Soooo… today was my first disappointing session as a dm. I’ve been dming since September and today was just not it. I’ve been feeling a bit blue and distracted all day, not like myself at all. Normally I’m the most energetic and optimistic person in the room but today was just not it. After class we met up to play dnd as usual and I just kept forgetting about little details, mechanics, and such. I felt like I screwed up after the session, and I feel awful now 😭 Normally my players are beaming with joy after our sessions but today they were pretty neutral. I mean maybe happy but not as much. Maybe I’m overthinking it but I think one of them was disappointed too. It makes me even sadder because I really REALLY try hard. I borrowed a guitar from our religion teacher and played them some shanties (because they were exploring a ship wreck and wanted to sing so I learned them, everyone turned out to love those tho) and made little figurines out of cardboard drawing everything so now I’m just extra bummed. Willl I make them that happy as they were in the beginning again? And how do you recover from such an experience?
