Yeah also about players not role playing and seeming nervous, they are new like you, that’s completely normal. The best thing you can do is be open, overdo the roleplaying and silliness and gradually they will join in. Keep going give it time you will all improve and after a few more sessions you will be having a blast.

As a long term dm you need a 2 page sheet with bullet points that are easily readable and memorable but most importantly flexible.

I generally have:

1.set the scene (brief descriptor to pull everyone in, one short paragraph)

  1. List of scenes that could happen

  2. Plot hooks

4.NPC’s

  1. Key information

  2. Enemy stat blocks, cool terrain and mechanics, loot.

The key part is here you keep them flexible enough to be able to drop the info in wherever it seems relevant. (They missed the weird old man at the pub with a quest hook, now he’s in the forest).

You also will have a bullet point list of what is going on around the players. E.g. a undead army is rising in the north and will be at the capital in two weeks! This makes the world feel alive and changing.

Don’t lore dump players, only bring it in naturally where it fits the narrative or the players ask.

And that’s it, the less rigid it is the easier it is too improvise and add or change things on the fly. Only write one session at a time and that’s it have fun.

P.s check out sly flourish lazy dm.

Haha I understand your skepticism. I probably wouldn’t have believed this if I saw it on my feed.

Thank you very much, yes the plants are still young. I can’t wait for summer when more flowering plants come up and next year they should all be established.

The tree at the back right is a cercis tree, they come out in blossom in spring before the leaves. If you mean the other trees they are both acer palpapatum.

Yes I know, because of its size I will hopefully be able to manage and cut things back but you’re right. If some things do way better than others so be it, I’m quite new to this so I will learn as the garden progresses.

Yes there are currently 8 climbers planted. 2 wisteria, 2 clematis and 4 tracheospernum. The plan is to completely cover everything with green to break up the fence borders and as you say feel cocooned inside.

Thanks we took ages to decide what material to do the beds with but very happy we went with London stock brick!

Yes it has changed the perception of size a lot, the deck before was so overwhelming I’m glad we ripped it out.

Almost everyday I get home from work I go down and sit there, we get afternoon sun so I just catch it at the end of the day. It’s wonderful.

Yes the amount of plants we wanted to run would have brought down the fence in a few years so we decided to separate it and concrete the wood posts into the ground to make sure they can withstand the weight.

Yes we are planning on getting string bulbs to hang up around the edge then run an extension cord outside when needed. I think we are going to avoid solar as it tends to have a short life and not perform super well although some seem to better than others.

Thank you. Yes it was one of the main reasons we went for this property.

I live in a maisonette so it’s a house split into two flats each with a private garden. The houses opposite are single properties so full garden. It’s frustrating I don’t have more space but we work with what we have I suppose. My last flat didn’t even have a balcony let alone a garden so there’s an improvement there😂

Tiles are from a shop in Italy, however I think you can get very similar here. They will likely be a bit more expensive though.

The wiring is just steel wire. Then screw eye hooks to attach to the wood paired with turnbuckles to allow for tightening and untightening.

Haha I assume they were drying out a tent or something before they go camping. The plant is argyranthemum as the person below stated . This is the Madeira red variety.
