    questioning the divine

    That is a good question :) I think it depends on the rules of the setting you play in, or if the story can justify it. But lets talk the most common settings, so in for example PoL, I dont think a god can born out of faith of worshipers. That being said, its your world so go nuts :) As for the...

    First-time DM questions (new to D&D)

    Instead of the DM screen I usually have my laptop open, running Masterplan. If you have a DDI sub it makes life soo much easier as a DM, planning encounters, designing dungeons, and just keeping track of combat. Also you can easily search documents or the character/monster builder if you need...
