Supply Lines: Dungeons & Dragons Part 1 - Character Creation | The Mana Pool #736

Welcome to Supply Lines, a running feature here on TMP where the
dorks will be looking at resource management in games. What
games? All games, because Chewie is convinced that they're all
just different styles of resource management dressed up in genre
pants.


This is the second Supply Lines episode, after starting with
Magic: The Gathering (for obvious reasons) in episode 723. For
this one we decided to go to one of the most hardcore examples of
resource management in games, Dungeons & Dragons! Chewie has
been playing Baldur's Gate 3 and the other dorks actually play
D&D, so they've all got stuff to say. This episode focuses on
all the resources you have to manage for character creation,
which is surprisingly a lot to the point it can be absolutely
overwhelming to new players. We'll discuss every aspect of it we
can think of and cover why the limitations and restrictions are
good actually. Along the way we'll get sidetracked several times,
as is our wont.


Let us know what's your favorite part of character creation, and
yes, tell us all about your favorite character you've ever made.
Just this once we'll allow it.
