leeleedee<p>Hey nerds! Im <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/DM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DM</span></a> -ing a <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/dnd5e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dnd5e</span></a> campaign for the first time. We're on session 10 and i still feel like a total noob. How do I stop feeling like I have no idea what I'm doing? </p><p>My players are super excited to come back to the table every time, but I still feel like I'm not doing enough to plan for what might happen and therefore make it coherent and interesting for them. </p><p>I dont have a lot of time to sit and plan (freelancer running my own business from home) and I try to "lazy dm", but most sessions, I feel like I am relying on lessons learned in yr 8 drama class about improv, and then having retroactively change my whole idea about what is happening in the world because I made up something daft in the moment and now that is canon for the story in my players minds.</p><p>Is this normal? Am I doing this right? </p><p>Seriously, DMs and <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/GameMaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameMaster</span></a> 's who have been doing this for years... I salute you! </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/ttrpgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ttrpgs</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/RolePlayingGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RolePlayingGames</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/DungeonsAndDragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DungeonsAndDragons</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/DungeonMaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DungeonMaster</span></a></p>
