How to Run 5E D&D for Senior Gamers
I recently ran into a situation at the gaming table that for some reason absolutely perplexed me. It all started when I volunteered to run a game for my family, who wanted to understand what Dungeons & Dragons was all about. The catch here is simple, they are in no way what most would consider gamers, all of them were 50+ and had never touched a tabletop roleplaying game or video game prior to the experience, so I believed I had my work cut out for me. I learned some interesting things, and finally came to the realization it was no different than any other group I had run 5E D&D for in my life.

When ancient evil threatens the world from the ocean floor, when rumors of a sunken city offer the prospects of rewards untouched by man, or simply when a transport ship sinks, then its time to dive below the waves. Aquatic adventures in D&D can offer a fresh new experience for players and give the Dungeon Master an opportunity to play with some creatures and locations that tend to go untouched. So, strap on your swim cap as we dive into running an adventure underwater.
