two years ago today i started running my first dnd campaign. the first few sessions were very rocky as i was new to being a DM. the maps looked like this

very linear and shaky. what even is all that? it was supposed to be a smeltery and a jewels. looks like shit. two years later my maps look like this

my players have gone from having no clue what the fuck theyre doing to actually making plans and theyre in endgame territory. the story placed the players in has developed in ways i could never have predicted and its become crazy, wild and beautiful. my players have grown to competent dnd players and ive grown to an almost competent DM. but more importantly. ive had a lot of fun over the last two years and brought a lot of fun for my players. kind of forgot what the point of this post was but im just feeling proud of how far weve come as people who play dnd.
