I recently started a D&D stream focused on allowing people new to D&D the chance to play! Every two weeks, we select a new group of players (who are all new to D&D!) to participate in the stream (sign up sheet below).
We continue with the same group from last week, but unfortunately one of the players was unable to make it. We continued on anyways!
Waking from their previous success, Raggnar had a new job for the party! He had received a tip that some hobgoblins under the command of Bad Fruul were headed towards a nearby swamp after some unspecified treasure.
Before setting off, our heroes set about town getting ready. After a quick stop in the potion shop, they purchased the last thing the elderly potion maker had in stock, a potion of fire breath. They also set about town recruiting some NPCs to help them out on their way!
Setting out into the swamp, our heroes come upon the hobgoblins, already dead. After a bit of investigation, they realize that whatever killed them had bludgeoned them to death from the water!
Shortly thereafter, the water rose up and begins bludgeoning the party!
During the fight, a mud mephit from the swamp perched himself on a tree and began watching.
After the battle was over, the mud mephit introduced himself as Feetor and began praising the party's heroics at defeating the "grabby water". Thoroughly impressed, he decides to follow along, much to Quaf's chagrin.
With Feetor's help (and a map they had found) our heroes find their way to Mama Manyknuckle's camp, which just so happens to be the target the hobgoblins were headed for.
Confronted the disgusting hag, she doesn't seem to happy to find them in her swamp.
After taking out Mama Manyknuckles and her boys (a group of half-ogres), the party realizes that the sinkhole they were camping in appears to actually be the top portion of a lost tower!
The party searches for a way to enter, but unfortunately cannot find a way in! Giving up, they decide to head back to town and report their findings.
Returning to town, our heroes report their success to Raggnar, and thus completes the saga of this particular group!
As usual, we will be back again next week on Friday at 7 PM CST live on twitch! Until then, you can catch the replays all on youtube! This week, we will be introducing a brand new group of adventurers!
While i'm at it, i would like to give a shout out to @PieceOfWhiskey and @DungeonsAndDownvotes, who both run excellent discord communities that are very newbie friendly! If you'd like to get into the game outside of waiting and hoping to get in on my games, hit these guys up and get into a private game!
Anyone who wants to can sign up to be in the next group rotation utilizing the list below!

One group i was in we had a guy play a bard and after every game he wrote it up as if his char was recording an epic tale.

Adventurer's League. I thought that plotline sounded familiar.

Tabletop Simulator is an amazing tool for playing with friends. I play with out of state friends every week.

You use Fantasy grounds! How do you make maps? I use CC3+
SkillCheckOfficial
I usually use hexographer/dungeonographer/cityographer. They're nice and simple. I tried the CC3+ demo before, too complicated for my tastes
Spudders
So are the characters premade, or do we make our own? restrictions, etc.

Why do people play this game? Seems like a boring game to me

Best thing about D&D is your not limited by a code on what you can or cannot do or interact with. Really improves problem solving skills

Imagination usually helps

You need to post this WHEN you start streaming dude if you want people to tune in, not randomly the next day.
SkillCheckOfficial
The stream is at the same time and place every week, and timing a post with the stream would be kinda awkward, since it takes random times
SkillCheckOfficial
to work its way through user sub. Though i suppose i could put a quick post out an hour or two before we start.

Looks complicated
garrnk
I thought it was too when i was playing but its rather easy and the dm can roll for you if you can't figure it out.
SkillCheckOfficial
Not really! the best part about D&D is you don't really need to "know the rules" to play!
receivedk0
Alright ill play and just say, "i win" sound fair?
Aussieausti
That is definitely how it works
SkillCheckOfficial
there is no "winning and losing" in D&D! It's a non-competitive game :)
