An evening, from a player’s seat

You play one character in a story your DM runs. You speak or type as them, and in a fight you plan with your friends. You don’t need to know the rules first: the game explains each one the first time it matters.

1Make your character · open your DM’s link, sign in, and make who you’ll playUnfold ▾

Play a scene
Step 4 of 7
The DM sets the scene with art, sound and words. Under the story you choose how you’re speaking: Say (in character), Do (an action), or Table (to your friends, out of the story). When the DM gives you the floor, the spotlight, your mic opens if you said yes to voice; typing always works. Three keys open your own things: C your Character, J the Journal of what the party knows, and ? to Ask the Tutor a rules question.
