running my first D&D game ✸ how it went & lessons learned

hello cinnamon bun

join me for a D&D debrief on how my first time GMing went!

we're talking all about my Monster of the Week one-shot game: The Harlow Hunt.

first, i introduce our player characters (the Harlow family) and reveal how the story unfolded. it got a little wild at points! 😂

then, i answer some of your questions about GMing including:

is it difficult to run a game?
what was your process to prep for the session?
what are the pros and cons of such an interactive mode of story telling vs more traditional methods such as novel writing?
did your players ever take the game in a direction you were completely unprepared for?

if you've been thinking about GMing your own D&D game, i hope this video might inspire you to give it a go.
