[QUOTE="tanalos, post: 5637780, member: 6679834"] [b]Grading yourself on DM Skills[/b] You will always be your own worst critic when it comes to being a DM. Was this your normal gaming style, no but it fit the situation. Not all games are the same and eventually the game will work back in to more of a balance that you're use to. Key things to remember: - You have just started a new generation (gaming table) of players in to a non digital table top roleplaying session that THEY CHOOSE to come back to! This in its self is a huge win from my perspective - You brought kids and parents together for a game and quality time together sparking interest - You have the ability to shape later sessions and create the D&D challenges that you enjoy too Great stuff and I wish more folks did this with their kids instead of plopping them down in front of World of Warcraft where an uncontrolled gaming environment of hackers, foul mouthed adults, and board trolling creeps cause undue harm to kids minds. I love online games but the controls aren't in place for most kids to handle and its at a far more adult level then kids need at that age. I DM and support old school basics and love to hear about others who do like wise. Keep up the great work! [/QUOTE]
