Nocturnality RPG

If you have a group of friends in mind to play with, great! You'll need a GM to lead the game though. You can try it for yourself, but for your first time playing the game I would recommend playing as a character.

An easy class to start out with is fighter, rogue or barbarian since you will not have to deal with rules that involve spellcasting. If you do want to do some spellcasting but keep it minimal, I recommend playing a warlock.

If you want to get a better understanding of the rules before you play, watching critical role or dimension 20 can really help.

If you don't like WotC due to the recent scandals they've been involved in (such as the OGL thing and sending the Pinkertons to someone's house) and you are serious about disrupting the economic and cultural stranglehold they have over the entire tabletop hobby, pirating D&D products is infinitely less important than exploring, discussing and platforming games and creators outside of the D&D 5e ecosystem.

The ensuing couple weeks were nothing short of a small miracle for me. In a few days I made more money from Pocket Delver (and from being a tabletop creator in general) than I had made in the previous couple years. Even the tiniest bit of attention from anyone with any platform at all can gives us a huge boost. And a lot of us don't get that because most people's attention is focused solely on D&D, even if they haven't given WotC a single dime.

For example: Kobold Press' Tales of the Valiant uses the 5e engine. Use that instead. Fuck wotc. Fuck hasbro.

Tell people you're playing Tales of the Valiant instead. It works the same. Under a different name.
