Hello =)
I have been thinking about starting D&D for quite some time and have finally made the plunge. However, I am still seeking a gaming group in/around Vienna for ADVENTURE!
I am 27 and working in pharmaceuticals - so I am usually only free on the weekends.

Hi Andy! Thanks for dropping by and welcome!
If you have a look around, youāll see that thereās a regular meetup at the Spielbar every Thursday if you can make it.
A couple of us are thinking about trying something with www.roll20.net which I think will take place at the weekend. So, if you donāt mind playing online that could also be a possibility.
Hi Neil!
I was wondering: Is D&D played on Thursdays at the Spielbar? I am definitely coming but I was worried that D&D wouldnāt be played. Also, how easy (or hard) is it for a level 1 character to join the more seasoned adventurerers?
Concerning both the online gaming and the meetups - I am in the middle of character creation and would need to known how accepted Tieflings or Drows are with the DMs around ^^
Will register and download Roll20 too, as it sounds quite promising.
Thank you for contacting me and letting me know!
Kind Regards,
Andy
I havenāt been to the Spielbar in a while so Iām a little hesitant to speak for the āregularsā there.
The āRPG Viennaā group is very laid back and fun. they typically play one-shots and the choice of system is rarely D&D but mainly interesting Indie type RPGs. However, if you specifically say youāre interested in a D&D 5e intro game someone may be willing to run one for you.
Make a post in one of the Spielbar threads to see if anyone would be interested in an intro game. Alternatively, just turn up and play (chances are it will be a different system though!) and donāt worry, a lot of people who play at the Spielbar are newcomers and in some cases havenāt even played RPGs before but everyone is very friendly and more than willing to show people the ropes.
Lastly, there tends to be more people at the Spielbar when the weather gets warmer. Weāre still in the middle of winter right now so attendance isnāt as high as it will be in a few months.
Simon mentioned that heās planning on running 5th edition, probably sometime in Februaury. I have a bit of D&D up my sleeve as well, albeit sans tieflings.

Time to rectify that, then!
Iād be interested in trying this Roll20 event. What time are you thinking of doing this? What would be the maximum limit of people to join? I can imagine with too many people it might get a bit unruly.
At some point Iād love to start a new D&D 5e group. I donāt have much experience with pen and paper, but iād love to try it like you. Shall we arrange something with a few others who are interested and see if @Simon can give us some insider tips?
Tips for D20 or D&D5?
And yes, I am planning on running a D&D game, the starter set, AFAIK, maybe next weekā¦

Let me know if you do. It would be great to get to know the D&D5e system. Iāll make it a priority to join!

Aw bugger. I already came up with one character (a Tiefling Warlock) and have a rough concept for another one (a Drow Rogue), but both are using the content only found in the PHB and not in the Starter set =(
Hey!
The starter set is just a smaller version of the PHB, so there shouldnāt be a problem 
With āstarter setā he mainly meant the campaign āLost Mine of Phandelverā that is included in the starter set. Itās pretty good 
Thatās no problem becauseā¦
Quite indeedly so.
I would bring the pre-gens too, for people to chose from but, as long as you have an official D&D5 character, 's all good, manā¦ (Iād prefer it to be generated on the array or point buy method, thoughā¦ Just so that I donāt have to raise my eyebrows sarcastically when I learn somebody rolled five 18s in a rowā¦
Yeah I didnāt really roll any die at all when I created my character(s). Also, I am in for the fun of the game and flaws make for better rpg material than advantages. Hence I tend to create somewhat flawed characters rather than OP ones, as it makes them much more interesting.
