[Online] [Roll20] [5e] [Free] Open to running an online one shot for first time D&D players

Never played D&D? Never tried Roll20? I can scratch both your itches in one shot (literally!).

Long story short, somebody posted “looking for a GM for a group of 5 friends,” only two of which had played D&D before. They wanted someone to show their friends the ropes.

So, I responded: “ok, we’ll give it a try.”

Needless to say, I got in contact with the head dude, he got some of his friends on board, invited me to a Discord channel, and I set everything up for a single 2-4 hour session for all of them at once; all they had to was roll up characters.

In true Gen=Z fashion, everyone simply stopped responding en masse. That’s when I asked “why isn’t anyone rolling up a character?” Crickets. Even the head dude will not respond to DMs. Gen-Z, I tell you…

As a result, I have a template for a brand new D&D game designed for newbies that is ready for players.

This is where YOU come in! Never played D&D? Want to spend a couple hours rolling up a character, chatting in a bar to find a quest, and potentially die while battling supernatural forces?

If so, shoot me a DM or reply below. I will respond to everyone, even if we don't end up playing. If you have friends who wish to join you (us), invite them. Connecting on Discord is likely the nest way forward. I (we) will pick a group of 4-5 players to play from the "applicant adventurers." I will send you a link to a Roll20 game that is already set up and you can choose a blank character sheet and roll up your character using the charactermancer (options limited by the books I own on Roll20). Don't like it? Want to change something? Roll up another.

There is a step-through guide in the game, and a 5E CHEAT SHEET so you can quickly overview the rules and the flow of things. Roll up at level 1, then level up to level 3. We pick a date and time (generally Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday work the best, I’m thinking 8-10pm EST), and we play. That’s it.

Ask questions if you like, but this is as straight-forward as it gets. This should work to teach everyone involved the basics of the 5E game and dynamics, and provide an introduction to D&D and Roll20. It is unlikely this group will play a second session (with me), so feel free to print out your sheet or copy it somehow if you want to have the character in the future.

We will use the Roll20 voice and tabletop for the game. If Roll20 rebels, we can use Discord for voice.

No idiots, people who don’t follow through on their word, bigots, racists, or intolerant fucktards, kindly.

Thanks in advance. Let's have some fun playing D&D!
