Play test report
So we are going to try a very quick short campaign. We are meeting twice this week and once next week.
Players: myself (been playing since 91) my niece (played 1 4e campaign and 5-6 times as small adventures in 5e over last 6 years) my nieces friend (never played only learned of D&D this year through stranger things and found out niece knew how to play). An old friend who is regular of my and the DMs games who was playing almost from the beginning (he was in college and a friend had photo copied pamphlets of basic D&D some time is 1300s, but since covid had us go virtual he has not regularly played)
DM: My best friend Becky. She has been with me on this journey since 91 when I took my new book outside to show her we could play a game and be like Conan
Session 0 is virtual then we will be playing in person at my sister and brother in laws house twice this week and hopefully once next week.
The DM is modifying an old world that is based loosely on a mix of dragon lance and Star Wars with a tiny bit of Avatar the last air bender thrown in. And we are doing something I have not done in years.. 1st level.
My intent is to make a half elf (useing drow stats) monk. As long as she hasn’t modified the back story of her world the DM had a group of martial artists who use tech including mystic guns and whip (metal cords) who protect the “capital” city of her world (based on the avatar city Kora starts in). If she allows that I am going to be a member of the guard. I also plan on building my own background allowing if (if she lets me) taking a dragon lance feat for my background from the dragon lance UA so I have martial maneuvers.
Today is session 0 in a few hours I expect most of it will be helping the two young girls who don’t know the system make characters but also getting the theme and base info in game world
I will let you know (tell me if anyone has something they really think we should try to test for) how it goes I hope to test the new grapple rules and the half race rules especially
Edit: dm just sent out the primer and the monk group is still in as town guard. So my idea will most likely pass
