Some of us find railroading a good start, some despise it. Some say that preperation is king, some think that you shouldn't over-prepare. It is kind of confusing, I know. Maybe you can ask yourself what suits you most. You can always try out different DM-styles and see what is best for you.So you want to run a 5E game? Why not start with the 5E Starter Set and the adventure Lost Mines of Phandelver? Or you can grab a copy of Princes of the Apocalypse. This will give you a very solid framework and you won't have to worry about creating a world by yourself. But if you want to you can always add your own stories and content into the adventure.To turn your initial question upside down: What is it specifically what you want to know about DMing? Do you want us to give you tips about world building, preperation time, improvisation? Or something else?</blockquote>
