I will be running Defiance in Phlan as a new D&D 5e DM - any advice?


5th Edition (And Beyond)


I have been really wanting to get back to DM/GMing, and I think the PbP medium is a right match, for several reasons.

I have been playing PF1e for a long time now, but as a DM I feel like I need something more self contained, and with less moving parts than PF.

Combine this with the fact D&D was my go-to RPG for many years (as DM up until 4e), and my will to give 5e a try, and my decision was made (kinda).

After some soul searching, I decided to run Defiance in Phlan - it seems simple enough to not cause too much derail (even though we know players will derail stuff :D), and a safe environment to allow me to start 'learning the 5e ropes'

That being said, and before venturing into it - any advice? :D

I'm not familiar with this module, but 5e is such a delight to run, I doubt you'll encounter any major problems. I hope the game goes well and their are many more to come. :)

How did it go? I like the whole first season of Adventurers League, and wish I could play through the whole series again with a new character!

Anyway, bravo!
