If you're not familiar with any of my posts, I will do a quick introduction. I am new to tabletop RPGs, but have played some older video game RPGs in the past. Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy 1 & 2, Lunar, the silver story saga, etc. I am also a former Magic:the Gathering player, so the ideas and concepts (fantasy elements) found in D&D aren't totally foreign to me, and have a strong appeal. My friends have been talking about wanting to put together a D&D game, and I kind of jumped on the idea and got serious about it. I started reading this forum, and learning a bit about the history of the game, and since my friends felt that I suddenly knew more about D&D than anyone else in the group, I was asked to be the DM. To be 100% honest, I actually wanted to be the DM, so I am more than happy to accept the role.My plan is to start the group off with the starter box. Although I have yet to purchase it, I plan to get it soon, and go over everything before our first gaming session. In the meantime, I have been reading this forum, and (kind of) going over the free PDF files that WOTC provides on their web site. All of this, of course, raises a lot of questions for me. I felt rather than start a new thread for every little question I have, or hijack other threads for my questions, I would start a thread dedicated to "n00b" questions that pop up, or things I feel I would like clarification with. Looking at the forum, I see that I am not the only person starting up, and I guess that others will also have a lot of "little questions" (so-to-speak) as well, so I wanted to create a running thread that we n00bs can utilize to ask our questions without clogging up the forum with multiple threads that only have (or require) a response or two. Other forum members, I encourage you to ask your questions here as well, as I think it will serve very well as a good "quick reference" thread for the little things, or how a game flows, what powers the DM has to control the flow of the game, how to deal with random things that pop up, etc. In an attempt to keep this somewhat organized, I will begin my actual questions in the next post. I hoping that this thread will become a useful tool and resource for all of us, and thank you to the experienced players and DMs out there who take the time to share their knowledge with us. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
