3 days agoStarting with a module or a dungeon crawl is easiest. Way nicer to have some guide rails in place when starting out. The impetus for me was just that no one else was going to do it and I felt it was better to jump in as a new game master and wing it rather than not play at all. Five or so years later after not playing for a few decades: here we are.
One of the best bits of advice I’ve gotten on running games is just to steal ideas. Can be anything as simple from the plot of a movie that you re-skin or a kids puzzle that you put new names on and have the players solve. Beyond that: listen to the players and just let them fill in bits of plot with their theories.
