So I Finished DMing My First Campaign

It is pretty surreal. After two years I have at last finished my first DnD campaign. So funny story, I ended up being a forever DM because I was on a West March server for newbs and our DM for that day cancelled on us very last minute. I volunteered and got a one shot ready to go for our group and they actually liked it. Thus a couple months later after that server shut down I went on my own and worked out starting my own campaign.

This campaign almost died on the vine though and it had to do with players. At first we started with six players. Then I got a DM from one who said they had to drop out because of issues at home and were not in a good state to continue playing. Then a month later I got another DM from another player that they had to stop playing because their work schedule changed and they could not participate anymore. They were also on GMT+1 so it was understandable. Two sessions later another player just stopped showing up. No messages-nothing. I went an LFG on another server I am no longer part of and got another player. And then they ghosted two sessions later. I put an LFG on Roll20. We got another player. Everything is good until a month later. An argument happened between that player and the two original players on how to deal with an enemy situation. I THOUGHT we solved the problem. But next session? Gone. Gone from discord. Gone from the Roll20 lineup. I messaged the guy but nothing. I was mad. Mad enough to rant about it on the very rare times I post on Facebook. By some miracle one of my old chums from high school days messaged me and asked me if I needed players. So she and her husband joined for the rest of the 75% of the story still remaining. I'll admit I was a little nervous to be DMing for them because one of them had played since ADnD days and the other from 3rd edition. But it worked out. Occasionally I messed up a rule and they let me know. I listened because I wanted to improve.

These four chums had a habit of adopting bad guys. Like by the end of the campaign they had chosen to adopt at least seven: A cultist from a racist elf organization A wayward teen alchemist Two thieves who turned into puppets A giant ice wolf The BBEG's vessel And a djinn Like I had to make sheets for these guys and I didn't have the heart to kill them off. Thinking on my notes I know there are things I need to improve. I failed to interweave the paladin's backstory that the player decided to switch to a Druid character. I gave the rouge maybe too much screentime. I didn't give the fighter enough personal limelight (to be fair he kept switching characters). I could be a bit impatient with the bard player (they tended to sing IRL and I didn't have the heart to ask them to dial it back).

I also really don't do well with encounters. Like they could easily tear through them without much of a scratch (until the BBEG but hardly) and yes I did tweak stat blocks on the situation. I guess I do better with the RP part so I would need to let peeps know that's my skill. And there was a lot of story I actually had to cut out for time and bloat. I used to make maps for everything until the last arc where I admittedly started stealing maps off google. Most of it was because I sometimes I would just be too mentally exhausted from work to make maps on the fly. And yeah I did model a dungeon or two off some Zelda dungeons 😅. I would also reskin some Plug In/One shot adventures I had on file from time to time because work would just be too much.

I'm currently taking a break from long form campaigns but I am running a module or two this summer. I do have an idea for the next one but that's going to be way until October (or November) and one of my players wants to DM. So now it's my turn to mess with her 😈

This is going to be fun

Azreal and his sister Helena lived in Gwessar. Both were taken by a vampire coven where they were enthralled for an unknown number of years. A group of paladins infiltrated the coven and were able to subdue/kill most of the vampires but the head vampire was able to flee along with a small number of their coven-including Azreal's sister. Azreal was freed from the enthrallment but the experience has left some lasting effects as he began to exhibit some small vampiric abilities that has made the village and himself uncomfortable. He has left his town to find his sister and take revenge on the vampire that took them.

Tried out the Sonic Adventure style. Yes I copied the DJ pose from the Sonic clips but I think it works really well with Trollex

My character for DnD. A former bandit who had attempted to steal from a monastery but was caught and captured by the master. Instead of being sent to Alterheart Prison, the master offered him a chance of enlightenment. Basil became enamored by the master's collection of Herlock Scholmes books and aspired to be the character in those books. While searching for the greatest mystery to solve, the mists of Ravenloft have chosen him as their next victim. An obvious game is afoot and he must take solve this mystery.
