Message: <blockquote data-quote="boxstop7" data-source="post: 484035" data-attributes="member: 8804">I'm currently in a 3e FR campaign with several very experienced players and a very experienced DM.  The DM has expressed disinterest and discontent with the campaign, as have some of the players, all for varying reasons.  One option is for someone else to take over the campaign, and the DM to create a character to fill the empty slot.  I'm seriously considering taking over the campaign, but I've never DMed before.  So my questions to all of you are:1) Is there anything that all of you, in your numerous collective years of experience, feel that a virgin DM should know?  2) How exactly do you DM a good session?3) Would you recommend using a module at first, just to get used to DMing?4) If the players are more experienced than myself, will that matter?5) What's the hardest/most time-consuming/disliked aspect of DMing?and finally, How did your first DMing experience turn out?I thank all of you in advance for any and all wisdom, insight and advice.  Hopefully this won't be as painful as I fear...~Box</blockquote>
