1. How to play D&D
Workshop #2

2. The DM ALWAYS has final say
The Dungeon Master always has the final say!!!!
Do not argue with you’re DM, it ruins everyone's experience
It is ok to elaborate with the DM if you generally believe he is mistaken
(1:40)

3. The DM is not your enemy
The DM is (most likely) not plotting against you or buffing enemies to kill you faster
The DM is merely there to tell you what happens and what monsters do, not to kill you
If you believe you’re DM is purposely being unfair or killing you off, let us know

4. One die to rule them all…
The d20
# on the dice + modifiers
Modifiers come from ability scores, bonuses, and proficiencys
Advantage & Disadvantage

5. Engaging in the story Pay attention to what is happening
Instagram is not important while playing
Actively listen and contribute to the story and game
If there is a legitimate reason why you cannot be fully engaged, let your DM know

6. Be your character
Do not act as you would in real life, act as your character would
Ex: If you are playing a Lawful Good character and are confronted with a dying person in front of you, you generally wouldn’t kill them and steal their loot, you would help them.
The way you think in the real world differs from how your character thinks (maybe)

7. Use your resources (but not too much)
Use the reference books to your advantage
Key word “Reference”
It’s not fun to be a rules stickler
Allow your fellow players and DM some creative leniency

8. Don’t Metagame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiUMBrYNmqk
What is Metagaming?
Do not act as if your character knew everything that you do
Ex: if your paying a level 1 fighter who left his town to help people, he will probably not know what every monsters weaknesses are, where traps are exactly, etc. PLAY AS YOUR CHARACTER!!!

9. Make friends and have fun!
