#DnD DM tip to really mess with your players' heads:
Act as a neutral arbiter of the game's rules and setting. Don't twist wishes to screw them. Don't present them with "gotcha" scenarios designed to make them mess up.
Just be fair and reasonable. Their paranoia from past terrible DMs and all the "Evil DM" memes they've seen will have them waiting for you to spring something on them.
Then, when they finally let their guards down, just keep being fair. Nobody needs that "Evil DM" stuff.
