[QUOTE="mips42, post: 7455812, member: 6746242"] Well, here goes. This is a shortish adventure for 4-6 level one or level two characters. Feel free to try out new concepts or ideas. PHB and Xanathars are go, Unearthed Arcana or other sources, please ask. All apologies to every DM Ive stolen Ideas from for this (too many to name). [sblock=DMs Musings] Ive always believed that Narrative fiction / RPGs in general and D&D in particular are supposed to be fun. If Ask the DM is Rule 0, have fun is rule 0.5. [sblock=stuff i feel I shouldn't have to say, but will anyway] [LIST] [*] Have fun... Until your fun hinders someone elses ability to have fun. [*] Play your character... until doing so hinders another persons ability to play theirs or have fun. [*] Play nice with other peoples characters: if you would not like it done to you or your character, dont do it to them or theirs. [*] Play fair: dont fudge the fail. Sometimes the failures are what define your character. [/LIST] [/sblock] General rules: [LIST] [*] Your character is awesome, Let them [B]be[/B] awesome. Even at "lowly level 1", your character is head and shoulders above the general populace. A level 1 cleric, for example, can perform what we would consider miracles. What sounds better: "I move 30 feet and hit that guy with my sword, I rolled a 14." or "Hey, I want to run over, use that table as a springboard, run along the wall, spring off the wall, do a flip, THEN strike that guy!" That's awesome. [*] Be Descriptive: I will do my best to describe the sights, sound, smells, tastes and textures of the world around you.

[/LIST] Dice and Dice rolls: If you want to use real dice, Great. Do it. just be honest with your rolls. If you prefer to use a online roller, great. Do that. In general, roll what you think you need to roll in order to do the thing you want to do. If I need or want something you didn;t include, I'll let you know either by post or PM.
