So i'm going to be the new DM for my group in the near future (about month) and have been reading the DM handbook. I also have help from my friend and brother (both DMs).I'm tying to make a campaign without them knowing what is, so i can't ask for help from them, so I would like your guys opinion and on the campaign I have working on.
1. the campaign will start off in a city and the players will be part of a guild. my plan is for each session there will be a quest board in the guild hall that will have a couple of different quest on it ranging from different levels. I'm doing this because the group that I play D&D with has a had time focusing on long term quests, so these will be short term quest that they can chose and change at any time. Does this sound like a good or bad idea.
2. this is a optional idea, but some of the players also have a hard time sticking to a single character idea.
so my idea was that after a mission if they did not what to play their characters anymore, they would be able to switch to another character from the guild. I want this to be only if they don't like their character anymore.
The problem with this is that I feel that they would not be dedicated to their characters and constantly switching. how can I prevent them from doing this all the time without penalizing them.
3. any tips will be nice.
