[QUOTE="MonkeyDragon, post: 2845098, member: 23929"] Woman DM chiming in! DMing is like (name of obscure regional card game here. In Michigan, it's Euchre). Easy to do, hard to do well. But take heart! For as long as you're willing to put a lot of work into it, you will improve. I do recommend finding someone to teach you, both about gaming in general and DMing. In fact, you may be able to utilize your friend that isn't playing with you anymore. It's very nice to have someone to go to about rules questions and plot questions that isn't actually in your game. Keep it simple. For your first game, pick something easy. My first game was a disaster, but I think the plot was a pretty good one for my DMing debut. Wizard hires party to collect a set of five gemstone eggs that are scattered about the land. Each one was in a different type of place. The first in a dungeon, the second in the mountain stronghold of a rival wizard, the third in the wilderness, the fourth in a dungeon that was mostly traps, and the fifth somewhere else I can't remember. The point is that each retrieval was very simple and straightforward. Definitely let us know where you are! I betcha that pretty much wherever you live, there's SOMEONE nearby that would love to help out. [/QUOTE]
