Message: <blockquote data-quote="HooliTheBird" data-source="post: 9762567" data-attributes="member: 7054060">Hey all!I’ve been looking for somewhere to go for advice and ideas as I’ve recently started my very first D&D campaign with a group of friends, but have run into burnout and issues of inexperience. My boyfriend suggested I “do it the old-fashioned way and consult a forum”, which brings me here.I have about eight players in my group right now, which is a great deal more than I initially anticipated, but nevertheless, I’m determined to give them an exceptional experience.We had our first, and so far only, session early this past July (scheduling me damned).For all my obsessive planning, it went alright. I inevitably forgot to add in some plot points and scenarios and had to fudge my way through a bit, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, which is all I could ask for.Now, I’ve had a fair bit of experience in D&D, but have never committed to DMing before, and it’s been a very daunting task.The trouble I now find myself in is mainly in regard to writing out the campaign I have in mind.I fear I may have gotten too ambitious in homebrewing my own storyline, and now I’m kind of regretting it, and a growing dislike for my idea has begun to fester.It’s hard for me to know if an idea I have is truly bad or if I’m just too stuck in my own head.Usually, I would bounce ideas off my boyfriend, as he has years of experience DMing and has a brilliant, creative mind. But unfortunately, he is a player of mine, and I’m unable to consult him.So anyways, here I am.I’m really not all too sure what advice to ask for as a baby DM, but any and all thoughts, comments, and advice are beyond welcome and appreciated.I am grateful that you took the time to read this!I hope you have a wonderful day. <3</blockquote>
