• Flavor stuff

  I purchased the DiA DM bundle on DMSguild (https://www.dmsguild.com/product/295015) which includes great advice on how to run the campaign as well as maps to use. I also use a free app called DM Helper (https://dm-helper.itch.io/dm-helper) to display maps, organize the campaign, and track HP & initiative during combat. Source: over 2 years ago

• New DM looking for advice on using VTT in live settings.

  What I am also not sure about is https://dm-helper.itch.io/dm-helper ... Not because it isn't useful, it's because I am not sure about how to get stuff in there.

  So I added the pdf for the player rulebook, monster manual, and command cheatsheet for the avrae discord bot found on dndbeyond.com as a tool to help run games through discord.

• Look for D&D Player to join a couple of campaigns - New Players welcome! You will have fun :)

  I have a lot of these in hard book formats, but since I want to run adventures using dndbeyond.com it is going to be a good time to pick the digital versions, plus I can share all these with members of my champaigns for free. Source: 11 months ago

• Baldur's Gate arriving on August 3 on PC!

  There are countless videos on YouTube around how they play at the tabletop, but I think the best place to start would actually be dndbeyond.com. You will be locked to the basics, but you can get an idea from character building there because you can create characters and see how stats impact rolls and explore class features.
