Welcome to the "club", sniffles! By running a game, you are doing a great service to the RPG community.

Congratulations Sniffles! Running games opens up a whole new view of RPGs. Plus you will rarely be without a game if you are willing to run them. Enjoy the GM'ing!

Congratulations Sniffles!

Welcome to the thing you will love and hate the most

. Depending upon the day. And the players. And the ruleset. And...

I may run the rest of the adventure on Friday and see what else they can do to mess up my plans.

Get used to PC's "messing" up your plans, it happens all the time. And congrats.

First game I ever really *ran* (outside of when I was much younger and had my friends roll up some characters then futzing around for a few hours while nothing was accomplished), lasted for a year and a half. Everybody enjoyed it. There's something satisfying in watching everything all come together. Good luck!

Congrats! Life is good when you're a D&D player, but better (and harder) when you're the DM.

This goes in my scrapbook alongside Harlan Ellison calling me a b*tch and having jury duty with Ursula LeGuin!

Wow. While I'm sure 3-4 people a day get called nasty names by Harlan*, I'm betting not many can claim the the LeGuin jury duty story (well, maybe 10 others, I suppose)! That's really cool! I take you live in Portland, then? It may be off-topic, but I know I'd like to hear it.

*I'm not actually trying to minimize your Harlan Ellison story. I was just trying to make a joke at his expense, having had a couple of very brief encounters with him myself. I imagine that's also a really good story.
