I hope not. I was gonna try and get some of these.

Blatant ripoff of something the others are unlikely to recognize. Anything written before 90's that did not have movie version made is usually safe bet.

Step back, and go play/watch/read/listen to something not entirely or directly related to Mage for a bit. Sometimes finding something from a completely different tone and setting can be what you need to figure out a cool idea for a character and play around with it. One of my best D&D characters came about as the result of me watching a lets play of Yakuza 4 and trying to justify how kobolds could get yakuza tattoos.

Mainly though don't try and rush it. The ideas will come, just try and be ready when they do.

I think of an interesting or fun gimmick and build a character around it.
Examples:
Yaun ti druid so obsessed with snakes he refuses to be anything else
Hillbilly dwarf who makes illegal moonshine
Monk with less than 4 limbs, master of partial arts
A character who only uses whips and is domineering
Fish man warlock who worships the giant turtle who holds up the world. His end goal was to kill those glory stealing elephants.
Etc.

Don't separate the players, keep them all involved all the time.

Decide what kind of DM you want to be.
If the players don't take the main entrance to the catacombs, but rather buy pickaxes and start digging above the last room, will you let them do it and ruin their own fun by skipping the nice things you prepared?
Or will you conjure up some bullshit "it's made of an unknown magical stone that can't be broken with tools"?

Pick one.

>D&D
>Low fantasy

Lol good luck as this doesn't work. Everything is entrenched in magic and magic like effects.

It's a high fantasy , high magic game and you have to do brutal things to the system to change that.

And honestly most players don't want to play in your gritty , low fantasy, low magic game. After all isn't that just a way to inflate your ego and make them feel weak?

If you're a new GM.id reccomend you just run a module like the starter set lost mines of Phandelver module so you can actually work out how the game works.

After that if you're set on a campaign ask the players what they want and construct something from that as at the end of the day your role to make sure the players have fun.

All of the questions are ranged on a scale

1) Role Playing --- Mix --- Roll Playing (Roll-Playing would involve more combat and mechanical resolution , roleplaying would have more of a focus on narrative and non-combat situations a mix would be a mix of both.
2) High --- Mid --- Low Fantasy (Think high as Narnia, where animals talk and everything is exotic, mid more like classic Swords and Sorcery, and low being more like Robin Hood or King Arthur)
3) High --- Mid --- Low Magic (High would make magic much more commonplace , mid would make it uncommon but still available to priestly orders , mage schools etc, low would make it a real rarity , with most people fearing and not understanding it and magic users treated with distrust.
4) High --- Mid --- Low Power (High would mean you'd receive more gold, items and magic items, mid would be a regular distribution, low would make them very rare.
5) Dark --- Average --- Light Tone and Mood Dark = "Night of the Living Dead" or Serial Killers in the Town, average is a middle ground , light is more rescue the child from the Ogres, who have not killed or molested it")
6) G --- PG --- R Rated descriptions and content

The other two sound like annoying as fuck retards, once is maybe ok, but I just don't deal well with mentally handicapped loud people in general

Inb4 no fun allowed
I also hate Ork players who shout WAAAAAGH

>>54285775

Also
>refuse to stop because it's no big deal according to them

Means that they where kindly asked to stop their retard behavior but won't because they find it hilarious to be retards

If Paul put up with that for this long, you owe it to him to kick those two idiots. Bonus points if you fiat-kill their characters first, then tell them they are banned

Poker's boring, all everyone does at tournament levels these days is run the same 52 card burn deck - nothing but sets of Sp/Cu/Di/Hr 4-of-a-kinds

A God of Fire and technology, with fire being symbolic of mankind's first steps into bending the environment to their will.
