Hey everyone,
I am going to be DM'ing for the 1st time ever as a couple friends of mine who have not played D&D before got interested and wated me to run them a game for them (since they know I am a player). They are really interested in it, and I want to make a good first impression, and not look unprepared, so they can enjoy the game and want to continue.
My question is mainly around what resources I should use. I have a couple tile sets, and it has been recommended that i get some graph paper, or a battle mat (currently have my eye on the plain GameMastery flip mat - 24X30).
I know the tiles would be good for a first time run (I was thining of running Keep on the Shadowfel, or something from the Dugeon Delve). But should I also invest in graph paper (assuming it all goes over well) or should I just get a battle mat? Im not really sure where i should go with this.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions, Id very much appretiate it! Thanks!
