    \$\begingroup\$ How much dnd experience do they have? You said this is the DM's first world but also "In their last campaign in this world" which would suggest a period of time spent playing that is at least in the months? I ask because a level of confusion around things is expected in the early weeks but if they have any intention of improving they should be showing signs by now. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 1:03
  • \$\begingroup\$ I believe they have run 1 campaign previously, their first, in this world. I'm not sure how long it was, but they only started playing the game last year \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 1:09

    \$\begingroup\$ @3C273 we've been averaging once a month for this campaign, not sure how often they would have met for their previous/first one. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 2:03

    \$\begingroup\$ @PeterDuniho this SE seems to blur the line between rules and opinions more than others, and while there may be no explicit written rules, it seems plausible that among established players there may be unspoken rules or things taken for granted that, being new, I don't know. I've frequently seen similar highly rated questions to this one asked, where someone is asking for help addressing a particular problem precisely because there are no explicit rules anywhere \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 2:10

    \$\begingroup\$ @PeterDuniho There is no rule. But there is collective wisdom from a group of expects who should be able to support their answer with experience they have had and examples of how it worked out. This question is subjective yes and answerers should keep that in mind. It is not, however, off-topic or unsuitable for our site. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 6:45
