so i have a question, how do you go about making magic items? how do you scale them for your campaign?

Good question! I think every DM's method is a bit different, so I'll speak on my own.

Typically I go with three things.

Is it narratively good for my game?

is it something that I personally want to make?

is it funny?

This had lead to me to making very personally tailored magic items for my players, such as a hammer passed down through a cleric's family from father to son

to a magical bannana from the shadowfell that tastes different to every one who eats it

Typically to make it 'balanced', if it does damage, you can test out a few dice rolls to see what the average of the dice roll is, and if that is an acceptable number for the party level you have. the higher the party level, the more damage the item should probably do, which means the more important the item is!

where as some things don't always have to have crazy effects. some of them can give advantages, or boost a particular stat. and those same items could have strange effects on them because of that!

like a necktie that gives you advantage on charisma checks, but permanently changes the wearers tongue silvery!

the best thing you can do is make the items and know that if it need to be tweaked, it can. players and DMs working together to make sure an item is balanced for the campaign is the strongest foundation for a good D&D group.

there have been PLETNY of times a player has come to me to recommend a tweaking in the item they were given that is at their expense (for example : a pair of claws that were too powerful, so the player suggested a lower set of damage to make it better)

Don't be afraid to fix things as you go! this is a game of imagination and make believe, there is always room for editing and tweaking! don't be afraid of mistakes!!

and best of luck building to you!

as a new DM, i'm really afraid of accidently killing one of my players, and I'm not sure what to do about it??? any advice???

Mod S: There is a few ways you could approach this. Firstly If it is combat wise, remember you are the one who can steer the creature away from someone who is already making Death Saving Throws. If the players fail an Ability Check it does not always mean instant death! Depending on the situation I firmly believe in allowing the players the time to really process and think on the situation. Because while in real life, we have a reaction speed and its almost instant, Playing at the table allows you the opportunity to really think about it. Something I've put in my campaign is bonus health based on quality of foods. Since every living thing has to eat in some manner, you can control the amount of extra HP they get based on the Inn/Tavern they are staying at! D6,D8,D10 just as an example of that. If a player's character seems like they are going to unfortunately meet their end in a escape, you can take the opportunity to skip the rolling and just paint a wonderful epic escape. You can keep the near death experiences without the fear looming. I hope this helps. -Mod S

what is a good way to start up a campaign that isn't the 'meeting in the tavern' trope? I want to do something unique but i have no clue;;;

Mod S: hmmm, well! if you do not want to use the meeting in the tavern trope, you could always have them meet mid mission! Or something go horribly awry! In which the heroes one by one or in whatever groups need to fit find one another and work together to get back on track! You could also possibly have them lost in the city/town prior to meeting at the tavern and have them be lead to a mugging! which can introduce a number of problems/characters!
