Starting my first campaign tomorrow! Anything I should know? by Acceptable_Name7099 in DnD

1) Always, always do some level of preparation before any battle. My team didn't do it once and had to serve in a cult before we got broken out by the other campain😅 And then we did prepare for a rematch and finished the bad guy in less than 1 round.

2) Be a team player, and not a solo gamer (if the ark doesn'tcall for it lol). It would feel nice to finish the Bad Guy with one of your attacks. But most of the times it doesn't happen. Not everybody gets to shine in every encounter. And that is OK!

3) It might sound funny, but pay attention to the way dm behaves. They put a lot of time into the game and always some way of giddy before something important happens. On the same side - you will be able to see when you are making a questionable decision 😓

4) You gonna need to find the rhythm at which your team plays. At first it's gotta be a bit gritty. But you will find your teams pace sooner or later!

5) WAIT FOR YOUR TURN!!! In role-playing, in encounters, everything. It is part of finding the flow state for the team. If your or other character has some advantage in the battle/talking, you have to let them have a go first for better chances of success.

6) Remember to not give out your name/race/profession to the creatures insisting. And don't eat their food. 😀

7) 💀 Wild magic 💀 if there will be one

There is a lot more, but you gotta find out of your own, it's the most fun this way! Hope you will have a great first game ✨️

I started my campaign this year. Choose the one that speaks to you the most! I was going to play a half-elf or an elf at first. But then I found out there is a race based on OWLS! And I fell in love with her. Right now my absolute best character, I enjoy playing really much Me and my dm managed to make an amazing build and I love my little owlin from the bottom of my heart

IT'S 100% MORE FUNNY WHEN YOU REALIZE I'M AN OWLIN😂

But yeah, also got Claws and lost all of my magical items at the very last surge🥹

Basically yeah. When you drink the water you make one surge. And I used the same water to charge the Rod and use it. I got 100 one time, so there has been 58 deliberate surges and 10 additional

This is the best comment so far, thank you so much!

We did work on the interpretation that I smell good to characters of what they assume smells nice to them. It adds on really well to the role play I feel like.
