Tell me about it πππ
The truth, it hurts!
Thatβs awesome! My friend group tried out DND in a similar way, none of us had ever played before so one stepped up to DM. Iβve become a DM myself since then, almost begrudgingly at first but Iβve really come to enjoy it. But if I may ask, what got you to set up a DND community before playing yourself? Were you inspired by communities on other sites, or by following campaigns (Critical Role et. al)?
I have been immersed in the D&D community for over a decade of my life. I've owned most of the books of the last 10 years, and I have listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts, consumed every comic there is to consume, ready days of articles, etc.
But my friend group has always been either uncoordinated, in different parts of the world, or just different places in life that things have never lined up for us to actually play the game. FINALLY things have lined up just right and I am DMing not one but TWO groups!
Have your played any other systems? Back in high school I played Rifts with that group, more recently we are taking a D&D break and playing a game using the Fate system. Not trying to derail anyone from D&D, just curious.
Nope, not a single ttrpg. Plenty of board games, video games etc but never a ttrpg
How many dice sets do you have now, and how many will you have next month? Lol
I already had.....15 or so? Lmao
WHAT!? You've been a shiny rock goblin but had never played DND?
Well, welcome lol
Welcome behind the DM screen!!
Itβs such a rewarding hobby!
eyy nice, enjoy settin up the goblins for the little wizard guys to smack, I know I do
AWESOME! Keep it up. I ended up doing a quick 2 session DM fill in for my crew while our main DM was on vacation. 2 years later and we have yet to finish my homebrew campaign that came from it.
Nice!
