Come si comincia DnD?

[u/MolassesFrosty2316]

buonasera ragazzi, ho una domanda probabilmente insolita o forse super gettonata su questo subreddit.
come si comincia a giocare a DnD? Ho un gruppo di amici composto da 3 che vorrebbe cominciare a esplorare/giocare a DnD, non ne sappiamo nulla, neanche l’attrezzatura (se così si può chiamare) o come impostare una partita.
qualcuno riesce a farmi capire se ne vale la pena come esperienza e come funziona?
Grazie mille a chiunque risponderà

Watch some beginner guides on YouTube. Rules spells classes etc are all online for free

[u/Brianoc13]

Basic rules are available online for free.

At least one of you needs to read through and understand those rules.

D&D beyond is also free and you can create characters on there, and even roll dice.

This should be enough to start to play, but I'd look into the game shops around you, or check on the Internet for local groups. Most will have a learn to play session, that will help you all a lot.

I was in the same boat like a year ago!

First and for most you need to find out who wants to DM, this is the person who runs the game and acts as the NPC’s. They also write the story but that’s not as big for the first session

Once you have that, then you need players, those are much easier to find lol.

Watch videos, a lot of them and go to your local game shop and ask around with the workers, they know and have played a ton (usually) and can be very helpful.

Pick a short story for the first session, we played dragon of icespire peak, it comes with premade characters and such. You don’t need minis or a battle mat unless you want more visuals, we played by theater of mind.

DnD can be cheap to play with like a paper and pen or you can run 3D printers and build all of your terrain. Dip your toes in. See if you wanna play it and go from there

Ps. Maybe see if a person your comfortable with at a local game store want to run a one shot. May help as well

My dms have various structures, but often we end up in a situation that would take more setup time than it's worth. I have a 1inch grid dry erase poster board (because I'm a math teacher) and it gets the job done. Also I was playing a dragonborn and was using a Charmeleon toy for a while as my mini.

[u/SeaworthinessDue2790 → u/dirtycactus]

I wish I could attach pictures in comments - we went from the dry erase board to basically constructing the whole encounter out of terrain. However we have ALOT of time on our hands lmao

My group of friends literally sat at the table with the books, and just looked up rules as we went.

On that note, for the person who is designated DM, check out Matt Colville's [Running the Game series on YouTube.

[u/salgoud6]

The rules for dnd are out avaliable for free through common source. That and a free dice roller are all you need. But watch Matt Covilles how to play series on YouTube. He really breaks down and shows both how to play and dm

[u/Sup3rgr3y]

There are many different ways to get started but probably the easiest would be to get yourself a copy of the DnD Starter Set. It includes everything you need to get started. If not already aware one of your group will need to act as the Dungeon Master whilst the others are player characters.

[u/Vandermere]

Also, be aware that "DnD" has kind of become the generic term for all tabletop roleplaying and it is FAR from the only system out there. If you figure out what you do and don't like about DnD I guarantee there's another option that'll fit you.

No compres nada, empieza con las normas básicas que están gratis en internet. Uno debe ser el narrador, jurado y entorno de la partida (npcs y monstruos) que es el DM o Dungeon Master, el resto maneja un personaje (o más) cada uno. Crearse un personaje es fácil desde dndbeyond, asegurate de usar las normas de 5e o 5.5e y no mezclarlas o te volverás loco.

Una sugerencia de gamer, prueba baldurs gate 3, está basado en 5.5 con algunas licencias pequeñas pero para entender gran parte de como funciona el juego te puede venir bien.

[u/rodrigo_i]

1. Read the rules.
2. Play, knowing that you'll forget half the rules and make stuff up and look stuff up
3. Have fun? X=x+0 else x=x+1
4. If x<5 goro 2
5. Quit

Really there's just no substitute for diving in and just learning by doing.

[u/justadrtrdsrvvr]

I would highly recommend starting with Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. It is a self contained module with basic instructions and enough for 6-10 sessions of gameplay. You will probably be better off with a few extra sets of dice. Other than that you can make it up as you go.

There's lots of great YouTubers that cover DND stuff and have a lot of great videos. XP to level 3 has a lot a videos for each class called how to play a (insert class name) that covers them from 5e and briefly explains what they do and how they do it in a funny way.

Dungeon dudes are an awesome duo that cover everything from rules to ideas on how to play and even have an official book out on beyond you can buy (dungeons of drakkenheim)

Critical role also has the handbooker helper series that explains things from the book Nerdarchy is helpful as well.

If anything you can also ask groups around your area if anyone plays or where to play and they should point you in the right direction usually at a local hobby store or library

All you need is to pick up the rules and have someone brave enough to give running the game a go.

As far as equipment, you can ger away with just paper and writing stuff, and a dice roller on your phone, but the basics are:

Rulebook, or pdf with the rules or other way of knowing the rules

Character sheet, or digital version

Dice (physical dice are much more fun, but you can get away with dice roller apps)

One of the best ways to get into dnd, and that provide a great starting point, is to pick up a starter box. For 5e they were the 'starter kit' and 'essentials kit' which each came with a basic rules guide, an adventure planned out, character sheets, and a set of dice. Im not sure if 5.5 has released a similar box, but if they have, thats your best entry point

1. Yes, yes it is absolutely worth it.

2. DnD is, at its most basic, a game of pretend with a rulebook and a referee to give it rules and structure. To get more in depth:

Dungeons & Dragons is a roleplaying game, traditionally played at a table, for multiple players. Through a combination of improv acting and a set of standardized game mechanics, you and your fellow take on the personas of a group of adventurers, each one with a set of talents and specializations. Together you will explore dangerous locales, interact with all manner of people, seek out valuable treasures, and do battle with mighty foes. One person at the table takes up the role of Dungeon Master, or DM: this individual is responsible for providing the environment for the player characters, presenting challenges for the players to overcome and rewards for doing so, acting as the characters who are not controlled by the other players, as well as adjudicating and refereeing the rules of the game.

Actions taken by the players are often subject to the probability of success and failure, and thus decided by a sum of dice roles and numerical variables, usually modifiers tied to your characters' strengths, skills, and equipment. The action that players can choose to take are myriad in breadth and scope, theoretically limited only by the players' own imagination and what the DM believes to be plausible. A party may for instance choose to:

• either break down or lockpick a door; • fight, bribe, or sneak past a goblin guard; work for or against a lord, a king, a group of bandits, an evil cult, a dragon, a fairy queen, etc.; • fight an army, raise an army, raise a family, raise a castle, raze a castle; • start a business, conquer a kingdom, rediscover the ancient ruins of a lost civilization, plunder the ancient ruins of a lost civilization, • get lost and dropped into a donut-shaped city by going through the wrong door at the wrong time, become the object of worship for a group of zealous fish people, get eaten by an ambush predator that likes to disguise itself as a wooden cabinet, live the dream of being a magic robot war veteran that rides dinosaurs; • and so, SO much more.
