Hello friends first time DM here who foolhardily decided to jump into world building rather than running a cookie cutter adventure.
I’m hoping some battle tested dungeon masters could throw me a couple pointers on how you introduce players to your worlds to help flesh out my pages of notes 😅
I once created a homebrew one shot for friends where I introduced their characters at separate parts of a fair. The ranger character was trying to win an archery contest. After that I had the healer help a child that fell to heal their scraped knee etc… This helped them role play a little bit and use their primary skills to get familiar with calculating rolls
