15 D&D campaign opening premises I'm considering

Should I be a DM? If so, which of these would be the most fun to play?

  1. Murder at a magic boarding school
  2. The adventurers wake up in cave full of treasure, but don't remember the past two weeks
  3. Advisors of a young princess who wishes to rule (in this one, I imagine many people to have secret goals)
  4. An isolated town has lost contact and supplies from their liege lord. The party is sent out to make contact.
  5. The rest of the town has fallen asleep. How can these adventurers save their town (or are they the ones in danger?)
  6. All of the dead are rising, can the party help the dead get their rest?
  7. A town's zoo has escaped. Can the party return all of the creatures and figure out what happened in the first place?
  8. The king requires discrete protection for his lover out of town.
  9. Two nations are newly in contact. The party is sent to discuss possible alliances and trades.
  10. A magic-y Lewis and Clark expedition.
  11. A sickness hits a town. The adventures are some of the few healthy left and they are sent to try and find a cure.
  12. Heist to steal the crown jewels from the royal family. But who hired them?
  13. A new queen fears being overthrown by her younger brother. She hires the adventurers to help quell a coup.
  14. The team enters a baking competition to win coveted jobs in the palace.
  15. The adventurers are sent by the very elderly kingdom librarian to collect and compose some special tomes.
(Prompt by me)

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
