Yes you read that correctly. I, BigFig, the head moderator of this community have just tonight, finally, played DnD for the first time with my friends.
I chose to be the DM and ran a 3 member party; a sorcerer, a wizard, and a barbarian; through the first chapter of Dragons of Stormwreck Isle.
I am absolutely hooked and cannot wait to continue.
That’s awesome! My friend group tried out DND in a similar way, none of us had ever played before so one stepped up to DM. I’ve become a DM myself since then, almost begrudgingly at first but I’ve really come to enjoy it. But if I may ask, what got you to set up a DND community before playing yourself? Were you inspired by communities on other sites, or by following campaigns (Critical Role et. al)?
I have been immersed in the D&D community for over a decade of my life. I’ve owned most of the books of the last 10 years, and I have listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts, consumed every comic there is to consume, ready days of articles, etc.
But my friend group has always been either uncoordinated, in different parts of the world, or just different places in life that things have never lined up for us to actually play the game. FINALLY things have lined up just right and I am DMing not one but TWO groups!
AWESOME! Keep it up. I ended up doing a quick 2 session DM fill in for my crew while our main DM was on vacation. 2 years later and we have yet to finish my homebrew campaign that came from it.
