[LFP/LFDM][D&D 5e][Free] The Far Lands Prodigies - A New player/First Timer focused community with one-shots, mini adventures and short campaigns!

Greetings Adventurers &amp; Dungeon Masters! First, a little Prodigies history for those interested! My name is Morroes and some of you may recognise me from the original post of our little Prodigies project I made here several months ago. It turned out to be a huge success and we soon found ourselves having to bar recruitment as even with multiple DMs we had over 100 members and more players than we could handle! Now the gates of Prodigies are open once more in a second revival, and so it is we are once again looking for new players to join us! We have upcoming journeys being planned even now that need players to play them! So please, read below and let's see if we can ignite an ember in your heart to get involved and join with us! ______________________________________ The first step, the beginning rung on the ladder, that first sharp tooth taken from that wolf who tried to eat your face. This is where it begins, who knows where it will lead? When I first found that spark of desire to play D&amp;D myself, I was excited but also overwhelmed by how I would even go about getting into that first dice rolling session. Things are certainly easier now but with more and more groups looking for commitment, experience, a monthly sub or more, I know it can be daunting to simply dip a toe in the pool to see how it is! Far Lands - Prodigies is designed to help those people who have heard about or felt an interest in jumping into D&amp;D, but have either been too nervous, too busy to commit long term, or simply too bad with luck in finding a game to enjoy. Prodigies aims to give those new players a first taste of D&amp;D 5E to see if it suits their pallet, and have fun every step of the taste test. And although this is not a full on long term campaign call, I think the chance to meet fellow new players and friends in the same boat as you, and even a potential future group, all while having hours of fun in a game we all want to play still sounds pretty tempting to me! ;) This opportunity is intended for D&amp;D aspirants new to the game, and to give them a few sessions (roughly 3 hours per session) to learn about all the beginner concepts such as making a character, how combat works, skill checks and then to put it all together with a friendly and supportive group looking to dive in just like you! Then once the foundation is set, start the engine up and have some good honest fun playing the game with exactly that, FUN, as the main priority above all! We currently have a multitude of DMs both experienced and aspiring, from both American and EU timezones constantly hosting fun one-shots, mini adventures of peril and even a few official modules such as Curse of Strahd here and there! Because we are a community comprised of multiple DMs hosting, rather than advertise for a specific set time, almost every day of the week and every time is an option to join in. When a DM states their upcoming game(s), you simply need to see if that time works for you, and answer the call! All our games, even including those offered by DMs who run paid games outside of Prodigies, are free here and will never ask for payment from you. And if you believe this is just a call to arms for the players, think again! If you are a DM or an aspiring DM wanting to get support, other DMs to bounce ideas off or simply fresh-faced players then we want to hear from you too! This initiative started with me alone hosting games, then we became 3 DMs, then we became 5, and now we are still constantly encouraging and supporting more new DMs with tips and tricks, resources and Roll20 guidance, let us help you make great games for our great people! So, does this sound like something you want to try out? Then I highly recommend you let us know in the LFG application and even leave a message in this thread below and let's get you involved! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/273650/the-far-lands-prodigies-first-time-slash-newbie-focused" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/273650/the-far-lands-prodigies-first-time-slash-newbie-focused</a>
We have received a great amount of interest and response across the threads posted by our DMs, and so we need more DMs ideally! Big shout out update that if you are a DM and want to get involved, we have a large influx of first-timers that could use a DM like yourself to help have their first game! If you are new: so are they! Why not learn this great game together? If you don't have maps or short stories ready: We can help you there, our maps and notes accompanying them can be given so you can quickly hop in with a tried and true first timer friendly adventure! If you want to practice your skills, help get more people involved in D&amp;D with a great first experience or even just like DMing then get involved! Here is our specific DM application thread. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9704183/are-you-a-dm-wanting-to-help-with-this-initiative-come-on-in-here" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9704183/are-you-a-dm-wanting-to-help-with-this-initiative-come-on-in-here</a>
Thanks to a surge of interest in DMs, we now have more games being ran than the existing players can keep up with! So there has truly never been a better time to get into D&amp;D if you are a new or first time player! We have games being ran this Saturday in the evening at American time, this Thursday in the evening in UK times, and this Friday in the evening at German time, and those are just a few examples! Come and get involved!
Are you guys still taking beginners? I've done my research on and watch a LOT of podcasts but have never been in a campaign personally.
That is indeed the main focus of this little project, follow the link and leave an application by all means so we can hear a little from you =)&nbsp;
