Create a Starting Village with Your Bros (Beyond the Wall)

About this episode

The episode discusses creating a starting village and player characters for a D&D campaign using a collaborative approach.

We kick off a homebrew D&D campaign with a collaborative village and PC creation procedure from Beyond the Wall. You'll see how it creates interconnected PCs who have a reason to be adventuring together right from the start and an interesting starting town that has more color than you'd get from improvisation or a random generator.
