[QUOTE="Alhazred, post: 1603592, member: 19335"] Most people are understanding when it comes to new DMs. Many have been there and know the feelings of insecurity and anxiousness. Indeed, most people are happy simply to have someone willing to run a game. I don't think there is much for me to add to what Wombat and Saeviomagy and the others have already said. Pre-set adventures for low-level parties are a good way to start - they have the basics in terms of rules without getting exotic (especially when it comes to spellcasting and special abilities, which can pose problems for new DMs). When starting a new campaign, I like to ask the players for feedback, though not immediately after the session ends (it gives them time to think and email me a considered response). Know your players and their characters. If you fudge a rule, don't worry; even long-time players are apt the make a mistake. And remeber, as DM, YOU ARE IN CONTROL. All the best. Alhazred [/QUOTE]
