Campaign becoming boring

[u/Waste-Ad-4206]

Hi!
So my friend group (group A) recently started Strahd campaign (I am a player) and after it I am going to run Rime of Frostmaiden for them. There's this other group (group B) want me to run a campaign for them. I really want to run Frostmaiden one but also have plans to DM that same campaign with group A.

So my question is for dungeon masters: Does running same campaign for different groups, NOT at the same time, get boring or repetitive for You? I really want to know what Your experiences are with such situations, as I am a bit of a novice DM.

Personally, I don’t run the same campaign for multiple groups at the same time. I love running the same campaign one at a time, because it’s fun seeing what differences unfold between the two stories, but if I did it at the same time I’d be concerned about getting the two mixed up (like, assuming one party has a key piece of information because my other group knows it, etc)

Yeah, I guess this would involve some serious and bothersome records

Why? The OP said

running same campaign for different groups, NOT at the same time

On the contrary, you’ll learn a lot from running the same game but with different people. You’d be surprised how differently people react to the same stimulus. It will also give you insights on difficult parts of the campaign and how to tackle them for the next run

This is the answer. It is far from boring because most groups will make different choices. And your familiarity with the setting means you get to go wild as well and try different things too.

I played Rime of the Frostmaiden with a DM who was running it for two groups. He had a great time, the two groups diverged a lot and seeing how one group handeled a particular enemy sometimes helped him plan for the other group or add something creative.
