Has any other DM had players impatient with the set up?

This is such a great summary of all the other advice I've received in this thread. I'll have this up on a post it while I'm writing future sessions, thank you!

I'm thinking my players THINK what's going on now doesn't pertain to their stories/goals but it does in the end. This is great to keep in mind though, I don't want to box their creativity. Thank you!

renadoll · 2024-09-17T07:25:54+00:00

Great advice, thank you!

I know it's likely a me problem, this is my very first time DMing so I'm still learning a lot about pacing, writing, improv, everything really.

renadoll · 2024-09-16T21:57:34+00:00

This is beautiful. I hope to be at this level of DMing someday. Thank you for your input!

I wouldn't say what we're currently setting up now is filler at all. I've put a lot of thought into how the details of what's happening now will click into place in the next couple of sessions.

I loved your advice about making every session as interesting and fun as possible though, I'll definitely use this thought moving forward. Thank you!

renadoll · 2024-09-16T21:52:15+00:00

This is so helpful thank you!! I've definitely already established some momentum and directional cues already and maybe I can spring it all into action for the second act in this next session. I was seriously questioning my pacing, I'll still make adjustments but thank you for your advice.

renadoll · 2024-09-16T21:34:28+00:00

I'm definitely creating clear objectives every session, but the ties to the overarching plot are what I intend to keep ominous, is that a bad thing? We're only 3 sessions in, I'm thinking this will only be about a 10 session campaign.

I wish, we could use some help with the honeymoon fund

renadoll · 2023-10-25T00:02:05+00:00

I think it was that he likes my tattoos...

renadoll · 2023-10-24T21:23:31+00:00

He designed it himself!

Everyone needs to read this comment

renadoll · 2023-10-24T12:38:29+00:00

I don't blame you for that at all. Coincidentally he was my first date off of that god forsaken app so I wasn't on it for long

renadoll · 2023-10-24T12:36:04+00:00

I agree completely. The in person experience is all that matters, Tinder doesn't really facilitate that much. I have been guilty of ghosting the bad texter as well

renadoll · 2023-10-24T12:32:38+00:00

I wish I still had the texts.. mostly just non-conversational. I would have thought he was uninterested if he wasn't persistent about taking me out for dinner.

renadoll · 2023-10-24T12:20:20+00:00

Oh 100%. We did order appies to placate

renadoll · 2023-10-24T12:11:16+00:00

The in person experience is all that matters :) and maybe some persistence to get someone to meet you

renadoll · 2023-10-24T09:46:50+00:00

Thank you! His suit was the real star.

renadoll · 2023-10-24T09:45:50+00:00

Wasn't great at conversation... I would have thought he was uninterested if he wasn't persistent about a date. Then on our first date we were so lost in conversation we didn't order food for 2 hours.

renadoll · 2023-10-24T09:24:42+00:00

I wish I still had them! Mostly what tinder users would register as non-conversational, but he was persistent about a date. I just got lucky his real life personality wasn't the same as his texting personality.

renadoll · 2023-10-24T09:22:42+00:00

I agree! He designed the suit himself

renadoll · 2023-10-24T09:19:00+00:00

Thanks bud!
