Hi,
I’m Katherine, and when I started playing D&D I was very overwhelmed - by building my character, showing up to a space I didn’t know, alone. I have always been interested in playing D&D, but never had someone to try with.
I found about RPG Vienna through a friend in 2015, signed up to the forum in 2019, but was too intimidated to actually play until 2023.
Having played with RPG Vienna for 2 years and having DMed for about a year now, I feel a lot more comfortable and am hoping to make starting to play easier on new people who may want to join by running some D&D games specifically for new players.
HOW will these sessions work?
- We will potentially start earlier than usual VALUE games, around 6.30, depending on the possibility to do that at a location
- spend about an hour creating level 1 characters (Players Handbook 2014 based) on paper together
- then start playing an easy introductory one-shot adventure, finishing around 10.45
- after the adventure, we will level up to level 2 together.
Of course you can ask any questions you may have at any time. I am by no means an expert on things, just someone who wants to help get you started.
We will play if we get at least 2 people, and we will have no more than 4 players.
If you are interested in this, just post below. Also make sure your notifications settings at least for this one post are turned on so you can get updates.
What you will need for these sessions:
- A pencil and eraser or erasable pen
- Dice, if you have them (you can borrow, no need to spend money)
- Any snacks you might want (you can get water at the location, and there is a small selection of drinks you can buy, but it’s not mandatory).
- A flexible schedule. We will aim to be done with the game by 10.45pm, +/- 30 minutes. If you want to stay for the level up, it will take another 15-30 minutes.
- Note that one location has a 4 EUR entrance fee to be paid in cash into the box on the kitchen counter
WHEN is this happening?
I am planning on doing a session like this every 6 to 8 weeks, but if there is more demand, or another DM who joins, it could be more frequently. It will take place as part of the usual VALUE game nights on Fridays, so you can get a feel for the crowd.
WHERE is this happening?
I can bounce around between Wowkeepers and Requisite. Seeing as Wowkeepers is free for first-timers, that may be the way to go. Those two locations are our usual Friday Night locations.
HOW do I join?
I will announce dates in this thread, as well as the corresponding VALUE thread. If you are interested in joining, you can also just post in here and we can see if we can make something happen. Just post here if you’re interested and make sure to have notifications turned on at least for this thread so you can find out if something is changing or happening.
This is an offer, not a requirement, for new players. You can absolutely and are 100% welcome to show up to any game with VALUE in the title and play a game. We are used to having new players around regularly.
i’ve never played DnD but watched a ton of videos and played Baldurs Gate 3 which made me really interested in it ^^
let me know if there’s any questions before then.
This is the discord (for general stuff and community , but anything relating to this game is here on the forum)
