Hello, Adventurers! Another post coming to you from the CPawx Centre for People who Can’t D&D Good and Wanna Learn to do Other TTRPG Stuff Good Too. Grab your dice and get ready to learn ALL ABOUT D&D DICE! Every adventurer needs at least one set of D&D-specific dice. There are 7 in a set. In D&D, dice are referred to by saying the quantity, then the letter d, then the number of sides on the die. FOR EXAMPLE if you’re rolling two 20-sided dice, the notation reads 2d20. Each set contains a d20, d12, 2d10, d8, d6, d4. Often one of the d10s will be a percentile die, so instead of 0-9, you’ll have 0, 10, 20, up to 90. This is because sometimes you’ll be asked to roll a d100. Although these majestic dice do exist, you can replicate it by rolling 2d10 and having one act as the number in the tens column, and one as the number in the ones column. Dice are integral to the game and are used for many things that I’ll explain in later videos/posts, such as: Skill checks Attack Rolls Saving throws Damage Healing And more. I’d recommend having more than one set of dice so you can punish them if they let you down (there are ways to do this, trust me). And that’s ALL ABOUT D&D DICE! See you next time. Rollingly, CPawx

Hello Adventurers! I'm branching out! The short-form content will live here in the classroom eventually, but it will also populate my new Patreon called The CPawx Centre for People who Can’t D&D Good and Wanna Learn to do Other TTRPG Stuff Good Too. Until I can find time to actually film the videos, I will post the text version here so y'all can hopefully learn a thing or two! First up: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START PLAYING D&D 5.5e! First, to start playing d&d, you need players. And also, someone to run the campaign - a dungeon master. The DM creates the adventure, and the players bring it to life. You’ll need access to game resources - specifically The Player’s Handbook. You can get the physical copy if you’re oldschool, or use DNDBEYOND.com. Next, get some dice! More on them later, but to start, you need at least one set of 7 specific dice: a 20-sided die, a 12-sided die, two 10-sided dice, an eight-sided die, a six-sided die, and a four-sided die. And of course, you’ll need a character sheet. Physical or online, you’ll use this to track everything about your character, from your skills to your weapons to your health. An optional but fun accessory to acquire is a mini - if you’re playing in person and the DM will have physical maps, a mini is a fun way to represent your character - and also helps you visualize where you are in the world. And that’s EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START PLAYING D&D. With Wisdom, CPawx

Hello Adventurers! I've been hard at work preparing some awesome shortform content, but I wanted to give you SOMETHING for today - and I rememberd @Mary Nunaley asked about something explaining the character sheet. I found this excellent resource here, so feel free to have a browse through and if you have any further questions, let me know! Happy Friday Jr, everyone! CPawx THE ULTIMATE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO READING YOUR D&D CHARACTER SHEET

Hark, Adventurers! How is everyone faring? Go on an exciting quests this week? Tell me about them! Also, this week I'll be honouring everyone's favourite princess (especially God's), the one and only SHADOWHEART from Baldur's Gate III. Shadowheart was a no-brainer for my romance option my first playthrough, and every playthrough afterwards it's a struggle to try anyone else. She's a dark and brooding cleric (until you respec her, anyway) who also secretly loves flowers and can't swim. She has a past shrouded in mystery and doesn't trust easily, which makes it all the more heartwarming if you can break through and become her confidant. Also, she's super hot, right??? Who's your favourite BG3 romance option? Love, CPawx
