This is an overview map for the campaign we are going through right now.
You can see the Barrier Peaks and at their base the large forest. On the forests edge you can see the village of Weed were we started.
After helping a Unicorn in destress in the forest we traveled down river to the city of Fowlers Gate, were we meet the Howard clan.
I just completed my fourth session as the dungeon master (DM) of my local groups Dungeons & Dragons campaign. We run 4 hour sessions about once a week. I must admit I was reluctant to start DM’ing even though it seemed interesting to me. I wanted to play for a while first, but it seemed I never felt I had played enough. Then when our groups DM decided to take a break they asked me. It took several weeks but I finally decided to give it a try. I was nervous but it’s just people I know so I found a module that sounded interesting and we set a time.
It went very well. I had spent some time getting ready but not overly much. Mostly the time was in reading through the complete module before the first session. I choose “The Infernal Machine Rebuild” module to run and everyone has enjoyed it so far.
I found that I just needed to jump in and run the game. It also helped that the previous DM was willing to offer suggestions as needed, in fact the group has been quit willing to be patient as I learn the ropes.
My advice is that if you want to try running a game just do it. You wont ever be “ready”.
I just printed out the board sections on a color printer and glued the four pages to a peace of poster board with a glue stick. I printed the markers out and glued them to pennies, which are just the right size and weight. I used a dime for the treasure. My friends and I have had a lot of fun playing this game.
First let me clear up any questions about the nickname “Fluffy”. It is from the Harry Potter series, the name of the three-headed dog. I’ve been known to growl when irritated.
Lastly, I’ll just say I am not known for my timely updates. 🙂
