[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7942444, member: 6779196"] I wouldn’t recommend it to a brand new DM. It’s a great adventure but it has a lot of moving parts the the DM needs to manage, and has a very high TPK potential. On the other hand, someone recommended having your new DM just run Death House, which I think would be much more manageable, and then you could have someone else take over for the rest of the campaign. Death House is a very straightforward dungeon that should be pretty easy for a new player to run (though it is also a notorious party killer, so just make sure they’re aware of that). Storm King’s has a huge segment in the middle that’s basically just “have your players run around the sword coast for a while until they’re high enough level to do the next part” with almost no guidance. Other than that I think it would work fine for a new DM. If your group is ok with skipping some levels and narrating over the gap though, I think it could work for a new DM. [/QUOTE]
