You are a saint, a god amongst men. I have to scrape by an throw together a bunch of mismatched assets from Roll20 half the time

My group decided to start playing D&D 2 weeks ago. The guy that wanted to DM bailed both times. So, our regular GM took over. Great fun!
Roqinn
Our regular GM usually runs Star Wars Edge of the Empire games as he prefers to GM sci-fi. He did a great job for an off the cuff game.

I wish I could put that much effort into D&D
forum93rx
So I’m afraid to ask but...is this game basically chess combined with lord of the rings type shit ??
PopkinSandwich
fyi: https://imgur.com/Fy8m3Cd also, I went back and upvoted each, I forgot favorite doesn't upvote anymore
Vysard
Every single time I've seen these maps, it looks like the tower defense flash games I play.

You may want to find the sources for these. Some of these are *not* free. I recognize a number of them by Michael Tumey

I saw the first pic and recognized it from The Red Hand campaign’s first encounter. I’m clearly a nerd.

ooo!

I just started a D&D 5e campaign,Those will make fine additions to my collection.

Same!
axelfive
I've killed goblins on some of these maps.
Caelumbro
Definitely gonna steal some of these. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love the map posts if the pictures weren't so often squared. It fucks up using them on Roll20.
Eldis
You don't need squares even to play IRL. Just use something to measure the distances. Sigh.
Megalovania
There is an option to stop the image from snapping to the grid so you can measure it yourself on Roll20, but it doesn't work with every map.
Eldis
Uh, yeah, if you've ever used Roll20 you know you're never going to be able to align those squares together. It's faster to make a new map.
Megalovania
I primarily play on Roll20 and managed to align them up with a couple of maps. Those that couldn't align, I just remove the Roll20 grid.

I’ve recently started running a lot of stuff on Roll20. Having high-quality maps adds so much to he experience. So thanks!
DarkSock
I played the hell out of D&D in the 80’s but now I’m all like: “D&D is just analog Skyrim...”
textilelover
I played the ehll out of it in the 80's too! But I still play. And I have spawned more gamers! Mwahahaaa!
DarkSock
Our last game was mid-campaign in ‘93; then everyone suddenly got married & had babies. My PC, Serbus Grout, is still camped on that volcano
textilelover
Oh man! I made sure I married a guy who games. And now my son is an avid gamer. My daughter will play Call of Cathulhu but not D&D. sigh.
Bainin
when i made some more maps i will make a dump of my best quality ones :-)
GrimRiderJ
Following you for that one
Roqinn
There are some apps you might want to try: 5E Squire, 5 Complete Reference and D&D Beyond. Also RPG Dice Roller if you need/want it.
textilelover
D&D Beyond SERIOUSLY pissed me off when I realized what all you have to buy to really use it. I own the books, I'm not paying $26 for a pdf.
Pineapple528
I mean i'm all for it but... why the sudden influx of DND posts?
ispentwaytoolongthinkingaboutthis
I would love to learn to play D&D
triscuit3000
Can you roll dice and pretend to be dwarf? if so you're already two thirds of the way there
Kivoku
Roll20 is an online app that will let you learn without actually having to go out and physically meet with groups

Check out the Gauntlet community for what it probably the best, most accepting gaming community out there. They do a lot with online gaming!
FatCat7d3
Come to Oregon I’ll teach you to play. Lol

You stand on a thin beam above the burning city. D'vont advances towards you with scimitar drawn and hate in her eyes. Your action?
NowWatchMeGlitch
Can she fly, hover, or use any other method to get off the beam?
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
She can shadow teleport. You... are a champion, a sort of a rogue/paladin cross. Healing and stealth and such. So you can probably do /

MikaCvijet
Don't mind me, just a passing dot.
MostIndeedlySo
By all means. It's always interesting to hear how the DM sees the game and how he comes up with the decisions he makes.
MostIndeedlySo
It's D&D 4th edition so some of the rules are different but the overall feel of the game is still the same, as to how to go and start gaming
MostIndeedlySo
For game system I'd suggest either D&D 5th edition or Pathfinder (it's basically revised D&D 3.5 edition, also more complex than 5th).
WolfRamX4
Words of note: Your enjoyment will lean greatly on depending if you have a good GM or not. A poor one can really ruin it for new players.1
WolfRamX4
1But that said, it's easy, especially 5e. You'll have a firm grasp of it by the end of your first session.
Kaeldiar
It's awesome! Here's an excellent resource for finding a group https://geekandsundry.com/finding-a-dd-group-how-do-you-want-to-do-this/

Uniqueusername77
These are alright for playing in person, but typically it's a hell of a lot easier to find a game on roll20.
Kaeldiar
Agreed! roll20 is fabulous!
Sstargamer
Or just check out Roll20
GreenYawgmoth
I'm gonna eat all the downvotes for this, but I would suggest trying something way lighter than D&D for your 1st game.
Legosinthedark
Oh like Pathfinder :)
WolfRamX4
Why? DnD, let alone 5e, is a cake walk compared to most other PnP systems, like Rifts. They're designed to be easily taught.
GreenYawgmoth
RIFTS is about the only system I'd put above D&D in complexity so a hearty LOL from me on picking that as your counterexample.
GreenYawgmoth
AW, FATE, Fragged Empire, & Shadows of the Demon Lord are all leagues lighter and way tighter in design. That's just off the top of my head.
KnowerOfNothing
I think D&D 5e is relatively easy to pick up. What system would you suggest?
GreenYawgmoth
I would suggest something like Apocalypse World (or whatever *W sounds fun), maybe FATE depending on how you like to roll dice. Depends...
GreenYawgmoth
...on what exactly they're looking for in a game, really. D&D is really only good for a couple kinds of game at most.
barnwolf
Most RPG group's I've been in quite after a handful of sessions. I'd recommend using pre-made characters for a couple dungeon dives to start
