How to Prepare Lost Mine Of Phandelver - Dungeon Master Guide

I've been checking Lost Mine of Phandelver guides but I like this one the best so far. This should pop up in the first videos when new dms search for it!

This is THE video you need to start out as a DM. Seriously, don't DM LMoP without watching this series.

I'm about to DM for the first time in, like, 15 years (since 3.5 y'all!). This has been a very helpful refresher for me. Thanks so much!

Dude thank you for your well spoken, and fleshed out explanations and guidance. I cant wait to DM this! Also I was adamant about no starting tavern scene and having them get to know each other in the back of the wagon on the way there, but now I am heavily considering this tavern approach so they can get to know the main NPC characters. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. You've been a lifesaver. I'm starting my D&D journey soon after only watching streamed campaigns with no actual player experience, and I'm being thrown in as DM. This is such an incredible and useful resource. Thank you thank you thank you.

This is a very good comprehensive guide and as a first time dm (loooooongtime player) this makes me very excited for session one

You have saved me!! My cousins and I are just starting to get into D&D and they volunteered me as the DM for our very first session. I was so nervous because of the amount of prep work I would have to do but your video has eased my concerns. Very excited to go through this series and create a great game for my cousins and I to enjoy. Thank you so much for your wisdom! You are awesome!

Tysm. I am dming for the first time... With new and experienced players. So this helped a lot.

this is the best guide ever i am a board game player i've got saboteur coup as well as the extension to it daimant escape the dark castle but dnd is the only one i could'nt figure out

This page is great! Last time I DMd a true D&D was way back in AD&D 2nd edition! But I am going to ramp up this 5e adventure with a few people. You really break it down simply, much appreciated, and Phandelver seems like such a cool way to start.

This video just popped up on my feed because I've been watching so many videos on learning to DM and running the Lost Mine of Phandelver. I just wanted to say 'thank you' for putting this together! Your production and editing are great, you speak well, and you give great advice! Definitely earned yourself a subscriber. I really like the idea of starting off the adventure in the tavern. I was thinking about that myself as I've been reading through the module. It just seems like it would be the most organic way of getting my future players invested in the adventure. The only thing I worry about is that if I start them off in a tavern in Neverwinter, that maybe they'll not take the hook and want to just run off and try something else. But, I figure I can get them to take the hook. Looking forward to watching more of your content! Keep it up!

very helpful video man, first time dm here going to run this in about 2 hours. watched the first two videos in preparation. thanks a ton

Running LMOP has been my first experience playing D&D, and it's been a blast thus far thanks in large part to this series and this entire channel. Without your help with these guides, I honestly don't think I would have had enough confidence to even try DMing. But thanks to you, there are now four more D&D players in another little corner of the world. Thank you so much for what you do here!

Easy to understand way of helping us new DM's. This is great!

Just gotta say I’m starting this campaign this Thursday and I keep rewatching your videos and this playlist in preparation. This will be my first time DM’ing and after all my scouring of the internet your videos are by far some of if not the best and most helpful ones I’ve come across so thank you!!

Absolutely amazing video man, as a first time DM this had so much info and tips in it. Definitely gonna be using them!

Very cool video, I will be hosting this as a new DM with new player in a few weeks, I received both starter sets and this one seems more fun for new people, will be watching the whole series! Thank you!

Thanks so much for your suggestions! My characters are heading back to the city after their first adventure (peril in pinebrook) and are planning to catch a ride on a cart back. I'm going too have them catch a ride with Gundren and Sildar as they are going to the city to stock up on supplies. Maybe even have a combat encounter on the way to get the friendship going. 😊

Subscribed and thumbs up, running this tonight for brand new players, I have a tonne of GM experience, but wanted a quick run down on the essentials of LMoP, as I was going to homebrew it, but this vid is so good, will now run this from the book with your suggestions incorporated as well as my own input of course! Thank-you for taking the time/effort to save me a lot of extra effort!

Thanks for the video. Very helpful prep work ideas.
