      Two experienced players, two newcomers, my first tame with the game. It went fine, everyone seemed to have fun. I opted on throwing the players into a more action opening, I was amazed how their own rolls filled in the time to make situation take half of a session and built the tension and pressure by themselves. Did downtime activities, including two starting long term projects, and later threw in some plot hooks. Next session we will begin on selecting next score. We would have done that this time, but my Internet crashed.

        That sounds great! Let us know how the next ones goes if you feel like it.

    Full score or just the start? I’m running beamsaber right now, and I feel like I’m building the plane as we are flying, it’s a bit harrowing. I don’t yet feel like I’m quick enough on my feet to work out everything as we go, and I’m not sure I’m supposed to, really.

      I started with an action opening, so like a semi-full score, but it went well. Then we did downtime and next plot hooks. Honestly, I see why you could find it stressful, it relies on improvising a lot, but it’s also somehow less stressful for me compared to knowing I have prep work to do before my d&d game. I can actually see myself running two campaigns if one is Blades and other is something more prep-heavy like d&d. I’ll if I have the same opinion after few more sessions. I hope I do.

    Congrats. First sessions are rough. I’m a fairly inexperienced DM myself myself and I remember my campaign’s first session

    Congratulations on branching out!

    I think we need more variety in the TTRPG space. I don’t like the idea of D&D being a near-monopoly.

    Nice! I started my first ever campaign as a DM a couple days ago and ran the second session last night. It’s a great feeling watching all your hard work come together.

    That’s awesome. I ran one online one-shot and while it was using an unfamiliar VTT, I had fun.
