That's the point of all this!!! So, we need just one more and I'll set up the game,

 

[Girouette]

So...Question, in dungeon world there was a whole host of custom classes from what I saw, although my group didn't get any farther than character creation, does DnD have custom classes and stuff like that?

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

There's twelve classes in D&D: Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Warlock, and Wizard.


There's also 9 races, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Human, Dragonborn, Gnome, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, and Tiefling.


However, I'm running this game under the assumption that everyone is going to be playing out of the free rules I linked in the first post, which only contains the rules for 4 classes: Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, and Wizard. It also only contains 4 races, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, and Human


If you go out and buy a copy of the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Player's Handbook, you can play one of the other 8, or choose different character options within the first 4, plus different races, but this is NOT a requirement for my novice game. It'd be silly to expect everyone to go out and buy something just to learn a new thing

 

[Lady Bee]

ok


 
whats a halfling?

 

[Girouette]

I've got a copy of it...So...

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

[QUOTE="Raven Slender]whats a halfling?

[/QUOTE]
Halflings are sorta like hobbits from Lord of the Rings.They're about 3 feet tall, tend to be fairly cheerful and curious, and despite having tightly knit families and communities, often venture out to explore the world due to their curiosity.

I've got a copy of it...So...

Of the full rulebook or the free one?

 

[Lady Bee]

oh ok

 

[Girouette]

Er...I've got 5e players handbook, which looks to have everything...

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

Awesome! So, you'll have more options, but, otherwise, I'm keeping things simple for everyone

 

[Penacoladis]

Never played D&D [Never had friends into that], I would like to learn.

 

[Lady Bee]

yay! we can start now

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

Alrighty, everyone, here's the thread for the RP:

Rules will be up shortly

 

[Tzun]

I would be very interested in learning 5e. Need some more novices?

 

[Lady Bee]

??? can there b more people that what we have?

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

I would be very interested in learning 5e. Need some more novices?

My apologies, we're at 5 now, any more and it'll get a little crowded to teach. Don't fret though, other folks occasionally run tutorial stuff as well, and if this campaign is successful, I may do one again someday in the future.

 

[Tzun]

A shame. Sorry!

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

A shame. Sorry!

If a slot opens up, I'll prod you

 

[Tzun]

Wonderful. Thank you.

 

[Dementia]

I might like to try.

 

[Calliope37]

Hi! I have no idea how to play DND and would like to learn! I guess that is what this is for?

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

My apologies, the game is currently full, but I'll keep everyone here posted if there's more slots


 
I'm willing to chat with folks and help them with some basics though if they want. Just toss me a message
