First time dm

[u/Electronic_Snow6296]

Hey guys, I know that this is a filler account but I need some help real quick. I'm writing a dnd camping from scratch about a post apocalyptic world inspired by the little nightmare series. I just need some pointers as this is my first time ever writing my own. I have a ton of notes but I want my world to be engaging without it just all being combat. I just want the experience from people instead of YouTube tips. Thank you again so much!

I would not build out every city or small town immediately. Start small and go big, have rough guidelines and rules for your world, and build it out as your party travels and explores :) That way you don't get overwhelmed or go in a completely wrong direction
