ok so i'll be running a dnd oneshot for my friends this afternoon and i'm so excited. this will technically be my second time as a dm but the first time was very spontaneous and i didn't really have much time to prepare (also i had played dnd maybe once or twice before and half the players had never played it) so this will be my first REAL dm experience. we'll meet up in about 4 hours but idk what to do until then because i've already prepared everything but also my mind is laser-focussed on this oneshot right now and idk what else i can do. i have drawn up battlemaps, i have made a dm screen for myself (painted some cardboard black and decorated it with dnd-related symbols), i have statblocks for all enemies and even the friendly npcs in case my players decide to start a fight. i have traps and encounters planned, and a big boss fight (that can be ended more quickly if the players play it smart). i have planned for as many eventualities as i could think of (though i'm sure there's something i missed, but improvising is just part of being a dm i guess). i woke up at 5:30 this morning (it's 10am in my time zone right now) and am just full of energy but there's nowhere to put it yet. help meeeeee
