Free Learn-to-Play D&D Workshop

Free Learn-to-Play D&D Workshop

Sat, Jun 13, 4:00 PM
From NYC Dice Goblins - Dungeons and Dragons 5E for Beginners+
4.9

How do I create a character? What are the rules of combat, and how does exploration and role-play work? What do I need to bring when I show up to a table? What is the role of the DM vs. the role of the player? How do Ability Scores work? What ARE Ability Scores? For that matter, what is D&D?? If you've been asking yourself any of these questions, then sign up for our Intro to D&D Newbie Workshop, where our team of experienced GMs (game masters) will walk you through the rules of the 5.5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons. We first run your table through a short game with pregenerated characters to get the hang of things, and then pivot to character creation so you get fully equipped to play D&D! The workshop location alternates each month between the Seward Park branch of the New York Public Library and various branches of the Brooklyn Public Library. Our workshops are almost always scheduled on the second Saturday of the month, so if you can't make it this time you can always come to the next one! We also suggest bringing a device that can connect to WiFi so that you can make a free character using the website D&D Beyond: [https://www.dndbeyond.com/](https://www.dndbeyond.com/) D&D Beyond auto-populates a lot of character information and is quicker to use than pen-and-paper, especially for beginner adventurers. **What to bring:** * a set of polyhedral D&D dice (we will have extras if needed) * a pencil and eraser * a character sheet (printed) or a way to access [dndbeyond.com ](dndbeyond.com)(laptop, phone + charger, etc.) **THIS IS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC** We also run a Discord server to organize in-person D&D games in New York City - this is where you can go to find games to join once you've learned how to play: [https://discord.gg/x5mPb452xr](https://discord.gg/x5mPb452xr)
