      I’m so glad that your first ever campaign went great. You’re so right that a good group, with matching schedules, is hard to find. That’s one thing that hasn’t changed since I first started playing, in 1977. If your DM decides he needs more time to flesh out his homebrew, and your group wants to keep going, there are actually published modules that carry the story from Lost Mine further. Look into it. May the dice smile upon all of your endeavors. 🤠👍💕

      @@pavelZhd well ACKSHUALLY, 1 CR is around enough for a party of 4 party members, so, CR multiplied by 4 is the actual level.
      So, technically, a 1/4 CR goblin is level 1, since level =/= CR, or else a level 6 barbarian is strong enough to kill a level 6, four member party.

      I'm hoping to use my own paladin character sometime when I do finally play D&D!
      Okay, So: Phyria (pronounced "Peer-ria, like Phyricc Victory or Pie-ria if you prefer) is an orphan who was taken in by the Church of the Holy Light. (Or whatever Paladin order you can think of) pretty basic, her parents were killed/murdered and she was raised by the head priest and she was ordained with all the other acolytes. But she was different. Although she was pious and respected the teachings and worshipped their god, she always wanted more. She was always altruistic, studious, thoughtful and quiet. But fiercely protective of her brothers and sisters. Like that time the temple was attacked by wolves. Even though she was young, she showed promise and was placed into the elite ranks of the Paladins. She excelled at martial skill and the Holy Light, until finally it was time. Time for her to leave and protect the weak from evil. And that's all I've got so far. But I'd like to play with the Paladin tropes and make her have a good sense of humour too. Laid back, not stuffy and religious all the time. World wise and intelligent. Hoping to utilise her soon!

      My character is a teenage Orc named Ragor Leafborn, who was born as the world's first and ONLY Orc capable of using magic. Because of that, he was ostracised by his own people, even his parents, and got banished from the Orc village for being *Non-Orc like.*
      Thankfully, he was saved and raised by a kind and powerful wizard, who taught him everything he knows about magic. Now, Ragor is the world's first Orc wizard and hopes to aspire future Orcs to make different lives too.

    I started DND recently at my school and everyone has helped me out as a beginner. My character’s a faun I named Dion who’s class is sorcerer
    Edit: here’s my whole character cause no one asked :)
    Name: Dion (her real name is Diana, but she changed it cause it’s lame to her and reminds her of her old community)
    Class: sorcerer
    Race: halfling (light foot, faun)
    Background: criminal
    Alignment: Chaotic Nue.
    Appearance: She has dark brown hair with gold horns and hooves. Her skin is tan. Her fur legs and tail are black with a yellow tip at the end of the tail. She has two piercings on her ear and a tag like necklace. She has the top half of a toga as a shirt and she doesn’t wear pants lol. She has a staff too. She’s 16, has red eyes, is 5ft and weighs 115.
    Background: She was born into a faun group that lives in the forest. She was kicked out and banished from her community due to committing crimes like stealing and straying away from some of their ideology. She believed that freedom is necessary and that reaching out to others is a good thing. So she was pretty much a loner for a while. Due to her loneliness and lack of social interaction, she kinda lost some people skills and became anxious about other people. Until she found someone to help her out of her shell a bit, another criminal. They hung out at taverns and had fun stealing a few things. They eventually split, but she’ll never forget that criminal. She’s a very touchy person and loves forming friendships and being the mom friend. Safety is one of her ideals along with protecting others. As long as she gets something in return too.
    The end. :)

The adventurer left and the dragon was actually floored to have a child and named him after her most favorite thing valuable treasures, or val for short. Now val is older and tired of the same cave and his mother throwing him at high heights in an attempt for him to fly and sets out to call his dad a chad then collect his mothers deserved child support. Also theres a side plot where he has a prince in love with him but thats not really important.

      It would also depend on what Color your characters mother was. I’m not sure if and gold would see the reason to have a child like that if anything if she was a red dragon maybe she’s trying to build an army of loyal servants .

      Yeah, the people at a table can make or break a game. Sometimes you’ll come across a problem player or a group who are nice on their own, but all have issues with people at the table. Sometimes you’ll come across a garbage group, it’s just the way things go sometimes.
      That being said, although it’s all well and good to make sure that some people in longer campaigns or home games won’t argue or ruin the game, don’t hesitate to participate in Adventures League or Events. There’s a lot of good people there, and even if you come across a few bad eggs, there’s moderators and organizers, and you could always switch groups. Additionally, since you’ll likely be playin one-shots there a few times, even if you have a bad group it’ll typically only be one rough time. Additionally, you could meet new people and make new friends.
      I really hope that you don’t let that ruin a potential hobby-D&D is too fun to be lost because of a botched introduction to the game. 🙂

      @@no0t2 DMing is hard depending on how many people there are and how much prep you do. If you do zero prep and have 3-4 people, the game can be incredibly easy to run as you don’t have to prep, you don’t have to handle every player, and a lot of it can go by pretty easy. It can be hard if you do too much prep or have over 6 players, though.

DnD is our family game night, especially since we have all mostly moved out of the house. We are currently playing a modern setting my dad has written that includes going to different realms, space pirates, family drama for a couple of the characters, and this groups becoming the next generation of heroes to protect their own realm. I love this campaign so much!!

    I've been playing D&D for years, but only really play it now since my group has a preference for it. I've picked up a lot of systems over the past few years and really found I'm more about Powered By The Apocalypse TTRPGs like Masks or Avatar Legends. Those systems are more about Story telling, narrative, and character growth (my type of thing) rather than number crunching (more what D&D is all about). I would recommend checking them out if you like world building and characters but don't want to get bogged down by mechanics (also it's a lot easier to DM... A LOT easier...)

    Once you get comfortable enough with TTRPGs in general, I highly recommend giving Pathfinder 2e a shot. The sheer amount of character customisation is outright insane, especially if your GM implements Free Archetype rule
    Maybe you wanted to play a barbarian who can grow in size and spew fire? Or a drunken fist monk who brews "mutagenic" beer? Strategist fighter/trapper hybrid? A wizard who can give their spells an extra oomph via sheer hatred? A simple thief with his loyal cat? A walking pet shop ranger? Pathfinder 2e has it all and much more

    Most of my characters have no names but like, stories fleshed out and designs and everything.
    No names tho. Only one has a name so far and he's a Minotaur Barbarian that multiclasses in Warlock because some shady shit happened to his ring that got passed down from generations. His name is Faris Steelhorn. Idk it's still a wip.
    I also have this character that uh, idk if it's quite uP tO CodE fOr DnD but he's a Giggledog Monk! He doesn't speak a whole lot of English, so he struggles very hard to speak and remember words. (Which is amazing for me, even if I'm a native English speaker, I am very shitty at remembering words.)
    His back story is that his Wawa, (An aunt or uncle figure), taught him to fight, and was entirely willing to do anything to train him. His family is a little tight on money, but they spoil him quite a lot, so he doesn't suffer too much. He mostly just loved the thought of learning to be strong every since he was young.
    Then there's the fuckin Kenku. He just travels the land and does what he can to get money. He's rather tall for a Kenku, and humanoid and scrawny. He lives in a horse drawn carriage with, well, a horse and his dog! Very small dog. His goal is to just travel around, making a name for himself.
    Then there's a grey, freckled and young Half-Orc that comes from human parents. He has 3 brothers and 2 sisters, all human as well. He is covered in a bunch of little scars and scratches, as well as his siblings, since all the kids were such close ages they often just wrestled and climbed trees near the house. He is just very wholesome and curious, always wondering what's beyond his village's borders. I'm thinking of naming him Sun or something but idk.
