  • A short, simple explanation: it’s kinda like a classic fantasy book except you make all of the decisions for one character. The DM isn’t quite the same as an author because he mostly controls how the world reacts to the players and the events that happen as you travel, but the players are all essentially the protagonists of the story

    Whenever there’s a chance for failure, you roll dice to see if you succeed. Some characters are better at certain actions than others are so the game works best when the players cooperate

    There’s also a tactical aspect and some resource management to the game, but you can be eased into that without issues

    I don’t really mind the non-replacable batteries tbh. Water resistance is much harder when you need to design your phone with a removable battery.

    I do want the SD card slots back though. I don’t care about having two Sim cards, I want my enormous local storage that I can transfer in 8-10 seconds back










  • To start with you’ll want either the basic rules or Player’s Handbook. The basic rules are free on DnD Beyond (that’s the easiest place to find them, but you can also just Google it). Personally, I say that if you’re doing 5e, you should have the PHB or some way to access the player options in there

    You’ll want to go through the character creation section, skill checks, combat and spellcasting. That should be enough to start. Next, I highly recommend making a character. By making a character you’ll learn well enough to teach your players.

    And finally, nothing has been more useful to me than Matt Colville’s running the game playlist. You only need the first few videos to get started, the rest is optional advice and things he likes to do
