Is it bad that I am making a story as a first time GM?
Soo hello their, I am about to GM my very first campaign and ill be using fate as a system well very very home brewed fate atleast to fit the world I have made but well that is not the problem, the problem lies with a friend of mine who is also doing a fate campaign which is for now my one and only experience with ttrpg's and well for this reason I listen to his advice and stuff and one thing he is constantly being mad over is that I am according to him trying to "railroad the campaign" by that he means that I am trying to force him and everyone else to do smth without leaving them with a choice by planing and preparing for stuff and I was wondring that if its bad for me to prepare for a campaign or well just free style it like how my friend does it in his campaign without doing any prep after all he does say that both the GM and the players make the story and well planning takes away that freedom from the players...
Ig for more detail I plan on dividing the campaign into chapters with each chapters following a quest which eventually leads to all of coming together for the final chapter.
Well this has deleyed my sesh 0 for a long time cause I just dont know how to proceed cause I can most def free style but it just that I cant just sit around without thinking of what should happen next and stuff and while even tho I will think about this, I dont wont to force my players into one path soo well I like to make multiple stories that will be ongoing at the same time and if the players divert they will be go into that story for that perticular chapter and welll this would in the end detect how the final chapter and stuff goes...
well I am sure I am in the wrong after all I dont know that much and well I dont even think my campaign will be that good like for godsake it got cards as a mechanic for doing combos along side fight and stuff but ohh well I just thought that ill hear the thoughts of people who are more exp then me (even tho yall ill prob agree with him)....
