As [MENTION=6775477]Shiroiken[/MENTION] noted, I'm not as much looking for general DM advice--there was some of that (e.g. the NPC stuff)--but specifics to 5E. Thanks also for the tips about zombies and horror - I'm going to read "The Trajectory of Fear," although I'm probably not going to try too hard to scare the crap out of them as this tends to be a casual "low-to-moderate immersion" group.A follow-up question. I'm devoting most of my prep time to the setting and adventure so am hoping that we can all learn the rules as we play. It is a pretty forgiving group that appreciates that I can take the time to DM, but I'd still like to make sure I have a handle on the basics. Beyond the "How to Play" section in the PHB and skimming the rules as a whole, is there any other section I should make sure to give especial attention to before we start? Again, we're all pretty "chill" so it isn't a big deal if we're learning as we go but if there are specific sections of the text that I need to look at, that would be good to know.</blockquote>
