So, I have been approached by several people to create a Server on Discord to teach D&D and the associated bots for the App.
While the server would be redundant it would actually focus on those players who may be Neuro Divergent, having some sort of Autism.
I am sure many of you are asking, "So, what would be different?" In general not much, but with ND folks expectation management is key so yes lots of over-explaining (We, yes I am on the spectrum myself, tend to be pedantic) and very Explicit Table Rules concerning Role Play and Game Mechanics.
Having said that, and looking around at all the 5e Settings, Faerun, Acq Inc, Crit Roll, Ravnica, Gray Hawk (people do actually still play that one), Dragon Lance, Eberron... and probably one or two I forgot to mention, I feel that a relatively unknown setting to today's generation of player is needed. No Offense to Blackmoor because I find the setting has so much depth and lore.
Its the Lore of Blackmoor and the relative ease to restrict both classes and races based on that lore that I find attractive for a teaching environment.
With that, I have both the 2e and 4e source info and am very thankful for finding this forum. But are there other sites that I am missing?
Right now I plan on establishing a Literary server with OOC, and RP channels for the party and will use threads to conduct combat. Avrae will be used for rolling etc... I still need to find a smart person in Avrae. Anyway, as I said I am looking for lore to fully develop the setting on the server before opening it. Parallel to that I plan on creating a main plot to conduct a campaign, as I believe DnD is best played within the campaign context. While so-called West March or one-shots are good for mechanical learning of the game.
Open to suggestions. Thank you.
