Hello there! This server’s owner asked me to announce this thread here, since they are from US. I’m not the owner of this server myself!
DMing in WoW presents unique challenges compared to other gaming groups. It can be demanding, because the medium is not specially designed for the activity. Creating a system to use, in order to balance challenges and scenarios for a party of players at various degrees of IC power level is difficult, and so is writing compelling storylines while working underneath the roof of the game’s lore.
And yet, the DM is a key element in group roleplay. It is their job to set and describe the setting, referee combat, determine the outcome of character skills, and drive challenges for their players to overcome.
I would venture to say that learning how to do all of these tasks has been a trial by fire for most of us. For example, there are no guides that I am aware of that give guidance on managing a raid group in a RP combat scenario! Whether you are managing two players or forty, it can be a lot of responsibility, but we can make it easier on ourselves.
The WoW DMing Discord is intended as a special resource to share your DM experience and discuss the many aspects of creating and managing roleplay groups. It’s a platform for all of your WoW DMing needs, including meaningful discourse, general DM questions, story and plot-writing advice, as well as all the sundry pieces and parts that go along with DMing in-game. Someone here will know something that is useful to your DMing, and if not, you might have plenty to contribute. Join and spread the word!
