After finding that playing with new people was pretty overwhelming because of the massive amount of books and rules required, I distilled all the important/fun information down into a single printable document that should contain everything you need to play a fast-paced, fun-optimized version of the game.

Feedback appreciated!

I enjoyed this! I'd personally move the DM section to the top, and put the bit about pre-made quests earlier too and that was the question I had in my mind when I started reading, but it wasn't answered until the end of the document.

Also, are there groups where you can play online, or find people to play with online?

r/lfg is a good resource for finding a game

Critical Role is an amazing game streamed by a group of close friends who happen to be top voice actors. It's one of the best possible demonstrations of what D+D can be (I recommend ep 38 as a good kick off point). The Critical Role fandom is also a good place to find a game.

Thank you so much for doing this, it's great! Especially the pre-made character sheets!
