A thing we usually never have time to over in our monthly TTRPG events is how to actually make a D&D 5e character from scratch, so here’s an attempt at addressing that!
Who this is for
- Players to new to TTRPGs like D&D, and would like to learn how to make a character.
- Writers and other creative people who may find some inspiration from the rich world of characters and ideas that are in Dungeons & Dragons
- People who have no idea about D&D and tabletop games but are open to spending two hours to see what it is all about.
What to expect
- A step-by-step approach to creating a Dungeons & Dragons character, made for people who are totally new to D&D or have played but never made a character from scratch.
- We’ll provide blank character sheets, printed handouts, dice, and other tools needed to participate
- My (@karthikb351) opinionated tools & tips on how to go about making fun quirks, personalities, and backstories (which is useful for making NPCs too).
- You will have a group of DMs and other players to bounce ideas off of during the workshop
- Access to the physical books and supplements (Player’s Handbook, Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, and more!)
Takeaways
- A fully playable Dungeons & Dragons 5e character sheet at 3rd-5th level
- An understanding of the game’s basic rules
- My (@karthikb351) opinionated views on what makes for “good” characters from a DM’s perspective. Hopefully not very controversial
.
What to not expect
- This is not a comprehensive look at every option available in D&D 5e.
- This is restricted only to D&D 5e to keep it simple, but several of the ideas are applicable across other TTRPG games.
This is also a great tie-in to @mithunbalraj’s Solo-play / DM-less TTRPG workshop which is scheduled immediately after. You can take the character you made from this into that one!
