As someone who starts at the index of every MM (should be the front tbh or sorted by CR) I feel this.

Also I spent a lot of time worrying that the players weren't interested in role play, but I created an NPC, a roadwarden (shout out @moralanxiety.bsky.social) that met them and they engaged right away and I felt that beautiful immersion feeling the rest of the session.

I love the spontaneous nature of tabletop, but I need to get better at creating stat blocks/encounters on the fly. I struggle with creating encounters that I feel will engage and challenge the players. I do alright but a lot of what I'm doing now feels too much like guessing. I need process.

I spent like 3 hours yesterday (while watching my Patriots lose a great football game) creating a dungeon flavored to mimic the movie Die Hard and the session didn't even get close to learning about it, we went on a freewheeling trip fighting monsters in the grasslands south of Greyhawk.

I feel like getting the video of this was the most important thing to the admin.

I'm not a penny guy but I work in grocery and the government surprisingly provided 0 information on how the transition is going to go. Very helpful and normal when the bank can't even tell you when they stop being able to order pennies, and we can tell customers what's going to change

Thank the heavens I had done a little preparation for some opening adventures, so I had some story hooks to offer. Prep this week will amount to digitizing the notes on characters, making a session loflg, and planning some story hooks for their individual characters. So much fun!

Also I delivered the bad news: I am getting rid of flanking advantage in lieu of a +2 to attacks, no more conga! 😝

But we have session 0 for the new campaign this sunday! I still don't know much about my players' new characters but I am doing some planning tonight on the starting town and placing seeds for the first few adventures. Hopefully we will be able to fit them into the world nicely. #dnd #ttrpg
