New DM here! Running LMoP with my friends — our first full campaign.
Goblins are smarter than I expected, dice are crueler than I remember, and I’m having the time of my life.
Follow along as we descend into Phandelver & Below: The Shattered Obelisk.

I am in love with Dispatch. Such a wonderful video game. I find myself rooting for all of the characters and it generally hurts to cut someone from the team

It’s just frustrating sometimes. I really want to be a better storyteller, but it’s hard to get the practice when sessions don’t happen as often. I just miss running games and being in that creative headspace.

It’s just nice having something social outside of work.
I miss when things like bowling leagues or game nights were more common. D&D’s kinda filled that space — just a good way to unwind and connect with people.

Kinda wild how much my DM notes have improved over the past year.
Even with the usual scheduling chaos, the prep and flow feel way smoother now. Just cool to see the progress.

Our D&D group meets every Saturday, but last-minute schedule changes make it hard to keep momentum. I don’t mind skipping sometimes, just wish things stayed consistent.

Phandelver and Below paused — scheduling 5 healthcare workers is a nightmare.
Still running Drakkenheim on Saturdays, RIP college football.

That said, I just ran my first session of Dungeons of Drakkenheim and it went super smoothly. Feels great to get more time behind the “DM screen”

Been away for a bit. Starting a new job and running 2 campaigns simultaneously. I have too many notes; it feels like I’m in nursing school again.

Thinking of running quick D&D sessions at my local game store using the new starter set—open table style for whoever shows up. I mainly want more DM practice between my home sessions. Anyone ever done something similar? Tips for running with total strangers?

Successfully got through session 6 last night. The party’s still storming Tresendar Manor—Rick somehow talked his way past a monster instead of dying (growth??), the crew bluffed their way past the Redbrands, and now Rick & Kastor are both trying to win Milna’s heart. Drama in Phandalin 💀

Even while running my current D&D campaign, I’ve started building my first original world — set in the Islands of Sina Una.
It begins on the Isle of Aramas, where a family returns home to rediscover their roots and face the spirits that never left.

Tomorrow night, Tresendar Manor’s on the chopping block. Hoping the players get weird and improvise so I can sweat a little. Let’s stress-test the DM brain. 🧠⚔️ #DnD #LostMineOfPhandelver #ttrpg

Prepping Session 6 of Lost Mine of Phandelver.
Tresendar Manor is where things start feeling real!
Any advice for running Ssarnak? I want the players to feel the dread without it turning into a fight right away.

Very successful session 5. It’s such an amazing feeling when a player states how much fun they're having. Didn't get far into the Redbrand Hideout, but looking forward to the next session

Finished our 4th session last night. We started back in July, and things are getting smoother! Granted, we’re running LMoP but as a new DM and newer players, things are fleshing out. Our next session will be entering Redbrand Hideout and thoroughly excited to see how we go about this

So it's my birthday today 🥳 i heard it's valid to post some dice and kindly ask for a share? 🥰 I'm Doe, a dicemaker from Germany, I've been doing that for about four years now and it's tons of fun.

Been reading Islands of Sina Una and it’s truly making me emotional by providing me information about the people that came before me

I worked Thursday night at the hospital where they didn’t call a code white prior to the snowstorm. Got stuck on the road outside of my neighborhood and walked the rest of the way home. Returned back to work last night. Props to my 10yr old sedan.

Heading to work, where I might possibly get snowed in, and I almost convinced myself to pack my PlayStation
