Would you like to take a look around?
Just in case you wanted some guidance around the site while you’re here, we’ve selected a few of our most popular posts for you to peruse.
Starting your duet
Would you like to learn more about one-on-one D&D? We’d suggest starting with D&D for Two and then How to Start Playing a Duet.
If your duet partner is a bit reticent about playing, we have a post for that too! But don’t worry! It took almost a year of Jonathan asking me to play before I finally agreed to try it out, and now it’s one of our favorite things to do together!
Tips for Players
For players, I have two primary tips: be active at the table, and know your character.
If you’re brand new to playing D&D, we have a post just for you!
And, if you need any help with your character, we talk about how to create your PC (player character), determining your character’s motivation, and have created a list of backstory questions to get you started.
Duet Adventures
There are some really cool adventures in the D&D Duet Shop that we’d love for you to check out!
Planning and Scaling a Campaign
There are a few different options for your starting point in planning a campaign arc. You might start with a location and build from there or use an NPC or other character as your arc impetus.
We also cover some first steps for planning an encounter and some considerations for having a variety of NPC-types in your game.
When you’re planning an encounter for one-on-one D&D, make sure that you’re taking action economy into account. We’ve collected a few other useful tips for scaling encounters here!
I hope that gives you somewhere to get started! Enjoy your adventures!
