Hi folks, new here.

Hi folks, new here.

Hi folks, new here. Excited about DMing some DW with a few friends. I ran an introductory setting, which everyone loved making their characters. I then tried to use a premade encounter session to get our feet wet, but really screwed up and railroaded my players into the dungeon, even though they made an awesome attempt to avoid all combat. We are playing again this weekend, and I am hoping to retcon that snafu from last session. Any tips on how to avoid that in the future?
