A Summons

Your friend Andreas has invited you to play Dungeons & Dragons — this is your summons.

If you have never played, good. You'll like it faster than you think. If you have played, you're home already. This is a small site with almost no homework — just a few pages to read when the mood strikes, so that when we sit down together, nobody is lost and everybody has a character they're excited to play.

Start anywhere. Come back whenever. There is no test.

One evening, four hours, our place. Date lands when the calendar cooperates.

✦ ✦ ✦
Chapter I New Here? What Dungeons & Dragons actually is, in plain English. Roll a virtual d20, meet the dice, and start dreaming up a character. Chapter II The World A short tour of the Sword Coast — who lives there, what the taverns sound like, which names to listen for. Chapter III Your Character Eight ready-to-play characters to pick from, or build your own. Find the one that fits and email Andreas — he'll take it from there.

A week before we play, a letter will arrive at your house. Open it alone. Do not compare notes with the others until you reach the Trade Way.
