Message: <blockquote data-quote="UsherBhai" data-source="post: 7566678">Hello everyone,,So, I have been wanting to play D&D for a while now and some coworkers at my new job said they're looking to start a new campaign and invited me! Only problem is I know basically nothing about D&D at all. Basically all of my knowledge is from listening to The Adventure Zone. I figured this would be a good place to start looking for info and get answers for a couple specific questions. I'll just list some below! Thanks in advance!<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What are some essentials that I should buy/apps I should download before getting started?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I sort of want to know more seasoned players' opinions on the most common/easily avoidable rookie mistakes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Is there a difference in dice sets or would getting any basic dice set work for a beginner?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In your opinion, what's the most important thing to keep in mind when starting for the first time ever?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Is there a good way to like (Mod Edit: Spam Links Removed ~Umbran) "practice" before actually getting into a long term campaign?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm using an online character builder to make my character that I am planning on using (making a tiefling rogue criminal) and a few of the phrases weren't explained in the creator (googling them actually led me to this subreddit!) and I couldn't quite figure out what they meant: Under background tools (which I'm pretty sure are the tools granted to me based on the background that I choose for my character) it says "thieves' tools duplicated in class and background" and I'm not sure what exactly that means because it gives me a dropdown list of options like alchemists' supplies, carpenter's tools, etc.</li> </ul>Again, thanks a million in advance!</blockquote>
