Following on from the previous point, it’s important for party members to talk to each other and discuss. In every campaign, situations will arise that require players to make choices. If players are new to the game, they shouldn’t let that fact keep them from speaking up. Share ideas on how the party might distract that guard or break into that ominous tower. Does the new player’s character have a spell that’ll teleport or disguise the party? Interrupt, and let others know – new players have a lot to offer! This kind of strategizing and discussion is especially fun when players stay in character, adding to the atmosphere.
One of the biggest mistakes a lot of new GMs make is spending an entire week obsessively planning out a whole city’s worth of NPCs and encounters and lore and maps and- oh god, the paper, there is so much paper everywhere. Take a breath. There’s something you need to understand about roleplaying: nothing ever goes to plan. So much so that the one-in-a-million time where everything does go exactly as you expected it to, you’ll be so taken aback that you’ll forget what your plan even was. More and more RPG books nowadays are filled with endless randomisation tables. Character names, random encounters, loot, enemies, towns, weather… Everything is available to you at the roll of a die and the reason isn’t just for preparation. These things are designed to be used on the fly! In the moment! During the game!
Keep in mind the difficulty check, known as the DC, on rolls. This is especially important for the Dungeon Master. The DC is the number that needs to be met or exceeded to succeed whatever is being attempted. Easy actions, opening an unlocked door, for instance, have a low number usually 0-10. Medium actions a medium number 10-15, and hard actions a high number 15-20. When planning your challenges, keep those in mind. Speaking of success and failure, don’t be afraid to lean into any negative characteristics your character may possess. Whether it’s from a poor attribute (low Dexterity, Strength, for example) or because you just wanted a character that is a kleptomaniac, flaws are what create depth. They are also often what a player loves most about playing. My own character, Althea, is an optimistic Druid with horrible Charisma. She is stubborn and tries to take every problem on herself. She can’t communicate with others well, so she just doesn’t.
Here’s a subtip for free as well: your players can read the rulebook as well. RPGs aren’t a 30-minute board game you play once and move on from; you can spend your entire lives playing some campaigns. The more of your group that read and understand the rules, the easier it’s going to be to have a good time and crack on with the roleplay. Keep a bird’s-eye view of the game (and don’t plan too much) Filling a notebook full of ideas only serves to leave you and your players frustrated if things don’t go to plan – a few brief ideas jotted down beforehand is more than enough.
The vast popularity of Dungeons & Dragons shows no sign of abating anytime soon. With new sourcebooks for 5th Edition still releasing regularly, and new players constantly picking them up, the fanbase only continues to expand. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for a new gamer, eager for an epic fantasy adventure to sit down at a D&D table, only to wind up confused, frustrated, and discouraged by a game they had hoped to enjoy.
