Everyday nerd in geeky armor

just a guy posting stuff and having a blast. I live in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. 41 years young. I enjoy a lot of different things, most of which you can see on my blog. I will update this more and more in the coming days.

Our heroes seem to be in a underwater predicament. Good thing they casted underwater breathing. @skinnyminis_rpg @dungeoninabox @yarrostudios (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cctzh9ppL5c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The morning alarm goes off, you open your eyes and remember it’s a workday…

D&D 5E spells in TLoVM episodes 1-3. This probably isn't all of them and I took some liberties with the exact descriptions, but here you go.

Hey guys! I still have a few of my Inktober original pieces from last year! They’re all 8x10, painted with coffee and matted at 11x14"!  And for the month of October, they’re 10% off!

Etsy is a great way to help support me this season since my main source of income (conventions) were cancelled this year!

A while ago, some people asked me to explain D&D and other RPGs… so of course I had to make it into an infographic!

This is by no means a comprehensive guide. The game can be as simple or complex as you want, but there ARE some pre-established basics you should know about - and those are best discovered on your own terms!

Some resources to help you get started: 

Watch/listen:

★ Rusty Quill Gaming Podcast - a ttrpg game in the Pathfinder system. Beginner friendly! Learn how to play along with the players!

★ Critical Role - a D&D game played by voice actors - Incredibly famous! Highly praised! Both videos and podcasts available.

★ The Adventure Zone - a TTRPG podcast by the MdElroy brothers

Read/learn the rules:

📚 D&D 5e Player’s Handbook - pdf

📚 Basic Introduction to Character Races - website

📚 Overview of Character Classes - website

How-to and Tutorials:

🎲 Rolling a character - YouTube video

🎲 How combat works - YouTube video

🎲 Being a good player - YouTube video

And last but not least…

How To Play D&D Online! - YouTube Video

***

Of course, there are tons of other resources - endless writeups, dozens of YouTube videos and blogposts, and entire subreddits dedicated to this information. The important thing is to take things one at a time. Or not - just dive right in! Most seasoned D&D players are thrilled when others want to join them on their adventures and will be happy to help a new player find their tabletop legs.

Merry Christmas.

This is why I don't tell people anything anymore.
