Having my first session as DM on Sunday, we will see how this goes.
Just stay cool, have some prep time before, and when in doubt wing it.
As āsomeā players will derail what ever you had planned.
Well I will be using the Yawning Portal so if someone is being too much of a dick I can always maguffin them.
My fav is āyou trip on a small rock, hit your head and diedā
My very first session with my current group confirmed this. The DM had detailed notes for like 8 different scenarios on how weād get out of a surrounded building, which included everything from trying to fight our way out the front and climbing through a window, to more creative solutions like setting the building on fire or blasting a hole in one of the walls. We chose the one option he hadnāt planned for, which in hindsight was a pretty obvious one.
He learned a lesson, I think.
With the āD&Dā game I going to run soon, with a heavily edited D20 Modern campaign I am seeing the list of party members form and I going to have so much fun.
I just changed who the END big real villains really are going to be, seeing the player current lineup.
it was going to be Space faring Mindflayers, but I am thinking the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse instead
Itās a heavily edited D20 Modern Urban Arcana, using mostly D&D classes instead of the D20 modern classes.
The setting, the players are all agents of the US Department of Paranormal Affairs, think one part BPRD from Hellboy, one Part Warehouse 13 (or if you prefer the SCP Foundation), with the reach of SHIELD.
We got so far our party consist of
A Human (Highlander) Samurai,
A Human Corporate Espionage Thief (Rouge adapted for modern times),
A Modern day Human Druid/Wizard with fey Blood,
A stranded Time Lord,
one player I am still waiting on to hear what he is making,
and a Human Solder/Rouge (the Phil Colson of the Group).
There first real adventure Hook after being oriented as a single team is stopping the Drow from having their own āManchurian candidateā from running as President.
So my Horsemen are later going to be
War: a Highlander style Immortal whose badassery got recorded as the literal Original Horsemen of War.
Pestilence: a Blighter (a Corrupt Druid that for completely the opposite of a Druid should be) down to Captain Planet levels of Pollution (Sheās literally toxic to the environment, grass just dies under her feet, she also radioactive)
Famine: A Lich Time Lord
Death: Undecided, possibility going with a Half Red Dragon Drow
Apocalypse: I am thinking maybe En Sabah Nur, Apocalypse from Marvel Comics.
That been sold for years, it just didnāt have D&D Wizards of the Coast branding on it
Wait what???
They are finally crossing D&D with M:TG

The D&D and MTG crossover makes sense. i bought the shadow over innistrad gigantic book, and it provided a gigantic backstory plus sick artwork. it was almost like a campaign setting, just minus the NPC and monster stats, i loved it
