Meeting in a Tavern and Alternative Ways to Start a D&D Campaign

77K views • 6 years ago • 9:57 So, you're going to start your D&D campaign in a tavern? Really? REALLY? Like that's the best you can come up with? In a game like Dungeons & Dragons where the only limit is your imagination, you've decided that the most exciting way to kick off your new D&D campaign is by having the PCs meet up in a tavern? Why? WHY? LOL Actually, there are lots of good reasons to start D&D campaigns off by having the characters meet in taverns. In fact, I often do this. In this video, I take a look at why meeting in a tavern is GOOD and see if we can use those same principles to think of alternative ways to start a campaign. Because, you know, it might be more interesting for your players to NOT start in a tavern.
