I go with simplicity. If you roll a natural 1 on a d20 for an attack, saving throw, skill check, or ability check, you gain disadvantage on your next d20 roll for an attack, saving throw, skill check, or ability check.

Here's part 2: Bag of Holding, Portable Hole, and an NPC tracker for DM's. https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/2017/05/19/inventory-sheets-part-2/

I do agree with hastur_nz with a "starter adventure". When I started teaching my kids to play, we started with The Keep on the Borderlands, but only did a couple of caves before finding that one of caves was the Whispering Cairn. Then the "rival adventuring party" from AoW cleared out the other...

I've run a group thru Age of Worms in 5e and we've liked it. We got away from it trying some other things, though, but plan to go back. Tormyr is right that chapter 1 is top notch. As good of a starting adventure that you could find anywhere. It converts pretty easily to 5e. Here's our last...

Here's a part 3 of a series of cleric domains. http://samwise7rpg.blogspot.com/2014/10/cleric-domains-for-5th-edition-dungeons_23.html

I use a narrative style, but more like if I was telling a friend at work about the game. I'm thinking of changing up my style, though. More of a summary. https://5egrognard.blogspot.com/search/label/play%20report

I often start groups at 3rd level. When I do, I just give them the starting equipment like you mentioned. If I start characters off at a higher level, I'll roll on the treasure tables in the DMG. Usually one level appropriate hoard to split among the party, and some individual treasure as well.

Now that I look around, I found this:

A bard in my group plays a battle axe guitar.

I use Google Docs as well. Easy to use. You can easily set up pages with different permissions. Make it so all players or a single player can either view or can edit pages. If you don't share the page, it's DM only. Easy to link within itself. No problem looking at on my laptop or my phone.

This reminds me of my 2e AD&D dwarf monk that wore spiked gauntlets and a ring of shocking grasp.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll dig further into Roll20, that seems to be the way to go. I've played with it a little bit before.

I've toyed with the idea of using damage as class, much like 13th Age. A dagger in the hands of a trained warrior is going to be much deadlier than one in the hands of a scholar.

My old desktop has finally died. Not that it was used much anymore, we've since switched to using Chromebooks. I do have a pretty nice monitor, that I want to continue to use at the table. So I'm looking for a Virtual Tabletop, to use at the physical tabletop. I could use either my...
