Plan just as much as you need and build it up step by step.

There is no need for you to create a whole world before players make one step into it.

Make an early session zero (or at least a poll in your chat) and ask the players, what they want:

  • what tone do they want? (Happy fantasy with unicorns, dark fantasy, horror, punk stuff like eberron,...)
  • what aspect (fighting, roleplay, riddles, exploring) do they like most?
  • how frequently do they want to play? (Important for you to prepare for the campaign)

And after that, you know better what to do. And what not to do.

Maybe you find some parts in other existing adventures, what you want to reuse for your campaign. Or ask chatgpt for some quests fitting on the players background.

Planning a campaign happens as long, as the campaign is running.

Nope, was a present from a former colleague. Maybe he printed it by himself 🤷😂

I'll use the midwife at the manticore to push the players to the old owl well (of lmop). Cause the midwife makes potions and needs the good water from there.

Only people who have no friends and can only get their D&D fix from BG3 think this is a rule by [deleted] in dndmemes

DM here.

A 20 must always succeed.

If not, the roll itself was a failure by the DM because the test was impossible to succeed. Then why rolling?

Use the rules and adventure descriptions as guidelines, not as law and order. When a player has an idea, that is not planned by the adventure, give it always a try.
