Let's meet Dan, Raging Rolls player, and wearer of many Finry's. Hi Dan 👋

How long have you been playing D&D and how did you get into it / get started?

About 2 and a half years ago is when I started playing. It came about as Nic (who plays as Flint) had been asking and asking if I wanted to play and I finally relented. We only had the PHB (Player Handbook) and no character sheets so Nic actually drew out the character sheet on a piece of paper for me, and as soon as I rolled my first d20 I was hooked.

Tell us about your favourite PC you’ve played and what made it so great.

I love all my PCs equally, but if I had to pick it’d be Finry, the little scamp, he is very similar to myself IRL which is probably why I enjoy playing as one of the many Finrys I’ve made.

[Finry is a halfling arcane trickster rogue.]

If you DM, what’s your best tip for future DM’s out there? (Or equivalent for a player)

I do both so I’ll answer both.
If you DM you don’t need to write pages and pages of notes for your session because odds are the party will go the opposite way. Just do bullet points of what you want to happen that session. Also, have fun with the NPCs, flesh them out.
As for players, there’s a few tips. Take notes, ask every NPC what their name is, and in combat don’t forget to describe your actions.
My top tip for both though is remember to have fun!

What’s one epic moment you can recall from one of your games?

Too many to choose from! Probably back in campaign 1 (available on our YouTube) when we had Claymores god trap the Puzzle Master in his own game. [Watch it here!]
