Learn to Play D&D (5.5e) August 25th
Howdy everyone!
Have you always wanted to play D&D but didn't know anyone who could/would teach you or struggled to find a group for beginners? This is your chance to learn the fundamentals of D&D (and Role Playing Games in general). After the event is over you'll learn:
-"What is Session 0?"
-The basic materials you need to play
-How the character sheet
-How the Game flows
-How the Player/DM exchange works
-How to Level up a character.
There will be another follow up meetup within two weeks where we can take everything we went over into a quick one shot to see it in action.
You are only required to bring yourself, your imagination, and a willingness to learn.
This is part of a 100% free series of meetups I'll be running to teach people all of the games I enjoy playing.
This meetup with be on August 25th from 6pm to 8pm at Dice Age Games (in the private room).
Table space is limited (I believe 8 including myself) so please shoot me a private message if you intend to be there. If slots completely fill I'll keep anyone else on a waiting list for the next Learn to Play meetup.
Now, who am I?
My name is Josh (37m, He/Him) and I love sitting in the GM seat and bringing new people into all of the games I love to play. I'm very much a go with the flow, evolve the story with the players DM and live by the motto "You can't break 'my game' because it's our game." I've been running games for almost as long as I've been playing, having started with D&D 3.5 and Spycraft back in 2003 and have learned and ran many different systems since. My wife and I moved here from the east coast a little over a year ago and everywhere we've moved for work I've found groups of new people with no-one else to teach them. I run for all experience levels but more often than not form groups around entirely new, or recently new players who struggle to find a game. I always prefer to run custom campaign settings that I can grow and change around the choices made by the players.
My tables are always LGBTQ+ friendly and I do not tolerate any real world hateful ideologies of any kind at my tables. I am as much into the Role Play aspect as I am Combat so silly voices and the like are always encouraged during play but never required.
