Creating a D&D Character By Hand in 2025… Am I Insane?

No apps. No D&D Beyond. No character generators. Just pure manual character creation in D&D 5e24 — and every painful, glorious, rules-driven step that comes with it. Watch along as I build a playable character 100% from scratch and explain my choices in real time.

If you want to see how D&D character building really works behind the software, this is the most detailed, methodical walkthrough you’ll find. Perfect for new players learning the system or veterans who want to understand the 2024 changes.

Grab your pencil — let’s make a hero the hard way.
