The killer networking driver yes <| sep |> A party of 3 , as the others who answered your post told you , should be feasible , but I ' ll tell you what I do for my party anyways . I have exactly 2 players . God knows they ' re awesome and I wouldn ' t change them for anyone else , but there ' s just 2 of them . So I load the dice in their favor not literally ! XD . I give them inspiration whenever they deserve it they keep surprising me and entertaining me so they keep getting it . You ' ll have to award inspiration to your players considering they ' re noobs . Don ' t be stingy just because they ' re starting out , give prizes if they come up with even marginally smart ideas and good RPing . I give them Hero Points DMG p . 264 so they ' re actually a bit more powerful than what their level indicates and the d 20 is a little less swingy when it matters . And finally , well , I give them NPC allies ! It ' s still their adventure and they ' re the ones who decide where to go and what to do , the NPCs aren ' t usually very vocal unless it would make for a fun RPing experience but when you only have 2 players in a campaign for an average of 4 or 5 players you just have to lend them a hand . In Tyranny of Dragons they could rely on a human battlemaster fighter and a human engineer a very nice homebrew class , almost as detailed as them . Now I ' m about to run SKT , just like you , and I ' m readying an aasimar life cleric and a firbolg hunter ranger , which should synergize with them nicely . If you ' ve never DMd before perhaps you might want to avoid burdening yourself with extra NPCs , and you wouldn ' t be wrong . But know that you can help your party out like this , in case you ever feel like they need an extra hand . Best of luck !
