Never start a D&D campaign without this!

  • So you're about to DM your first game of D&D (or maybe another fun TTRPG system)! Where do you even begin?
    Of course understanding the rules is important. But understanding your players is even more so. If you're a new DM, one of the best things you can do is kick things off with a very exciting questionnaire!

    The algorithm brought me here, been a long time GM now and I'm always looking for new RPG ideas and perspectives. This was a good vid!

    a player survey is a great idea! I just started running a new online campaign and asked similar questions as those that you suggested. it helped immensely because all the players are on the same page about what they want and what to expect. In fact, if I had to do it all over again, I would take it a step further and actually conduct video calls with each prospective player who seems like they were a good fit on paper because what could be missing is a good fit personality-wise with the rest of the party

      It definitely helps to know what people actually want in their games! I play in more combat oriented ones AND more RP intensive ones and I know people in each group that would be miserable if they were in the other game 😂 I think video calls are a great idea honestly- some things just don’t really come across until you’re really interacting with someone!

    Thank you, I’ve been playing for at least a couple years, but I’ve never DMed before,
    And now in less than a week I’m going to be running Strixhaven, so thank you!

    Thank you ! I found this helpful, even if I do rpgs for more than 20 years

      Looks like Google changed it - it should be fixed now!

      Hmm 🧐 What error is it giving you? I just tried it across several different browsers and it worked for me?
