars?

Wait a mINUTE. Are we

Wait a mINUTE. Are we inserting our TEF characters into this because god that'll get messy REAL quick.

Perhaps we can have arc-like periods of 2-4 games that would function almost like chapters? As Jacklo says up there, at the end of those, people can join in again. Was that what you had in mind?

No? Everyone makes new

No? Everyone makes new characters following DnD 5E rules.
edit; you can make your tef char following 5e rules (e.g theyre not a deer theyre an elf ranger) if you want lmao im not your boss

And there will be chapters of sorts, but its when characters reach certain milestones, so say if you start in a town, and then go through a big field, then a cave, then reach another town, its the second town i'd give people the chance to leave/join, respec etc.

ahhhh ok I get ya yeah that

ahhhh ok I get ya
yeah that sounds nice, that could also work for cycling characters in and out, you could have a plot to follow and "episodes" within it that would facilitate new characters coming in or out in an easier fashion. Good idea C:

A oneshot within the story is

A oneshot within the story is great. I know I've got a few oneshot characters I've used repeatedly within my rl group, because the DM kept everything in the same world/story.

DnD 5e. Oof, I'm gonna be right in there learning a whole bunch of stuff, too (if I get through the cull). And yea, it sucks to have people sit out until next time, but as a beginning DM, it's for your overall sanity. A lot of players gets confusing really fast, so hopefully your bf will give you a hand if/when things get chaotic?

I am hyped for this. No joke.

ya just an afterthought I had

ya just an afterthought I had but yes that makes more sense @jacklo

The town thing also works! I'm excited for this ^^ I've never played D&D before but I think this is a good opportunity to start.
