That awkward GM balance of wanting your players to have fun at your table, but also wanting them to bring up the game in their next therapy session

Homebrew is SO FUN!
I am a huge fan of comedy campaigns and love how my players find the most creative ways to interact with the world around them!

Amazing DnD sesh last night, but of course now that there is other work to be done, I can't focus on anything but wanting to write the recap. #DMProblems #WorkJournal

Well, I thought I had a 2nd zombie, but I don't know where it went. #DMproblems

I don't have a lot of experience with off-the-rack #DnD adventures so I'm a little bit confused about how to level up the campaigns I'm writing beyond the level 5-10 range. I get that the difficulty of the monsters will be higher but the story scope is what I'm missing. I know the stakes need to go from local to global (and then beyond). Any advice?

This went great except we're moving through the campaign a lot faster than the weeks of work I put into it. Still may be able to squeeze another two weekends out of it I think.

Just in case this would happen, I designed some side quests that can keep them busy for a while after that, and included an Arena where they can get fights on demand. That should stall them until I can figure out what to do next.

I spent the weekend making fresh copies of all my players' character sheets. I did it by hand, which was a lot of work, but I just didn't want to stare at a screen for hours doing them by PDF. These should be good for another year of games maybe? I hope?

I need to figure out yet another hook to point my party towards the dungeon I'm planning on, because they keep wandering in completely different directions than I anticipate in my planning

I'm like "ok heres the hook if they go right, the one if they go left, and the one if they go straight"
the party: *pulls out a shovel*
🥴 #DMProblems

Improvising NPCs though: still a weak point 🫤

Scheduling a group remains the real BBEG, but that one-shot with two players was honestly pretty great.

Player: "Sorry guys, I can't play on the 6th. Any other Friday in January is good though."

Me: Okay, can we reschedule for the 13th then?

Everyone: *agrees*

-3 days later-

Player: "Oooooh, sorry gang. Looks like the 13th probably won't work."

Me:

Are there any good options for a blank battle map (grid or hex is fine) that can take *dry* erase markers? Bonus points if it lays flat -- actually flat -- once unfolded/unrolled. I already have a ton of great dry erase markers for other purposes, so buying a mat that can make use of them would be great.
