[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8643739, member: 42040"] Apparently the previous DM who is leaving the duties had been running them through his own campaign world. So I'll have to shift those expectations a bit - I can't take over an original setting I know nothing about. The group of players apparently have some experience since the club is a few months old already (though new ones come now and then). I don't know who is running the game other than the library director (who has never played a game), her husband who volunteers when his schedule allows it, and one other staff member who has been an assistant DM to the person who is leaving. I'm doing an organizational Zoom call next week for a bit more information and to give the staff a "crash course" about how to DM. My wife (a gamer herself) was surprised I took this task, thinking that DMing is something that is really difficult. I explained to her that I don't believe it is - at least to learn to be a novice DM. (Sure, to be an amazing DM that takes training.) The library apparently has access to a 3D printer that it uses to print the character miniatures. They also make custom maps on Inkcarnate and have them printed at a local shop. It sounds like they have been sparing no expense, but I think all that accoutrements will be intimidating for new DMs. [/QUOTE]
