That awkward GM balance of wanting your players to have fun at your table, but also wanting them to bring up the game in their next therapy session

Today, I did prep for a D&D session that isn't for almost 2 whole weeks.
Hooray for productivity!
Less yay for the fact that now I have a whole thing to be excited about for two whole weeks and can't share with the friends I play with until then.

When the dice starts over flowing, keeping them contained can be a Herculean task!

I don't have a lot of experience with off-the-rack #DnD adventures so I'm a little bit confused about how to level up the campaigns I'm writing beyond the level 5-10 range. I get that the difficulty of the monsters will be higher but the story scope is what I'm missing. I know the stakes need to go from local to global (and then beyond). Any advice?

This went great except we're moving through the campaign a lot faster than the weeks of work I put into it. Still may be able to squeeze another two weekends out of it I think.
Just in case this would happen, I designed some side quests that can keep them busy for a while after that, and included an Arena where they can get fights on demand. That should stall them until I can figure out what to do next.

I spent the weekend making fresh copies of all my players' character sheets. I did it by hand, which was a lot of work, but I just didn't want to stare at a screen for hours doing them by PDF. These should be good for another year of games maybe? I hope?

I need to figure out yet another hook to point my party towards the dungeon I'm planning on, because they keep wandering in completely different directions than I anticipate in my planning
I'm like "ok heres the hook if they go right, the one if they go left, and the one if they go straight"
the party: *pulls out a shovel*

Session one went to like 4.5h, but we all (players and characters) both survived and had a good time.
I now feel like I've dug myself into a massive hole here... There's plot threads going all over, and I have no idea where any of them lead. This is extremely uncomfortable!

Improvising NPCs though: still a weak point 🫤

Scheduling a group remains the real BBEG, but that one-shot with two players was honestly pretty great.

Player: "Sorry guys, I can't play on the 6th. Any other Friday in January is good though."
Me: Okay, can we reschedule for the 13th then?
Everyone: *agrees*
-3 days later-
Player: "Oooooh, sorry gang. Looks like the 13th probably won't work."

Are there any good options for a blank battle map (grid or hex is fine) that can take *dry* erase markers? Bonus points if it lays flat -- actually flat -- once unfolded/unrolled. I already have a ton of great dry erase markers for other purposes, so buying a mat that can make use of them would be great.

OK, looking for some #dnd help from the #fediverse
I'm coming up on the end of my groups current #SunlessCitadel campaign.
I want to spin it out into a larger campaign with a #beholder as the BBEG.
I'm having trouble figuring out what a beholder's motivation for being a central figure would be.
I mean, it's an incredibly intelligent creature for sure, but what the hell does it want?
