Thats about as far as my DM experience goes, however a few friends have been wanting to try out D&D and i decided to offer my services as DM. I went out and got the DM Manual, Monster Manual and the Princes of the Apoc campaign book.Im going to start them off with the 'Trouble in Red Larch' module, but my problem is, Its a lot of information to take in and im not yet sure how to shape it into a cohesive whole! I want them to have fun and enjoy themselves, but im worried that my inexperience will prove detrimental.Is there anyone that can offer me some help setting it up in an orderly fashion, or someone that knows where i can find a printout that lumps it together for me? or just any advice in general at this point! I have 5ish days to prep for this, so i have enough time to get it down pat, im just confused and worried!Thanks ahead of time!EDIT: I also want to ask. Do you think its worth it sitting down with them and helping them all create characters, or should i just bring some premade ones with us and let them use those and THEN if they still want to keep playing we can go through the process of making everyone new characters?</blockquote>
