[@SgtEasy] GMing at first is trial and error, if it does end up dying don’t get discouraged by it. Figure out what happened and learn from that, like the others have said don’t let the RP get derailed by others, but b flexible enough and work with others if they have an idea or a story arc for their characters.

Also when making an interest check try and make it eye catching to them. Also either talk with other members of the RP OOCly random chatter or about the RP in general gets friendships in an RP which helps or make a chatzy or discord server as well.

And lastly write down all of your RP ideas on some paper or phone helps it in writing rather then having it all jumbled in your head.
