D&D 4th Path to Glory Introduction Campaign for Beginners

Greetings, For the past year or so I have been running my D&D Path to Glory campaigns for new players and I have had a fantastic response. At this time I am getting ready to start the next table and I'm opening it up to anyone who is interested in learning to play 4th edition D&D and/or tabletop in general. If you have ever wanted to get into tabletop games this is the campaign for you. Please review the information below and respond. I will be making a table of 4 players (and myself as DM) and the seats will go to the first people that confirm they meet the requirements and can play. Requirements. 1) You cannot have played D&D 4th before (preferable never played a tabletop before). This game will be specifically to teach new players how to play tabletop, and I have found this works best when everyone (besides the DM) are on the same level. 2) When gaming on roll20 I want to be able to talk with the group and the group needs to be able to talk back. Text based conversations are too slow and cumbersome on the DM when trying to teach new players. For this reason, you must have Skype and a microphone to participate in this game (video is not required). The built in roll20 audio never seems to cooperate with everyone in the group, so skype will be used instead. 3) I live in Eastern Standard Time (EST) and I will be running the campaign on Saturday mornings or early afternoons. There is some wiggle room on the exact time but it will be a 4 hour time slot between the hours of 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. The first session will be one week from today (3/8/2014) and there will be two more play session on each of the following Saturdays. Please confirm that you can play all three play sessions. What you can expect for this campaign This will be a fun, light-hearted introduction to the world of tabletop gaming. The first session of the campaign will be character generation and an introduction battle to learn the basic mechanics. No per-generated characters, we are going to learn how to play the game from scratch. From there I will have a two-session home brewed mini-campaign with these characters. This campaign will have no specific setting and thus no lore that needs to be studied. The campaign should give all the players a good feel for the game and have a chance to see all it offers. Finally, if you own a digital or hard copy of the D&D 4th edition Players Handbook, great you will need it. If you do not, I will supply what you need so you do not have to spend money on something that might not be your cup of tea. Let me know if you are interested and I will PM you further details. I look forward to seeing you at the table!

HI! I might be interested. I have never played any tabletop before, but I am somewhat familiar with the basic mechanics. That being said, I do have much to learn, and could really get a lot out of this. One issue for me, though, is being on the west coast, your 8am is my 5am, and I'm not positive I could have much fun at that hour.

hello there. I have never played tabletop games before and i'm interested in joining.

Zak, like I said in the post 8:00 - 5:00 is my open window. Ideally I would like to have the campaign towards the end of that. If we gamed from 1:00 - 5:00 (Eastern started time) would that work with you?

Yeah, I do think that would work for me.

I am new and want to learn badly, I have the red box at home but have never even cracked it open. I am available nightly from 6 mountain time until midnight

I wish I could join, I can only confirm two of the three days, I work 24 on 48 off and I don't think my supervisor would go in for me taking a whole shift off to learn D&D. Good luck to everyone who plays though!

I've read the 2nd, 3rd and 4th edition player's handbooks but have never played. I've been reluctant to join games since I have no actual tabletop play experience so this sounds perfect. I'm also in the eastern time zone, have Skype with a mic and am available for all three play sessions.

I appropriate all the interest, it's always great to see such new interest in tabletop. At this time all the seats at the table are full. I run this campaign every 1-2 months so if you did not get an invitation (they were first come first serve) I will be running the campaign again very soon.
