Dungeons and Dragons One-Shots @ Dice Dojo (Edgewater)
Details
PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION FULLY!!
Looking for an in-person D&D experience? Search no further, as we'll be holding a variety of adventures at Dice Dojo!
Character Creation (the hardest part!!)
- It's recommended for new players to try out the DNDBeyond (IOS/Android) app for a streamlined character creation (especially if you're not familiar with D&D 5e/5.5e's rules)!
- I'm sharing DNDBeyond Group URLs with Content Sharing turned on below & in the comment section of this Meetup event for attendees.
- Once you click any link after having the DNDBeyond app installed, you should be able to create your character with guidance from the app.
- Important but often overlooked, players may spend excess gold from character creation on additional Weapons (minus Pistols or Muskets unless DM-permitted), Armor, Artisans Tools, & Adventuring Gear.
- If any new players experience difficulty in creating their character (or wish to do so at a later time), we also plan to dedicate the first 30 minutes of this event towards setup & assistance.
- Also, just because this is an anime meetup, don't feel like you need to make your characters anime-themed. 😂
Character Creation (DNDBeyond Links)
(These links don't set you to a specific game, I just need to make multiple because each has a 12-person limit)
Character Creation (About DNDBeyond)
Note that you'll initially be limited in your Species / Background / Subclass / Feat / Magic choices if you haven't bought materials from the DNDBeyond app before (which cost $$$).
- After you have joined this campaign URL however, you'll gain access to all game features from most of the essential rulebooks when creating/editing your character.
RSVPing
FYI: This event will be created with 20 RSVP slots.
We ask that folks who know they can't make it ahead of time to cancel their RSVPs so that others capable can attend.
- Our group is not normally strict on RSVPing, but we want to ensure that no-shows avoid taking up limited space.
- The # of RSVP spaces open are tied to both the feasibility of completing one-shots in a timely manner & the table space we've been granted by Dice Dojo.
DMing
Additionally, if you have any interest or experience in DMing, feel free to reach out to us by filling-out this THIS Google Form.
- We also have our Discord & WhatsApp to introduce yourself.
- Please apply if interested, as more DMs means more RSVP slots (up to 4 DMs for this event).
