Yaaay the worst is the best

hi!

i'd like to play

OMG YAY SKITTER!!!

hi hi hi

i am going to need some hand-holding because my dnd experience doesn't exactly exist

but this setting looks really cool and i've been wanting to try playing dnd for a while but none of my irl friends are into this sort of thing

You and I are in the same position then!

This'll be fun.

Big edit to the OP incoming later today - I will quote it to draw attention when it goes live. It will be the teaser on Voivodja and a quick “Getting Started” guide. I imagine the OP as it stands is quite intimidating.

Phase 1 of the OP update is complete!

- Un-spoilered teaser
- Reorganized spoilers
- Added map (check the last "VOIVODJA" spoiler - Zak's maps are incredible)
- Removed mention of "Zak Hacks"
- "Getting Started" guide still a WIP

Please let me know what else you need and what you'd like to see more of moving forward! Thanks!

EDIT: I originally quoted it as promised, but it's very large. Just check out post 0!
EDIT2: For those curious, I pronounce it Voi-vōd-uh or Voi-vōd-ah. (Long "O", as in "vote" & silent "J")

I have been notified that DNDBeyond is not very convenient for making characters, since many options are locked behind a paywall. I'm looking for an alternative, and may have to PM it to avoid legal trouble. A lot of online sources for quick-and-easy character sheet creation have been hunted down by Wizards of the Coast for copyright infringement, so the best ones are now locked out of most of the content too. PLEASE post if you're still interested in playing, so I know who to PM with the information that will help you all move forward in this crucial stage - I promise, making the character is literally the hardest part of playing D&D when you're first starting out. Please just be patient with me and the material, or do some research on your own, and as soon as we jump in it's basically just rolling d20s and telling a story.

This is what i used to make my character sheet, and its editable. just get Adobe PDF reader (free), then use that to edit the sheet, then what i did was to upload it to googledrive and shared it with The Pale King. nice thing about google drive is that if i make changes to my sheet and reupload, it'll iterate versions so that the share link is the same and i wont need to keep re-sending the link to TPK. (is that name intentional?....)

Adobe Acrobat (the free edition) may also work. If you don't have a Player's Handbook, the general race, class, etc. information is all available online - check the "5th Edition" link in the OP under the getting started spoiler or just Google "Roll20 compendium".

/ego in case I want to play later.

(Actually, I don't use egosearch, but this is just me stating that I may be interested in playing in the future, but not right now for schedule/transitioning reasons.)

So what characters are the worst and skitter running? The worst mentioned a rogue?

Im doing a melee focused warlock

i'm running a rogue for sure--rolling it now. I'll get back to you guys shortly.

Thanks! I was going to set a hard deadline for people to get involved in the first session, but it looks like I won't have to.

The Pale King, I might hit you up in sitechat if you'll be around the place a little?

I am around now! Please do so.

hi i am working on this!

i think i'm going to be a bard

Hi, if you'd be okay with someone who's never played before, playing and give me like 48 hours or so to do the work rather than doing it right at this moment, then I'd love to play!

You have plenty of time (though not an unlimited amount), and we have several newer players. It will be slightly different than playing from 1st Level, but I will do my best. Please read through as much of the OP as you wish, and get back to me with any questions you may have about the land of Voivodja or what you want your character to be like.

If you’ve never touched a character sheet before, I recommend DnDBeyond.com and OrcPub2. Both are basic sources of online character generators, but OrcPub even breaks the character generation process into a series of roleplay questions, which will be very helpful to a new player. Don’t worry if the final product looks intimidating; I will help everyone understand everything they need to know about their character and their sheet if they need the help.

5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons uses a system mostly based off of rolling a 20-sided die to make “checks” in many different situations. The raw roll is augmented or hindered by a number of factors, including magic, the environment, things your character is good at (called “proficiencies”), or the strength of any enemies involved. It’s simple to use once you get into it, and play can go by quickly or it can be methodical - or somewhere in between. We will all be learning something, and we will help eachother as we go.

MASTINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU'LL BE GREAT!!!
