EDIT! Thanks for front page everyone

For those who cannot read my horrible green text on gray background:

@tigrium made a cleaner version http://imgur.com/a/5FWfs

Lately I've noticed a lot of D&D posts and in comments people keep saying they want to play. So I took a few hours and set up an easy, "Intro to D&D 5e" game over Roll20. I would like to send an open invitation to everyone across Imgur to come join my game.

It would take about 3 to 4 hours for a full game. This includes character creation and a small dungeon to explore and have combat experience. Having a mic is preferred but is not necessary. I'm open to having many game and set up what day/times work for everyone.

So if you are interested, E̶i̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ or send me a message saying when you would like to play. This is designed to be a straight forward one-shot and introduce the basic mechanics of the game. This is a learning experience on both parts; you the player, and me, the GM.

We will be using the D&D 5e Player's Handbook, if you don't have it, that is okay, there will be (Wizard of the Coast approved) free .pdf's that you can use as a reference. Just bring an open mind and a commited time to play. I'm hoping for 3 to 5 players per game as the challenges I have provided requires that amount of players.

RULES: (because I have to say these)

I WILL NO TOLERATE RACISM OR SEXISM IN ANY SORT OF WAY BY PLAYERS.

But if you character has a problem with halflings or elves, that's okay. Just be mature

Okay, glad that's out of the way. I just had to say that and get it over with. Just be cook, alright?

That was the text from above.

Game times set up so far:

Thursday 6/16 - 8pm EST

Saturday 6/18 - 1pm EST/ 7pm BST UTC+1

Saturday 6/18 - 6pm EST

S̶u̶n̶d̶a̶y̶ ̶6̶/̶1̶9̶ ̶-̶ ̶ ̶7̶p̶m̶ ̶E̶S̶T̶ (cancelled, sorry)

If there are people who want more, there will be more! Send me a message and I'll send you an invite and you can choose from the game discussions board what day/time for that game you want to sign up.

I know. I tried to run Edge of the Empire online, with players in 4 different time zones. It fell apart fast.

3 to 4 hours for a full game? It usually takes me that long just to make my own character.

D&D 5e is pretty fast, just ability scores, race, class, background, and good to go

I'd be interested. Only played two games of 5E. One as a Dwarven Battlemaster and another as a Kobold Cleric.

As a player of 5+ years and a DM of 2+ years let me warn you @op the toughest thing about it is not strangling your players

DM here. My PCs have been ignoring my hints and have been caught by a dragon, who has sent them on morally repulsive quests as an excuse 1/

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

for them to have a chance to get away. They have completed all the quests and are back for more. None of this is supposed to happen.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

That sounds amazing, have you been to r/DnDbehindthescreen ? They'd probably love your stories! :D

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

But strangling my players is my favorite part. Also if you're new to it, railroading them a bit can help reduce strangling tendencies.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Like in general you shouldnt railroad your players but with new players it can help them get moving and for new DMs to control things.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I let them do what they want now tbh and it's mostly randomized bullshit. @fullmetalbubble knows what's up

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ah, most games Ive been in or played there is a story and a certain time table so while there is some freedom there is a clear path.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I tried doing that for a while but my players are so out there and have such creative ways of thinking it's hard to. a lose story line
