[QUOTE="thedearhunter, post: 5139987, member: 89169"] I am a first time DM and i need a bit of advice. i know the game well, been playing since 2005 and i love 4th edition. That said, i have only been a player, though ive wanted to DM. So now, ive created my own homebrew world, with extensive world info and detail, and i'm real excited to play in it and use the organizations ive created.
