[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2856112, member: 18701"] Sounds like it went perfect then :) Seriously...that's about how it goes for a DM's first game! If you replied back and said it went perfect, then something is wrong with your group :p First, tell your friend to "please shut up and play". That's pretty annoying that he would be hassling you like that from the beginning. But ya know, that's [b]still[/b] pretty normal for a guy to be doing that to a first time DM. You'll always DM someone who is going to be a problem player at times. Gamers are just annoying like that. Gamers love to prove how much smarter they are than others, and they love to show other gamers that they know more about gaming/D&D than everyone else. This guy was just giving you a hard time to boost his ego and show off a little. All you need to do is keep DM'ing! Keep at it and don't take long breaks. During sessions, read combat rules in the Player's Handbook, skim over the classes so you know what they can do, & read up whatever chapters you think sound important in the Dungeon Master's Guide. Don't get frustrated to the point you want to quit....we all think like that in the beginning (or when you're DM'ing for a new group that turns out to be full of annoying players). [/QUOTE]
