#dnd tip for new DMs: Before your first game, as you talk to your players about their characters, let their comments guide your prep. If they focus on their characters' backstories, turn up the "story" dial on the campaign. If they talk more about builds, turn up the "game" dial.

Session zeroes to set game/tone expectations are super important! Yes indeed. Whether they are formal sessions, or group emails, that communication is key to making sure everyone is getting what they want out of the game and the campaign.
