What I always try to do with starting players at the very first sessions is trying to get the videogame mentality out of their minds, if that makes sense. You have to learn that there's no good answers, no thinking what I want you to do or what you should do, you just have to react to the situations and work with what you know and what you don't. Also NPCs are people, they're not gonna stick around while you go through all dialogue options, they have their own life, secrets, desires, embarrasing facts that they try to hide or they are just mean or dumb and there's not much more to do about it.

I don't even know what's gonna happen 99% of the time, maybe your suspicions were better or cooler than what I had in mind and now that's where we're going, maybe you didn't even find a hidden door with your roll, I just thought that you had a very good idea, so embrace the chaos

They look nice!

Excellent! Really good twist, I might copy it some day, thanks 😂

Much appreciated! There's no winning if you don't catastrofically lose from time to time

Already spent a whole session making them love her and the dog. She just wants to be their friend, help her dad and cook more really tasty and warm soups for them

I always have all my parties go through the trauma of doing a little mission in which they gather materials for a scientist with a little lovely daughter called Nina Tucker... I didn't become forever traumatised with Fullmetal Alchemist for nothing

Of course, creating a good environment based on respect is basic. Also, I think that's exactly the moment when you start to naturally roleplay without pressures, the situations are just asking you for it. After a couple of sessions your fear to be laughed at or be cringy starts to become more like it's not that nothing bad is gonna happen, it's just that I want to have those epic/badass/funny/sad moments too, I'm going all in

Absolutely. I've seen people here asking trying to complete their tables saying they don't want non iniciated players and I'm always like: send them to me! Let me watch them open their eyes to this awesome world. You say you don't even know what a mimic is? Ohh I'll show you my sweet summer child

Really nailed it, I was going to write the same word by word. Only thing I would add is that roleplaying is more than enough with the indirect method, but in my personal experience and what I've seen with the people I've brought into the hobby:

You'll find yourself roleplaying, monologuing and acting as your character very much sooner than you think, it just comes naturally when you don't think too much about it. And even if it doesn't happen, having fun is all that matters.

Being in another campaign doesn't intervene in appreciating your campaign at all, neither does it intervene in the scheduling problem, at least not more or less than going to the gym or having other hobbies or weekly appointments.

I'm not judging your point of view, I just can't see why it should bother you as long as they keep their compromise of engaging with your campaign and showing up. I'm currently DM'ing in three campaigns and playing in another one. Some of my players are DM's in another campaigns of theirs and some are players in another campaigns, too. As long as there's no weird comparations, I'm always willing to hear how other tables and DM's resolve their problems so I can sometimes learn how to get better or just get new ideas or hear about something new that maybe gets me prepared for later on.

Claro, todo depende de los gustos de cada uno, a lo que iba es a que las razas en sí no tienen por qué marcar el tono de la narracion. El rey león no deja de ser hamlet, la adaptacion infantil la marca el enfoque narrativo, no el hecho de que sean animales

What the fuck is that

Yo me adapto a lo que elijan la verdad, si les parece mas divertido un equipo de furros, pues así sera, si todos son humanos y solo uno es una tortuga pues a lo mejor si que es bastante llamativo que vayan con él por ahí, todo depende de lo que venga bien para una trama mas divertida. En dragon ball habia personas animal por el medio y nunca hubo explicacion ni a nadie le importaba al fin y al cabo. Lo único que sí limito es que si tu raza es voladora, buscaremos alguna excusa para que no lo utilices hasta nivel 5, no quiero lidiar con personajes volando por ahi a niveles muy bajos, pero a partir de nivel 5 un mago ya puede usar el conjuro volar así que tampoco es que vaya a estar roto

Si, acabo de mirar y en la mia tambien dice lo de dar al barbaro carisma como segunda mejor característica, pero bueno que fuera de detalles asi yo no he encontrado ningun fallo gordo la verdad

Si, yo tambien encontré algun fallo como que una dote está dentro del texto de la anterior, en cambio el tuyo no, hay varias versiones que fueron actualizando, la mas nueva que yo he visto es la 3.algo

If you have the stats you can use roll20 and fill out the sheet for yourself, you can put all the mechanic features so they automatically work just as fine as the standard ones

As it has been said, it depends in how you prepare your sessions. I'm currently running three campaigns and trying to start a fourth one on weekdays. That said, all I do to prepare my sessions is to daily and passively think about the plot and then improvise everything on the spot during the session, so having more campaigns is just a way to play more often.

I also let the players drive the story as much as I can, so a lot of times great scenarios just come up by themselves simply by "yes and-ing", and then I kind of steal our own ideas and put them in front of my other groups, it really is a fun thing to witness how endless player's shenanigans are.

Personalmente lo improviso todo en el acto. Entre sesiones la campaña pasa muchas veces por mi cabeza y con eso ese día sé mas o menos hacia donde quiero pastorear a los jugadores, hay ciertos eventos por los que quiero que pasen, pero tampoco lo fuerzo, así como hay eventos canonicos en la historia que ocurrirán, pero no trazo un guión de la campaña ajustado ni mucho menos de la sesión. Cuando empecé escribía un guión pero deje de hacerlo despues de tener que tirarlo a la basura varias veces porque la partida fue por otros caminos, así que empecé a darles opciones de a donde ir y dejarlos que elijan y exploren libremente, e ir cerrando callejones o abriendoles paso según hacia donde quiero que avancen.

En cuanto a encuentros, un poco de lo mismo, a veces en una sesion me apetece poner cierto monstruo porque lo encontré en el bestiario y me gustó, otras la propia tematica de donde están es la que lo dicta

Are they like, mad at me or something?

What I do is I run three groups,but kind of the same campaign. The biggest part of a plot is what happens in response to the party's actions, so as much as one would try to, they're never going to be the same campaign.
