D&D 5e Beginner Friendly 1-Shot, with House GM Eric V. on Tuesday, July 23rd, from 6pm to 11pm, 6 Seats Maximum
About this experience
The Joy of D&D for Beginners:
This is not a Learn-to-Play Game, but is geared more to be a fun jaunt for beginners to take through the realms of the D&D 5th Edition System.
Maybe you played Baldur's Gate, or maybe you watched Stranger Things. Or maybe you've been on the internet in the last few years, and seen games being streamed by professional actors. However you heard about D&D, you've taken the hardest step of all, you found a game to play in!
Congrats! This game will focus on the fun and joy of playing D&D as a beginner. I’ll take the legalese of D&D rules and translate them to a player-focused game where you can have fun creating a story, and getting to know your character. This is similar to a learn to play, but I modify a couple rules that I feel enhance the player experience. Sound cool? Well, it is!!! If that interests you, read on brave adventurer!
We’ll spend a little time to get characters ready, and then we’ll go on an adventure! D&D has 3 pillars to adventuring; we’ll lean heavily into combat and exploration, and y’all will, hopefully, help a little with the final pillar of “social interaction”. Add it all together, and that’s what we call fun around these parts! .

House GM Eric V.'s Backstory
Hey, folks.
I'm Eric, and most of all, I love the community of TTRPGs.
I started playing D&D in a very different time and place, the early to mid-eighties with AD&D. I'll be honest, we didn't know what the hell we were doing, but we had a lot of fun. Fast-forward 40-ish years and my brother tells me he's playing D&D. I remember thinking, "oh, people still do that? That would be so fun now. I wonder if anyone plays in Dallas?". And now, a few years later, running games is one of my favorite things in the world.
I love building a world with a group, and TTRPGs are just about the most fun thing you can do with your brain. 5E has been my mainstay, but of late, game design and other systems have grabbed a share too. Anything that adds more fun and family to the TTRPG community is what I seek. Let's tell great stories together!
