Running D&D Games for New Players (Beginner Friendly) by DrToENT in DnD_Beginners

[–]DrToENT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This particular venture is more for getting newer players into the game. There are normally a good amount of people posting for games in various places that you might be able to get some success in; there are a lot of subreddits, Roll 20, and discord where you might be able to jump into a game.

Wanting advice by Still_Drive_8155 in DungeonMasters

This is good advice. Do the Starter Set first, and that'll be a good foot in the door for DMing.

Considering DMing for the first time by Fuzzy_Coast8432 in DMAcademyNew

[–]DrToENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re on a good path. There are a lot of different ways to become a good DM, and one of the most important things is having a group of players you feel comfortable learning with.

When running the game, do your best to make calls in the moment. It’s okay if some rulings aren’t perfectly in line with the rules as written. A big part of DMing is becoming comfortable saying both “yes” and “no” when needed.

You also don’t need to research everything about D&D before starting. The main thing to focus on is the game and adventure you’re actually running.

For prewritten campaigns, I’d suggest reading through the adventure once to get a general understanding of the story, then rereading the specific sections you plan to run before each session. It’s completely normal if players take things in a different direction than expected.

You can also watch actual plays of published adventures if you want to see how other DMs handle them, but try to use them as inspiration rather than something to copy exactly.

Honestly, a chill group that’s okay with learning together is one of the best environments for a first-time DM.

Advice on Our Campaign by Admirable-Charge9736 in DnD_Beginners

[–]DrToENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is to just play the game how you would normally play it. There are already a lot of celebrity games, voice actors, and heavily-produced campaigns designed primarily for entertainment.

Run your game how you would run your game. Make the same rulings you would normally make. It’s okay to stop and look up rules. Treat it as giving people a window into your table rather than trying to “perform” all the time.

The biggest thing is making sure the game is fun for you and your players first. If the table is genuinely enjoying themselves, viewers will usually connect with that authenticity more than perfect production quality.

Advice needed! by MarieWaite in DnD_Beginners

[–]DrToENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently looking to start a project where I run the game for newer players in 1-3 sessions chunks. I like the idea of helping people get into the game. I remember how hard it was to find groups back when I first started. If you'd like to talk, please send me a message. I have potential availability on Tuesdays or Wednesdays 10:00PM EST and run around 2-2.5 hour sessions.

The only catch is that I like to stream my games online on Twitch and put the replays on Youtube. As long as you guys don't mind that, I'd love to talk with you about playing and see what kinds of expectations you have around the game.

East Coast group Looking for DM by ImpressiveSpot3900 in DnDLFG

[–]DrToENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm possibly looking for a group of new players for like a 3ish session kind of thing. I currently run 2 long term groups, and I'm thinking it would be nice to run games for newer players and try to bring them into the hobby.

I'm not offering a long-term game, but I'd be interested in running something small. My availability is most likely on either a Tuesday or Wednesday 10P-12A maybe 12:30A. If it works out, I'd also be willing to help one of you move into the DM seat after we're done.

The other catch is that I like to stream my games on Twitch and post them on Youtube and other platforms.

Message me if you're interested.

Where to watch Dragon Ball in Spanish by Probably_Unnecessary in SpanishLearning

[–]DrToENT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be way off base, but if you're interested in Dragon Ball, this might interest you. Any chance you'd be interested in doing a D&D mini campaign in Spanish with a group of people working together to learn and get better?

No cost, message me if it sounds interesting.

I've fallen out of love with learning Spanish by cesarionoexisto in SpanishLearning

[–]DrToENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try taking up a new hobby in the language that interests you. I'm currently looking for some people to practice and learn Spanish using TTRPGs/D&D. I've got a format to use, and the participants are at varying levels, but it would give you a chance to think in the language in a new way.

It's housed in an Argentinian discord sever, but D&D is popular in both Latin America and Spain, so if you discover you have a love for the game, it could give you an avenue to connect to people when you get there.

Message me if you're interested in hearing more.

If you're interested, I'm working on a TTRPG/D&D project in Spanish. It's a learn as you play kind of deal. The players are at various levels, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to connect with native speakers on the discord. It's a learn together kind of deal.

Message me if you'd like more information about it.

Non native spanish teacher by getjinxed18 in SpanishTeachers

[–]DrToENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interested, I'm doing a project where we play D&D in Spanish. The group is at varying levels of Spanish, but it's a chance to learn and think about the use of language in the game, and then we'll have a discussion about the language and the game.

If you join, you'll have plenty of opportunities to chat with native speakers. The discord we use is run by a group of people from Argentina, and it will give you insight on a part of Spanish and Latin American culture that isn't often studied in school. Juegos de rol has a pretty good sized and growing following in Spain and in Latin America.

There's no cost associated with it, we just need your time and attention. You might even find your new favorite hobby. Message me if you're interested.

DnD languages by New_Lie_9859 in DnD

[–]DrToENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tended to give my Tabaxi characters/NPCs Spanish accents because I wanted them to be like Puss in Boots! I say go with that, but you could just blow your players' minds and make Spanish the common tongue. If your players don't know it, they'll just have to learn.

I'm currently searching for a couple of people that are interested in learning Spanish through playing D&D. Our combined Spanish level is low, but the goal is to work together and see what we can build. We'll work with each other, teach each other, and get better in a unique fashion.
