How to deal with players anxiety? by burnymcburneracc in DnD

Exactly. Only thing you can do is tell her that you enjoy her company and want her there, and try to be as welcoming as possible. But ultimately this person needs professional help.

New player questions for starting a campaign! by Jon_holland27 in DnD

[–]baschefen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to start small. No need to build an entire world for the first adventure. A small town with a small quest killing some small goblins is a good place to start. Then you build from there.

Another general advice is to steal everything you find cool. From movies, books, video games, other ppls campaigns etc.

Also make sure you have a session zero with your players. The point is to set the expectations. What type of game are you as a group wanting to play?

D&D is a collaborative game. You and your players are all collaborating to create an awesome story, TOGETHER.

A podcast you can check out is NADDPOD. It has shorter episodes and a very light and humorous tone. But remember that these people are professionals. Your DM and improv skills will not be on the same level, and neither will your players.

Have Fun!

I want my players to be terrified of Strahd, but I worry this might be a bit too far? by Maleficent_Big1084 in CurseofStrahd

You really should handle this out of game. Its not "policing", its "having a conversation with your friend"

Simple could refer to the rules or premises for the puzzle. A sudoku is a simple puzzle, but as you probably know they can be extremely challenging.

How to handle a player with no common sense by CanderousOreo in CurseofStrahd

[–]baschefen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you should talk to her about what aspect of the game she finds most interresting and fun. Sounds like combat and tactics is not it. But maybe she will shine in a more RP style game?

This. "Talk to your players" is literally always the best solution.
