It's my very first campaign. I'm actually afraid the combat and encounters are going to be laughably easy, since I'm running a premade campaign made for beginners and I don't feel comfortable yet tweaking with monster stats.
There’s nothing wrong with easy, even no-combat fluff campaigns.
My players prefer a mix of challenging one shots (that don’t kill characters they’re attached to,) and easier, longer campaigns.
I mostly set up homebrews for the campaigns- I like the world building. The current campaign uses the Stardrifter rule set, and the galactic domination has gotten far enough along they have plenty of in-world one shots. That help affect the overall story arc.
The best advice i can give is two things: have fun, and make sure everyone else is having fun too. Also, contrary to popular belief… one can have too many printed terrain tiles.
Did you say...
Printed terrain tiles?
I'm honestly so thankful the printer only decided to die after I got the terrain project finished. It would've killed all the motivation I had to getting a game started.
Thanks for the advice. My players are all well aware that I'm a baby DM and they fully expect it to be a rough, choppy campaign that's harder for me than it is for them. But if we all have fun, the next campaign will be better, and so will the next.
Those look great!
I suck at the painting part so they never quite look right for me.
Thanks! The painting is much easier than you might think. The models I printed have indents for the brick mortar (don't know if that's the right word), so I spray painted everything black, then used a sponge brush to quickly paint the bricks gray while leaving the black lines. Used a small brush to paint some of the bricks brown, a napkin to dab some green over everything, then a basic wash layer (tiny drop of brown/ black paint in a bunch of water) to finish it off.
Terrain and buildings are easier to paint than minis and figurines and whatnot. I have very, very little painting experience, but things like this are easy to make look good. Keep trying if you're not happy with how yours looks, the next one will always look better than the last!
