New DM: A couple of questions about my campaign
Post Body

Sorry as the title says I’m new to DMing and hoping some of you more experienced. People can give me a little bit of advice. The context I’m about to run a short campaign for my brother and two of his friends, all three of them can find making decisions, overwhelming, particularly when faced with a multitude of options. there are reasons why, but I’d rather not go into that year. My questions are 1st to try and limit the likelihood of choice paralysis. I’m thinking of reducing both the number of races and classes they will have to choose from, and I know I could just give them premade characters, however, I believe it will help their role-play if they’re more involved in the character creation process, would it be too restrictive to have 4 races and six classes for them to choose from for example? Second question, kind of relates to the first, a sandbox style game isn’t something I think suits this group, but I still want them to have choices which feel like they matter. I was thinking of presenting them with three quest options at a time, letting them choose Which ones they want to take on, but I’m just concerned that might be too linear?
