JM 1,607 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Personally Thursday nights would be best for me, sort of 19:00-23:00 time. I would also suggest we use the D&D website below to create our characters ready for the event. https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters?utm_source=wizard&utm_medium=dndsite Luseth and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/10315-%F0%9F%8E%B2-dungeons-and-dragons-night-%F0%9F%90%89/#findComment-155304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,752 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Nice to see you getting this up and running @Lurchzy and yep, DnD Beyond is definitely the best site to use to set up characters. I take it you're doing 5e DnD? Are you using another site for visual representation of players or not going with that? What campaign are you doing? Who's DM? How many ppl are you expecting or hoping for? I'm in between sessions at the moment but I'll have to check if I can commit! If I think of anything else I'll be back 🙂 JM and GazzaGarratt 1 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/10315-%F0%9F%8E%B2-dungeons-and-dragons-night-%F0%9F%90%89/#findComment-155307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used a visual rep website but if you have any good ones you recommend I'm sure we could use that! Campaign to be decided by the DM, which I'm hoping can be someone that's DM'd before. I haven't myself so I'm hoping someone else can step up to the plate and decide some of those details. Otherwise I'm hoping we can get a small group together of dedicated regulars — don't particularly want to be chasing people every week.

Luseth 1,946 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I have never played DnD before but have always been interested. If you're happy to teach me as we go I would be up for this 🙂 Any chance we could do 8pm onwards instead? Just means there is no chance of my daughter being awake and disrupting things?

I'm sure most of us will be newcomers/ basic players to D&D so we can take it nice and easy to start with 👍 But if you are interested in getting a head start there are plenty of video on YouTube about starting D&D and D&D even have their own channel that cover some subjects.

GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I've been interested in this previously but I know its about committing the time and effort towards it so everyone enjoys this. Thursdays will be our training night for Yara's football team. Likely home by 8pm but you never know in a few months as it could be slightly later. I'm also looking to pick up Gran Turismo nights back up too. Does this work better weekly? Or any other regular timeslot? I'm open to other days too if we can make it work. Also, is there like a timespan you can make them over e.g. 6 week campaign? Knowing it also has some form of an end may help some people to commit a block of weeks or nights perhaps? I'm gonna struggle with roleplay! but its something i've found interesting when watching...maybe watching one happen at FG first may help push me over the line to do it. Thanks for giving this a go at drumming up some interest James! Love seeing multiple things going on here.

Thanks for giving this a go at drumming up some interest James! Love seeing multiple things going on here. I'm open to changing which night we play, just depends on when everyone is available. As for a timespan, I'd like to see us complete a campaign and then see where we can go from there. This would probably mean sticking to it for a good couple of weeks — enough time for everyone to get introduced and then have a good go at a quest. Nothing concrete as this would probably depend on the DMs plan for the campaign and how quickly people get used to how things work. Plus I wouldn't want to put too much pressure on people being able to jump straight into it. Some good house rules for something like this would be to give the DM permission to exclude the people from the quest (through death or other RP mean) if they don't turn up. Pre-notice can obviously help the DM in this regard. Good amount of breaks through the night can help too. Obviously we're all friends so everything can be pretty lenient but we can't be taking the mickey, and I don't want to be chasing people like I do for MNF.

That's understandable, I think it'd be a good experiment to see how we get on anyway if it was just a one night thing. Can also keep our characters if we want to do another night at some point?

phil bottle 9,752 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 @Middle Class Caveman is a very decent DM, or was so in the little Cthulhu game we had. He had to cope with the cosmic madness also known as @Diddums I'll be up for a game but until autumn I'm busy a lot of evenings so not sure about anything more than that. I've played DnD, Warhammer, Call of Cthulhu and Paranoia mostly but I've never DMd personally and having a good DM is very important imo Middle Class Caveman, JM and GazzaGarratt 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/10315-%F0%9F%8E%B2-dungeons-and-dragons-night-%F0%9F%90%89/#findComment-155374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
