Hello everyone, I have a dream: That everyone who wants to play but feels too intimidated to start playing have a way of getting around it. Who among you is willing to take on the same project i have? Even if just for once. I have been providing a community service all by myself for a few weeks now. I created the Campaign " Teaching Beginners D&D 3.5 ". I am getting such an overwhelming response that i feel bad for not being able to run a game for the 10+people who apply daily to join it. At first i put no limits to the number players, in two weeks i had over 100 applicants. Seeing as i could only DM for 6 people at a time and a lot of those applicants didn't show up, i decided to start over and create a new game each week unique to the people i would introduce for that session. Its Easy! All it takes is to initiate a one-session game to teach players how to create a sheet properly and then introduce them to combat and roleplay for a couple of hours. After that, one of them can take up the game forward. Most importantly, tell all of them that they can become DMs themselves right out of the bat! I set up the campaign with "easy to follow" instructions for the players to learn the process of creating their own sheets, here is a link to a document with the text i used for it. Here are two pictures that show it in action. Before a session i do a thorough review of the sheets telling the players what to change to make it fully correct before we start playing. This ritual is important to solve a lot of questions that can come up during play before the session even begins. The only resource required and allowed is the 3.5 Players Handbook. If any of you have any questions please contact me.
