My friends haven't played D&D 3.5 (or any D&D for that matter) and I am DMing a little campaign to the 5th level. I am running a variation of the Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde. It's the same world and towns and backstory. This is my first time DMing, however I have played up to the 8th level in other campaigns. I was wondering on ways to make the campaign a little more fun. They aren't serious gamers and the closest thing I have to an experienced player is people who have played Fallout 3. I want to slowly make things more D&D esque but at the begining I want to make it lighter on the rules and what not. Though, this leads to difficulties, should I have traps (and have them learn the hard way about D&D)? Should my Challenge ratings for enemies be easier? I don't think the spellcaster will be experienced in anything so I am kinda on counting him acting as a sorcerer who fights. Should I throw in magic weapons (to add more excitement to the game)? I have a lot of questions and I am willing to accept any help I can get. Thanks
