After my group finishes Ghosts of Saltmarsh in a few sessions, I will be DMing my first legit campaign and the rest of the group decided on WD: Dragon Heist. I have Dmed one beginner campaign for some of my wife's family, but it was mostly theater of the mind and messing around without much weight on strict rules. It also was fairly linear, because I was worried I'd mess something up by deviating too much from the story.

Anybody have tips on how to keep the game going smoothly without accidentally railroading? I have tweaked a few parts of the module to fit the groups play style and I think I have things set up to be a fun world, I am just worried about improvising if(when) the party undoubtedly tries some silly hoodrat nonsense.

hey I'm also running WDH very soon. I think just reading up lore and familiarizing yourself with the government will help you understand the resources at hand to prevent the hoodlums from ruining their own life

That makes a lot of sense. I fully expect the city watch to play a big role haha. Good luck running yours, bud!
