[Other Fandoms] Ye Olde D20 Tavern: PokeCommunity's Dungeons and Dragons Club

Hey everyone! Congrats on being Club of the Month. :)
 
How did I not see this club before? Hi!! o/


Player Name: Lycan

Favorite/Most Played Edition: D&D 4e/5e
It really depends on the style of the campaign and the players which of the two I gravitate more towards. And yes, I'm one of the rare people who genuinely likes Fourth Edition.
Other TTRPGs I have played are Shadowrun, Middle Earth Roleplaying and Maid RPG.

Favorite/Most Played Class: Paladin, Cleric

What got you into D&D:
My high school math teacher sometimes told us stories from his D&D adventures. Me and my friends thought they were cool, so we decided to try it out for ourselves, eventually dragging more and more people along with us into the hobby.

Has D&D impacted your mental health? If so, how?

I think D&D has had quite its impact on helping me getting more comfortable with (public) speaking. Roleplaying as another person makes it feel safer to act outside of your own comfort zone. You may not be a great speaker, but your character might be. Lately I have been playing mostly high-Charisma characters - a Sorcerer and a Bard - on purpose to force myself to talk more. And if it doesn't work, it's still only your character who messed up. The worst thing that could happen is the social encounter turns into a combat encounter. And if it happens, usually we just laugh about it later.

And of course, hanging out and having fun with your friends is always good for your mental health!

Yay! I have a topic to talk about. What TRPG books do you own? Do you buy them often? Do you buy physical or digital copies?

I have to admit that I too have been using illegal PDFs mostly. Certainly the older editions of D&D just have an intimidating amount of source books with character options and it feels buying some of them just doesn't cut it if I want to see all the possible options for spells/powers/feats/etc. I'm considering buying a couple of physical copies of the monster books and maybe and adventure module or two for 5e though, but I have yet to decide which!

Update time! Apparently we made it to Club of the Month. Didn't think that we would make it, but here we are.

Just made a character for a campaign DMd by this guy yesterday. Pretty interesting to see where it will go since we're all starting at level 1 with no equipment, seemingly as prisoners by the sounds of things. Will definitely need to play smart/creatively... especially since I rather stupidly used Constitution as my dump stat and have only got four hit points.
 
I am considering running Death House and Curse of Strahd starting the last Friday in September with my club. Any tips for DMing this with first time players?

So, do you guys have plans for a Halloween (horror-ish) campaigns?

Hoping to get CoS (Curse of Strahd) off the ground with a few friends soon.

I would literally kill a man for a chance to enter a proper horror themed campaign. >:(

DMs Guild has plenty of spooky campaigns for cheap (some are on sale now).
 
No one to play with, rip

Do you have anywhere where you can advertise that you're looking for a group? Also, try asking around at local game shops if there's any group looking for players.
 
Regretfully, my local game shop closed about a year ago. And the local hobby shop as well. It'd be a good hour drive before I could find somewhere to participate in a campaign.

I'm definitely going to try to explore online options though. Or hell, at the very least I can still get involved by offering to draw people's D&D characters for cheap.

If you want to spend the least amount of money possible, there's always Discord for voice chatting and a few other options.
 
Crashes Through Portal

So apparently, we got nominated for the End of Year Festival. Please consider voting, if you can.

I don't see myself doing a Halloween campaign. My group can barely manage to get together for our actual games.
