There's ton of stuff in d and d.  Just because your first adventure will have pixies does not mean buy the pixie handbook from mongoose.  All that reading will hamper the basics you need to understand. - Watch your DM and don't be afraid to ask questions after game.  We DMs love indcuting a newbie.  The DMs in my group ask me questions after game all the time and I have no problem telling them the crs of dead monsters, how I thought of differernt tactics and rehashing known things about the plot.- Making a world is nice and easy, but I wouldn't recommend it to a brand new DM, not until you run a few out of the box adventures first.  Going to Wotc's website or picking up an issue or two of Dungeon Magazine can work.  Its just a lot of questions can come up and design is needed for a world (even if you start one city at a time) and when you first start dm'n you want to concentrate on learning the technique.  - Know your players and pick players whom you get along with and can play your style.  Theres no wrong style but there is your style.  - Have fun</blockquote>
