Hello! I'm an experienced DM, looking to run Lost Mine of Phandelver for new players. The Lost Mine of Phandelver is a short adventure, that will take players from 1st to 5th level. You'll learn the mechanics of playing the game, and the basics of roleplaying. If you're nervous about creating a new character, don't be! I have plenty of pre-generated characters, as well as those included with the adventure. What Do I Need To Play? You will need a Roll20 account, a DnDBeyond.com account, a Discord account, and the Beyond20 extension for Chrome or Firefox. All of these are free (but have paid options, if you get way into D&D and wanna run your own games some day, the paid options of none of these are required ). You'll also need a device that can run these applications (such as a tablet, laptop, or desktop), and a reasonable internet connection. You'll also need a microphone, but not a webcam or anything. Technical stuff aside, you just need a willingness to learn, and an imagination! When Will We Play? We'll be playing every Saturday, at 1 PM EST. The length of the sessions will be determined later, but 3-4 hours is usually a pretty comfortable amount of time. We will play weekly. Is This Game Free? 100% Other Information Please only inquire if you've played none or very little D&D before. I finally have the free time to run for new players (with social distancing and whatnot) and so would love to teach new folks how to play. Story Information: The Lost Mine of Phandelver begins with the
assumption that you have accepted a task from a dwarf named Gundren
Rockseeker, and his companion Sildar Hallwinter. They have asked you to
deliver a wagon of goods to a place called Barthen's Provisions, in the
town of Phandalin. You will be paid 10 gold up receipt of the goods.
Beyond this information, it is up to you to think about how your
interaction with Gundren came to be, and your relationship with your
fellow adventurers (if any). For example, you could be a former
acquaintance of Gundren's, and he sent you a letter personally. You do
not know your fellow adventurers, but based on the fact that Gundren
contacted them, you know they must be somewhat honorable. Session Zero: Session Zero will take place next Saturday. Session 0 is a special game session, where we discuss the adventure, world, and characters in more depth, so you know what to expect from the game. Additionally, as you are a new player, we will cover the basics of the character sheet/character creation, and the core mechanics of the game. If you're interested, please post the following information below: Name, Age, Timezone, the Type of Character you'd like to play (please be more informative than just Race/Class, but also don't write a novella of a backstory; include the phrase Pickle Stomper in your reply to show you've read all of this post), and any other concerns or questions you may have, or information you think may be important. Replies that don't include all of this information will be ignored. Replies sent as private messages will be ignored.
