EDIT! Thanks for front page everyone
For those who cannot read my horrible green text on gray background:
@tigrium made a cleaner version http://imgur.com/a/5FWfs
Lately I've noticed a lot of D&D posts and in comments people keep saying they want to play. So I took a few hours and set up an easy, "Intro to D&D 5e" game over Roll20. I would like to send an open invitation to everyone across Imgur to come join my game.
It would take about 3 to 4 hours for a full game. This includes character creation and a small dungeon to explore and have combat experience. Having a mic is preferred but is not necessary. I'm open to having many game and set up what day/times work for everyone.
So if you are interested, E̶i̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ or send me a message saying when you would like to play. This is designed to be a straight forward one-shot and introduce the basic mechanics of the game. This is a learning experience on both parts; you the player, and me, the GM.
We will be using the D&D 5e Player's Handbook, if you don't have it, that is okay, there will be (Wizard of the Coast approved) free .pdf's that you can use as a reference. Just bring an open mind and a commited time to play. I'm hoping for 3 to 5 players per game as the challenges I have provided requires that amount of players.
RULES: (because I have to say these)
I WILL NO TOLERATE RACISM OR SEXISM IN ANY SORT OF WAY BY PLAYERS.
But if you character has a problem with halflings or elves, that's okay. Just be mature
Okay, glad that's out of the way. I just had to say that and get it over with. Just be cook, alright?
That was the text from above.
Game times set up so far:
Thursday 6/16 - 8pm EST
Saturday 6/18 - 1pm EST/ 7pm BST UTC+1
Saturday 6/18 - 6pm EST
S̶u̶n̶d̶a̶y̶ ̶6̶/̶1̶9̶ ̶-̶ ̶ ̶7̶p̶m̶ ̶E̶S̶T̶ (cancelled, sorry)
If there are people who want more, there will be more! Send me a message and I'll send you an invite and you can choose from the game discussions board what day/time for that game you want to sign up.

DMinTraining
Sure, send me a PM if you can. :)
dooffa
@OP is looking for non colorblind players only, I see
Kukusk
Im colorblind and I found it easy to read than other color combinations.
DMinTraining
Thanks, I think it's just unappealing for some people. Or maybe some just want to get offended for others? I dunno, anyways, cheers!

I'm sorry, I was trying to be clever and use Imgur colors. Anyways, long story short, D&D5e on roll20, interested?
onepositivedude
I assume you're in a US timezone? Otherwise could be fun
GingerSwan
Much darker grey, more of a lime green.
Kairi12
What are halvlings and elves?
KillingTlme
Perhaps add an edit with everything in your images in regular comment font.
DMinTraining
Just did that! Sorry about the green on gray text. :(

Shoulda gone with dark grey and white, but thanks for the effort sir!
DMinTraining
Thanks, sorry if it was hard to read. :(
thetonestarr
Not sure what colors you're seeing, but those are far from the grey and green Imgur uses.
DMinTraining
True, I tried. :)
SpaceOrks
Darker grey next time.

You can take a screenshot of an imgur page and then just use a color picker
LeatherDaddyFishMan
Black and white is fine, dude
DMinTraining
Thanks, I'll use it in the future. :)

Cool initiative btw
DMinTraining
Like a level 7 barbarian, I get advantage on initiative. ;)
RAGESTARVED
3 to 4 hours for a full game? It usually takes me that long just to make my own character.
DMinTraining
D&D 5e is pretty fast, just ability scores, race, class, background, and good to go
temerairewindragon
No racism? But I am angry! Angry about ELVES!
HatsfordaEmprah
FUCKING ELDAR!
DMinTraining
As long as you're a dwarf and have a problem with Elves! I'll allow it! lol, want in?
temerairewindragon
I suppose I could use some practice, but I'm looking for an in-person group. It's not the same without pizza, right?
DMinTraining
lol, pizza grease on the paper character sheets are most definitely a part of it, lol. Unfortunately, it'd be a lot harder to schedule that
temerairewindragon
I know. I tried to run Edge of the Empire online, with players in 4 different time zones. It fell apart fast.
d4rby
As a player of 5+ years and a DM of 2+ years let me warn you @op the toughest thing about it is not strangling your players
GingerSwan
as a DnD player, I can confirm that I made my DM hate me. "I roll to plug the hole with my dick" and rolled 20. I capsized the boat.
DMinTraining
xD
t00tie
I tried messaging @OP but no answer. Could I join one of your games as a total noob?
Fn0rd
This is the most beautyful statement about being a GM/DM
CthuluAlmighty
I'm not even the dm and sometimes I want to kill my party, although to be fair, I play a psychotic gnome
AdditionalPants
DM here. My PCs have been ignoring my hints and have been caught by a dragon, who has sent them on morally repulsive quests as an excuse 1/
AdditionalPants
for them to have a chance to get away. They have completed all the quests and are back for more. None of this is supposed to happen.
DMinTraining
That sounds amazing, have you been to r/DnDbehindthescreen ? They'd probably love your stories! :D
DMinTraining
lol, just take the hook! No, don't kill him, he's trying to give you something important..
thatonekidfromhighschool
My party once spent a good half hour trying to kill a wizard who was polymorphed because we were hungry. GM did not approve
DMinTraining
I once had a DM introduce a troll in the city who wouldn't leave, and we tracked down a senile wizard who knew of a sword to get rid of 1/2
DMinTraining
trolls, but he forgot where he left it so we had to go through a dungeon to get an orb of scrying for him to find it 2/3
DMinTraining
The sword Trollsbane was in his bottom dresser drawer the entire time... We felt like such fools..
d4rby
"I wanna stab him in the dick!" "Okay, roll." *1* "Well you're giving him a solid 7/10 handie so that's something."

Wow. That was amazing. Thank you.
HeyGuysAmIRelevantYet
Never forget it.
SIrEvilMustache
To be fair, that DM had it coming.
SplashesinPuddles
But strangling my players is my favorite part. Also if you're new to it, railroading them a bit can help reduce strangling tendencies.
SplashesinPuddles
Like in general you shouldnt railroad your players but with new players it can help them get moving and for new DMs to control things.
d4rby
I let them do what they want now tbh and it's mostly randomized bullshit. @fullmetalbubble knows what's up
SplashesinPuddles
Ah, most games Ive been in or played there is a story and a certain time table so while there is some freedom there is a clear path.
d4rby
I tried doing that for a while but my players are so out there and have such creative ways of thinking it's hard to. a lose story line
Holdshift2countercaps
yes please
DMinTraining
Great, what sounds better for you: Saturday, 1pm EST or Sunday 7pm EST?
JakeRedFern
This sounds amazing!
Aprana
I would like to play too
DMinTraining
Great, if you PM me your email I can send you an invite from Roll20 and get you set up on a day/time to start playing with a group! :)
Convucius
Saturday 1PM. Problem is, I live in Europe. What time is that here?
DMinTraining
What time zone are you in? BST? CEST? Saturday 1pm EST would be 7pm BST and 8pm CEST. How does that sound?
Convucius
It says I'm UTC +2
Convucius
Which state are you located?
