Question for other #DnD DM's out there - my players are planning a One-Shot for the next session (I'm not absent but I could also use a break). I'm happy for someone else to take the lead for a while because D&D is about collaboration and shared stories, but my question is this...

Good session of #DnD last night, now completed 17 sessions total! Splitting the party is always awkward but I feel like we got a good balance of action between each set, and the absent character player I think worked out OK because the lore can be done with them on their own another time and then...

So tonight's #DnD session looks to be an odd one - I planned for a lore drop about a certain character, and now that characters player is covering at our work for an emergency. I can either do things from the other players perspective and let her fill in the blanks of what happened in character...

Some late night writing thoughts.

First session back after a 3 week break for my #DnD group and after a massive battle with a legendary creature that almost killed 2 of them, and they are in the market for ARMOUR 😂 I'm going to have to cook up some cool items for them as a reward but also they're learning consequences of actions...

I'm genuinely considering changing some aspects of my career and focusing on trying to DM professionally and also get into content creation a little like @quincystavern.bsky.social but using my Warlock alter-ego from my current job. Am I mad? Am I going to be broke? Anyone have advice?

Completed the second part of the Tracking/Hunting expedition that the party undertook this week. Now, admittedly, I used this module I found because the setting coincided nicely with the Xmas One-Shot I did for them and using it gave me some time to catch back up on writing the next part for them...

Well, I guess they can't all be winners! We did the first session of the new year, and I was slightly under-prepared this time, so I resorted to using some material I thought would work well for the setting we left off in after the Christmas one-shot.

I ran my first ever Christmas-themed #Dnd pne-shot last week and we made a whole night of it - big dinner that everyone contributed towards, themed Secret Santa with the characters as inspiration for the gifts, and then a session with material that was MEANT to be 3-4 hours but of course...

As if the first emotional farewell of a character in our #DnD campaign the other night wasn't enough, to honour their memory our Group Chat has officially been renamed to The Harlow Vanguard in their honour 😢 love how well this worked out and has a lasting effect going forward now.

We got to the point in the #DnD campaign the other night where we were closing out one character arc. It had been planned with the player that his character would exit for a new character "by whatever means". He had planned that he might die as part of the resolution to his story arc but instead...

Finally got to drop a reveal in the #DnD campaign I'm running that I had been sitting on for some time last night. It didn't go 100% as expected, but what the players did was cool so I rolled with it and the mic drop moment still happened. Got a message afterwards from the relevant player saying...

So quick question for any other #DnD DMs out there - if your group suddenly call a session on an "off-week" and you have *some* material that you haven't used from the previous week, do you: A) pad out what you had before and stretch it B) panic-write the continuation of what you had before to a...

The latest session of our #DnD campaign went surprisingly well considering I was planning stuff up to the 11th hour and STILL felt under-prepared (we used about half the stuff I prepped anyway), and the introduction of our newest player went beautifully chaotically, as is befitting a Mapach who...

Tonight for our #DnD campaign, I am debuting my first ever homebrewed and hand crafted Magic Item - a specialised weapon for the Gunslinger Fighter of the group. I've had to make it pricey because of the amount of stuff it can "do" so he may have to earn it, but hopefully it helps with his accuracy!

So I ran my first ever "Halloween Special" for my #Dnd party last week, and it went really well but 2 major things happened: 1) I ran Madhouse of Tasha's Kiss module as a semi-standalone. It said 3-5 hours of play, we took 6.5 nearly 😂 2) the Boss lasted 2 rounds of combat because the Paladin...

So I forgot to update the ongoing saga of my first #DnD campaign I'm running after "the big heist" aka the first "job" the party have been asked to pull off for the company they have signed contracts with. I must stress, they have *signed* *contracts*...

Today is the day of the "big heist" in the D&D campaign I'm running, the players' first big job for the company they work for. One of my players essentially has pneumonia now, and she really wanted to do it. I'm willing to drive out and lend her my laptop if needed, THATS how dedicated a DM I am! 😂

All that being said, I'm enjoying running an actual module from materials for a change rather than stressing too much about homebrewing * Everything * For each session, so it's a nice break while I work ahead to the next part they will go on and start dropping things in for the larger plot.

Also, another first I've experienced as a DM for #dnd now (aside from my first wrangling of a chaotic, destructive group) - my first player dropout. It's nothing personal, it's just travel and commitment for this one person, but it still sucks. Had a whole story arc planned for them as well.

Been a little while since I posted about my journey into DM-ing for #dnd, and that's mainly down to a small break in proceedings due to being understaffed at work for a while, so we al had to pitch in on our regular game days. That being said, the party are now undertaking their first mission!
