My prep for the taster D&D session

I think it’s obvious by now I’m all in on sharing knowledge or my ramblings that pass as knowledge. Particularly when it comes to my journey to become a DM/GM.

Long time sufferers of this blog know that plans are afoot for me to run a D&D session for noobs and folks that want to try a role playing game. I had some friends that wanted to try it, I wanted to try being a DM. A match made in heaven!

In previous posts I’ve talked about the dungeon I’ll be using for this taster session. Plus there have been one or two posts mentioning the minis and 3D models I’ve got in for it as well. Which should be a massive clue that I’ll be using miniatures and battle maps!

I’ve even jumped the gun and produced a campaign pitch document. Yeah I know very presumptuous of me.

Now it’s time to finally share with the world my notes for this first session. I finished them this morning and just had to share them with the world.

I have the DM screen, however you will notice in the prep notes I have produced a cheat sheet to compliment it, and hopefully be quicker than referring to the rule book. I’ve also pre-rolled initiative for the creatures to speed up combat.

Hopefully others will find these notes useful.

D&D Noob Oneshot

Naturally once the taster has been run, I’ll write up a post mortem. But first the continued slightly less complicated than Brexit negotiations for a date to play.
