Getting Started and Prepping a Session

Starting your journey as a Dungeon Master can feel overwhelming, but the secret to success is often simpler than the rulebooks suggest. In this video, I break down the "one-two punch" of getting started with D&D and navigating the inevitable paradox of session prep. While I started as a "COVID bandwagoner" with a simple starter kit, I’ve learned through running multiple long-term campaigns and a school-based D&D club that the most effective prep isn't about memorizing 100 NPC names or railroading your players into a script. Instead, I advocate for a "broad and deep" approach to world-building—focusing on the "vibe," political structures, and deep lore of your setting so that you have a solid foundation for improvisation. I discuss why the Player’s Handbook is often a more vital tool than the DMG, how to use "random name lists" to look like a prep genius, and how to build a world where NPCs feel like natural extensions of the environment rather than disconnected notes. Whether you're a brand new DM looking for that first spark or an experienced lead looking to streamline your workflow, this session is about moving away from "bobalino" NPCs and toward a more immersive, collective storytelling experience. #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons #DungeonMaster #DMTips #NewDM #SessionPrep #WorldBuilding #TTRPG #GameMaster #TabletopGaming #StorytellingTips #HowToDM
