Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition One Shot - Shadow Administrator Drei - 03-19-2019
Hey y'all, KL stated interest in doing a DnD group. Now, due to the nature of the game, it really won't work as a text RP, so we'll use the MFGG Discord to talk and hopefully we'll have our own voice channel granted with roles for the players.
Now, if you aren't sure what Dungeons and Dragons it is, it is a "pen and paper" tabletop role-playing game where there are a set of players that set out on an adventure! One is the Dungeon Master - me in this case - who guides the other players through the adventure by making sure rules are followed and fabricates the world in response to what the other players do. If they decide to go down the left side of a split path, it is up the the DM to determine what is down there and if anything happens to them along the way. The DM also handles NPCs and enemies. The players have a ton of freedom to freely act and impact the world with guidelines of what they are laid out as classes. These classes can be freely reflavoured to match a concept the player may want for their character they are playing as.
A one shot is a one-off adventure that resolves itself in the singular session. If people are interested and enjoy the one-shot, we can either continue the story or begin a whole new adventure - likely from one the official adventure books.
If you're interested in the one shot, then feel free to join the Roll20, which is where the actual gameplay will take place:

If you are new to DnD, no problem! I have been playing 3.5e and 5e for over a decade and I can help you out! Just ask! You don't even need to buy anything to get started, as the basic rules are available here:
http://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/DnD_BasicRules_2018.pdf
There is also a resource guide at 5etools.com and my only limitation is that if it is Unearthed Arcana content that you run it by me before using it. It is also laid out much more complexly, so if you need help, again, just ask me. Level 3 will be our starting level.
Please state what's a good day you can play, and the time frame there in, and we'll arrange to have the most people playing on a day and set the exact date soon.

Fifth edition hasn't been out for a decade. 3.5 has though.

Gengar, please avoid bumping old topics just to point out trivial things in the OP that have little to do with the thread's purpose.

Damn. And I got so excited reading the threads initial post too...
RE: Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition One Shot - Shadow Administrator Drei - 07-13-2019
I'd still be down to do a oneshot, by the by.

Since I've been playing D&D for a long time now, I know that these lovely little things help me get into the mood and visualize the game. Many wizards prefer to play dialogues and other social moments without scenery because it saves time and money. Battles, however, where it's essential to represent the balance of power, are another matter. Battles in D&D are like any other turn-based strategy: players, like monsters, have many different abilities, and here you need to consider distance, position, and landscape. To do this, you need to use https://dndguide.net/.
