A Shared world of D&D One-Shots
What's it all about?
As a games club we meet once a month and the demand for D&D games is high. It's a lot of responsibility to have one or two DM's shoulder all the work and miss out on playing themselves. Likewise we know that players like to develop and grow their characters - one-shots are fun but you don't want to be rolling new characters each and every month.
SO.. Tales from the TrollSkull Tavern is our initiative to let you the player enjoy taking your character through the levels but at the same time let the DM's sit on the other side of the games masters screen and play as well.
We have assembled a crack-team of five Dungeon Masters who will take turns running one-shots each month...with a difference. Instead of you making new characters for each DM's game you will keep your character and each month level them up. DM's will rotate and get the opportunity to play themselves.
More often than not you'll start your adventure in The TrollSkull Tavern - an adventurers favourite in the North Ward of Waterdeep on the Sword Coast in the land of Faerûn (Forgotten Realms). But make no mistake - you adventure could take you literally anywhere!
We're developing a framework of locations and NPCs so whilst each game is unique, there are familiar threads running across all game session regardless of the DM running the game.
A big thanks to Rich, Beth, Sam, Sven and Chris for volunteering their time. Soon we'll be posting details on character creation so if you have book a seat on a club D&D game keep your eyes peeled! More to follow soon.
Character Creation
If you have claimed a seat at one of our Tales from the Troll TrollSkull Tavern games you should join the D&D Trollskull Tavern What's App Sub group in the community. Here you'll receive a link invite to the DNDBeyond Campaign where you can create your character.
We are using DNDBeyond as a way to track multiple characters across several games. This allows DM's to see exactly who in in each game and tailor adventures around that groups strengths and weaknesses.
So get started - head to dndbeyond.com and create a character.
Below are our character creation guidelines.
1: We're using 2024 rules
2 Use point buy to create your characters abilities.
3: Follow the screen shots below for setting to adopt in dndbeyond.
4: Start at level 3, your DM's will advise you if you need to level up before your game or not.
