want to create a dnd character but have no clue where to start?
it can be difficult to navigate dungeons and dragons. there is so much that it can become intimidating. i know. i only figured it out after a friend sat me down and explained it over a few too many cups of coffee. the best way i was able to submerge myself into the worlds and how it all works, without having to find a group to play with, was building a character. i needed a character before i could even think of playing, right? (technically wrong, but we can get into that later).
what i'm into, reading, watching, etc.
- reading: bookshops & bonedust by travis baldree
- watching: sopranos
- listening: malevolent
- drawing: character from a friends book
i am currently elbow deep in creating a one-shot for five friends.
my partner is in a band who have all decided they want to give DND a go. they didnt want to commit to a whole campaign without playing first. so it is now on me to create a one-shot to creative and exciting that they want to commit to months, maybe years, of having me as a dungeon master.
i have decided to make the one-shot full of humour and a lot less serious than i would normally. i have taken inspiration from The Wild Sheep Chase as i loved playing this one and it is easy to scale down and adjust to players wants/needs! it was originally created for 4th & 5th level players, but i have it scaled to 1st level players. i have taken the concept and created something i believe my players will prefer. tavern instead of walking down a road, dwarf instead of half-orc, kobold instead of human. i want them to get a well-rounded one-shot while also keeping their attention as much as possible.
