#dnd tip for new DMs: whether creating your own adventure or running a published one, start small. Give the characters a finite and achievable task that can be done in an hour or two. See how they do it. If possible, sprinkle in a hooks for the next one task. (1/2)

#dnd tip for new DMs: Let their learning of the setting and larger stories flow organically from their interest as they do tasks. Don't make them memorized all the buildings in town or the NPCs. As they do tasks, see who they want or need to talk to. (2/2)
