The story about Jeremy, the goblin lich who just wants to 'make' some friends and takes place entirely in one village and the forest nearby is absolutely as delightful as a kingdom spanning epic of political intrigue and backstabbing!
The first sounds really nice. I want to play that now. My character will be the village granny. She knits little protection doilies.
@RebekahWSD i like the idea of granny going on a adventure and overcome obstacles with granny behaviour, like feeding the enemy and be just a wholesome charakter. she slaps the bbegs ass with kindness and cookies
granny knows exactly what is going on, and has attained vast magical power specifically so she can lecture the villain and redeem them, recognizing that her doing it will be uniquely effective and appealing to the world.

Newbie campaigns are so fun. For me it feels like a slightly more challenging episode of Dora the Explorer. "The party enters the broken central chamber of the ruin. Meters above, the ruined dome gives little reassurance of its stability. Aligned with the center, and strangely cleared of debris, an obelisk stands alone. Its base marked with an empty receptacle in a diamond shape. The familiar shape yearning for the party's advance."
In my head: The McGuffin they just picked up five minutes ago was literally described as a diamond, this should only take 25-30 minutes.
Trying to gauge how long something will take your party is an impossible task. I had 90% of the first session of a new campaign get eaten up by an unlocked door with no handle that was just needed to be pushed somewhat firmly. They ended up building a makeshift handle out of debris and accidentally opened the door while trying to hammer it in. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when they realized that they had never even tried pushing it.
Oh I only GM for my friends, any session I've held online with randos gets mad disrespected. Plenty of friends to indoctrinate into ttrpgs.
Lol. That was a game with friends.
My friends are too hot headed to sit at a door, and my brother plays and he is a GM too. So luckily someone is there to tug things along if they start arguing which skull needs a bashing first.
I'm not an experienced DM, but am experienced player. Just started DMing a campaign for a group of new/relatively new players and it's incredible. They're having a blast and getting so into it. I've only DM'd a few times before, so this is my first time running a full campaign. A couple know just enough to help the others with basic gameplay and I help with mechanics and stuff if need be. They're not problematic at all and actually have a very good party dynamic going. Can't wait to see how they progress.
