[QUOTE="Gottohneaffen, post: 5478865, member: 6671356"] I am fairly new to DMing, though not to D&D. I have played D&D since around the age of ten. But have only DMed my first time starting around 3 months ago. Since then I've DMed about 5 sessions and I am wondering if you have any particular tips for anything from the D20 System, the skills, feats, spells, balancing things, killing PCs, & tips for 3rd/3.5 editions. Possible DMing styles, what would you suggest? What can I do to be a better DM? Anything I need to know? How can I be an impressive DM to ensure enjoyment of the group? What type of adventures are best? How long should I spent reading an adventure? Should fun be over rules? My group consists of newbs, but regardless of that: I'd like to be the best DM i can be so please if you are feeling kind, may I get some tips on how to be a successful DM or what has worked for you? Also flaws or things to be aware of in 3.5/3rd edition would be useful. [/QUOTE]
