This is both a return to forum posting and running a tabletop RPG. Haven't done either since a Pathfinder game some 4 years ago.I was looking for a few general bits of advice and one specific piece. I start running a 5e game for the first time tonight and, as mentioned, I'm a little out of practice anyway.As for the general advice I hoped a few more experienced GM's or DM's whichever you prefer could give me pointers on running a game well, I don't get complaints from my players and was selected by them as DM but I feel I could do more! Plus the 5th ruleset is so new to me I'm still getting to grips with it, especially the loss of a BAB and the simplified gear tables. Don't get me wrong I'm loving the look of it, just a bit unsure.The specific advice is from feedback I've already received from my players. We're running the Tomb of Annihilation campaign, we've dealt with the intro and character interactions although a few have asked to do minor tweaks which I've allowed since we're all learning. They've been given the incomplete map of Cthult by Syndra and been informed of the area being mostly uncharted. Two of my players have taken the Outlander background enabling them to memorise geographical locations and maps with ease, both have decided during the campaign they will chart the area and have asked what such an undertaking might pay once done. Honestly I haven't a clue! As far as payer effort goes all they'll have to do is have their character traverse the entire area which isn't particularly demanding ut from a character viewpoint the effort is not only quite substantial but having a charted map of the region could be very valuable to numerous people. What would be a fair reward for this?If the campaign goes well I may start a post in the correct area tracking their progress, I always enjoy reading those posts, it's time I gave back!Thanks for your time.</blockquote>
