1st-Time DM Advice.

[Ed Cha]

My advice: pay $10 and get yourself a decent adventure

I published a beginner adventure/setting called World of Whitethorn 1A: The Hamlet of Thumble that's full of DM advice and tips at the back.

Anyhow, as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." In other words, don't expect a whole lot from something that costs you nothing.

Players only really care about one thing....making their characters feel cool and special.

Sure they will appreciate a good plot....but your players will remember the time the halfling killed 5 orcs while drunk years after your twisted awesome plots.

So make sure to include places in the game for each player to shine.
