[QUOTE="Rabbitbait, post: 6818874, member: 60100"] Don't panic! Think about what you would like to happen and make it up. You don't even have to prepare, making it up on the spot is fine - although I like to have a couple of bullet points written down as reminders. Also - the players may end up doing something totally unexpected. Just roll with it and let it go to it's logical conclusion. You may end up inventing stuff that is not in the book but that is fine. Just remember, the game is yours, the book is a list of handy suggestions for what could happen. Also - don't panic if you stuff up. Your players will understand that this is your first time DMing. Feel free to stop the game early if you don't feel confident continuing and tell the group that you feel you need to do some prep for the next bit. Ask the group to help you look up rules or make adjudications (if you want) but the final decision is always yours. PoTA is a tricky one for first DM so be gentle on yourself. [/QUOTE]
