Whether you're already experienced or if you're entirely new to the tabletop RPG Dungeons and Dragons, I've been trying to put together a group, and I'd like to extend the opportunity to people here before I go searching for much more random people on the interweb to host it for. We will be playing the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons following the pre-created adventure Lost Mines of Phandelver. If you're brand new to either Dungeons and Dragons or just 5th Edition, I will be more than happy to teach you the rules! I'll be glad to teach you even if you don't intend to join the game.
Most people know what D&D is, but for those who don't really get the concept of a tabletop RPG, just thinking of it like a video game with near limitless possibilities based on how your character chooses to act, played mostly using your imagination, the guidance of the Dungeon Master (or DM), and usually there's a board to give you a frame of reference. You play the role of your character, deciding how they overcome obstacles, what moves they make in fights, and how they interact with others. While there is certainly a good amount of combat, with some of it being mandatory to solve problems in a fantasy world such as this, there are many other ways of going about scenarios based on how you and the other players decide to go about things.
Roleplaying might not be your thing, but there's still fun, jokes, and stories to be had and shared when you play. Plus, you never know, you just might like it. Plenty of people of all ages, from 3 to 80+, have played and enjoyed D&D and other such roleplaying games.
As for the specifics about my hosting of the game, I don't have a time set in stone right now. I'm hoping to host the games on Sunday nights every week (every other week if it works better for players) over a site called Roll20 (which is really easy to use for players, just a pain for DMs in my opinion). The other option is to play over Skype, but that would require either myself to make all the rolls for players, or for me to just trust nobody lies about the result of their rolls.
Please post a comment, PM me, or message me on skype at supreme slayer if you are interested! I need at least 2 players with a maximum of 4, as I have one friend interested and another who's currently unsure.
