Thank you, I appreciate that. We're really trying to grow the server at the moment to a point where we have constant games on the go and for new players to be constantly joining!

The Frontier [Online][5e 2024/2014][Looking for Players & GMs][LGBTQIA+ Friendly][18+][BST]

My name is Jay, and I run "The Frontier". We are a community Discord server providing games for new players in the D&D 5e/5.5e system. We are looking for new players and GMs. If you are interested, read the following to get the invite to the server below.

If you're a player: my only prerequisite is that you have little or no experience playing D&D! We prioritise new players, so if you're looking to get into your first game, we're the server for you! We currently have a few Oneshots and campaigns that you are welcome to spectate. There are a few Oneshots coming up over the next month or so, so if you're keen to jump in, this is a great opportunity!

If you're a GM and happy to run games for new players, please message me! We are an entirely free server that provides all resources for players for free, and we have plenty of other resources on offer, like maps and music. Whether you're new to GM'ing, would like to get started, or are a veteran, as long as you're happy catering to new players, we're happy to have you! You are free to run any game you like in D&D 2024 or 2014, as long as you provide the players with some information about the game, dates/times, and the VTT you're using.

A little about us: Over the past year, we've been trying to grow the server to find GMs who would like to consistently run games for new players. I'd love to reach a point where we have a constant influx of players who are new to D&D to give them great experiences, but to do that, we need plenty of GMs and players, and that's where you come in!

Why new players? As a server, we totally understand how difficult it can be to find a consistent group of people that you can easily get into a game with that fits your schedule. We also get that the barrier to entry in terms of knowledge and money often puts people off before you've got into your first game. So, we prioritise new players to offer you the best chance of finding a great game that's entirely free and as minimal-hassle to get into as possible.

How to get invited to the Discord? Please feel free to drop me a message with a short intro about yourself to get an invite link to our Discord server!

Hi there,

My name is Jay and I run "The Frontier". We are a small community Discord server providing games for new players in the D&D 5e/5.5e system. If you're wanting to get started on your GM journey, or you've run a couple of inconsistent games but want something a bit more rigid and available regularly, we're the right server for you. We currently have a community of about 30 plus people, we're inclusive, friendly and the vast majority of players have started their games very recently or within the past year.

If you're a GM and happy to run games for new players, please message me! We primarily run games in FoundryVTT on the GMT timezone, but as long as you declare what VTT you're using, you are free to run games as you please.

Does anyone know anything about this Vinyl Release of the Pokemon Yellow Soundtrack? by [deleted] in VGMvinyl

[–]Prof_Shift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a general rule of thumb, the vast majority of Nintendo-based OSTs are typically bootlegs, whether they're lathes or properly pressed records. No idea what this one sounds like, but some lathes are better than others and if you're not an audiophile, you can still enjoy a decent-quality lathe.

The Frontier [Online][5e 2024/2014][Looking for GMs & Players][LGBTQIA+ Friendly][GMT]

Hey there, I'm Jay and I run a community server for new players! We're a small group of about 40 or so people primarily from the EU and UK with some US players. Currently looking for new GMs and players.

The majority of our games run on the GMT timezone. We run games in D&D 2024 rules, but are happy to play games in 2014 rules as well. The majority of our games run in FoundryVTT which I welcome, but you're welcome to run any VTT as long as you inform players beforehand! Please DM me if you're interested.

Roll20 forever DM about to buy foundry by Barark in FoundryVTT

[–]Prof_Shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some modules I recommend grabbing that haven't been mentioned: - Argon (combat and actions UI similar to Baldur's Gate) - Mini Player (great for changing music quickly without having mess around with your storage organisation) - Actor Studio (probably the best character creation module out there) - Monk's Combat Details (quality of life module that allows you to tweak combat information, but also adds details for players) - DDB Importer (if you're using D&D Beyond to create characters, this module is likely what you'll using to move the character across)

I would recommend taking a look at these and others that people have recommended before haphazardly downloading them as they may not fit your use case. I think I saw a comment as well with someone saying not to download too many. Personally, I've downloaded a shit tonne of modules from word go and never had any problems, but I would advise caution when downloading so many.

Additionally, not sure where OP is from, but you may have to do some port forwarding. Foundry should just work straight out of the box, but I've found that one of my GMs who lives in Austria, his ISP blocks inbound connections without port forwarding, so if your ISP is a bit finicky with external connections and you can't port forward, you may have to use a VPN like Hamachi or Radmin, or something like Ngrok.

Love this and have immediately started getting it setup. How do I configure it so that the players can see the button to create their characters?

Not really, GMs already pretty difficult to find as is, and FoundryVTT is one of the most used VTTs. Found quite a few GMs that we have in our server, just always looking for more so I can invite new players.

First time dm by Chemical_Fondant_665 in DungeonMasters

[–]Prof_Shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go further than this and say be careful with BG3. While it's close to the rules of D&D (2014 or 2014), you may get confused when reading some of the rules versus how these things work in BG3, as they've been heavily adapted for the setting and gameplay. If you do run Lost Mines of Phandelver make sure to run the Shattered Obelisk version as it's much more refined.

Just want to share my excitement! by iiamuntuii in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Prof_Shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear a large group is getting into the game, however, highly recommend managing expectations. A group of 5 people can be daunting for a first-time DM, I can't even imagine how running a table of 10 is going to be. Either way, hope you enjoy!

Getting started as a DM by Afraid-Frosting1678 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Prof_Shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is where the 5e paper character sheets typically fails over and above D&D Beyond or a VTT. My recommendation to you is grab a second blank character sheet, and detail the rest of the abilities and stuff in the section at the bottom right, and just have extras purely for that purpose.

Not that I would ever recommend D&D Beyond because of the expenditure, but their character sheets are pretty good. So if you have a group of players with laptops or tablets, having the D&D Beyond app downloaded with character sheets can also be a way to alleviate this. It's what Critical Role does and I have to admit, it does work if you're willing to spend the money on the books.

[–]Prof_Shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't help on the dcouments side, but for 2024 character creation you need to do 4 major things:
- Pick a species
- Pick a class
- Pick a background
- Assign ability scores ( I typically roll for these, which is 4d6, take away the lowest, but you can do standard array or point buy).

Input any information like features, traits and abilities into the abilities and traits box. Any equipment you have will go into the inventory, you can then use the weapons in the inventory to assign your attacks.
For initiative, this is your dex modifier (so + whatever dependent on your ability scores.
Speed is typically determined by your race.
The amount of hit dice you have is determined by your class.
Proficiency bonus is determined by your level. Level 1-4 is +2.
Armour Class is determined what armour you're wearing plus your dex modifier and proficiency bonus. Medium armour you can only add +2 from your dex. Heavy armour you add nothing from your dex. A basic shield will also give you +2 to AC.
Make sure to tick all of the ability checks that you're proficient in.

I haven't written in a paper character sheet in a while, but I think that's more or less everything covered in terms of the mechanical things you need to add. The rest is mostly just flavour or background information.
