If you want a one shot, another friend told me about a funny module he played with a group at a Con and ended up running in his first time DMing called "The Wild Sheep Chase" that is made by a indie group. He thought the nature of the one-shot helped ease him into not taking it too serious. Its also FREE!!! https://winghornpress.com/wp-content...p_chase_v2.pdf I haven't gotten to look too much into it in all honesty, but he recommended it a lot to me. ALSO: If you haven't found it (I'm sure you have, but sometimes I meet people who haven't heard of it), 5eTools will be your best friend while Dming https://5e.tools/ |

[QUOTE=kcgreene;17568288]I don't run a lot of pre-made modules unfortunately (I tend to make my own big stories and such and run out of my own world so I control the Lore, as there's too much D&D lore for me to memorize it all, and one guy at my table is that guy who has memorized EVERYTHING in D&D Lore), I can tell you that a friend of mind said that he found "Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus" to be relatively new player friendly... (Someone can correct me if they've DM'd it and found otherwise by all means)

I also was going to incorporate the wild sheep chase into whatever campaign I end up running. Thanks for the recommendations! |

https://dnding.com/false-hydra/ It's a homebrew monster that has multiple heads and any of them singing makes it invisible to anyone that can hear it, and anyone/ anything it eats disappears from everyone's memory. Great for a big drop or twist. Made it in my group where a character's sister had been part of the party the whole time and noone knows or remembers her, but they found her bag in the party's room one morning with a bunch of letters to her and the brother from their parents, with the player going "I don't know who that is? Why are my parents writing her? I don't have a sister!" etc That's one I had a lot of fun with as a DM, plenty of good videos on Youtube on how to run a False Hydra as well. |

I havent played in forever. I dont see myself getting back into it unless i can find a lot of free time. I really like watching this channel, Dungeon Craft, on youtube though.
this guy basically advises DMs how to find resources for cheap and how to tailor rule sets to fit preferences. He reviews a lot of new PnP RPGs. He also gives updates on industry news. I recently got back into painting miniatures used for tabletop gaming. When I was a tween I loved to do it. I was good enough to get a paying gig painting miniatures for a guy that owned a hobby shop when i was 14. I left the hobby because it was so time consuming. I got back into it because the game has changed completely. I now use paints called express colors. the paints do all the work and i can paint much much faster. the faster you go, the more forgiving the medium becomes. if you have some experience with CYMK color theory, you can get some pretty amazing results. |
