Also, just because they have PhDs and law degrees don't mean nuttin. That just means they focused on one thing. Unless one of them picked up a PhD in Outsmarting the DM, its just a bunch of letters after their name in a game setting. Sure, it shows at least some intelligence, but its mostly determination. Just go for it. Have fun. If you're having fun, theres a better chance they'll have fun. If you're too afraid about them trouncing you with rules lawyering (another invented word?) Find a system they don't know, read the rules every night before you go to bed, learn them inside and out, and then run in that system. Or just do the same with the D&D rules. You can also simply state before hand that your game will be served with a healthy side of Rule 0. FORGET about the fact that you have some very skilled DMs sitting opposite the table of you. They remember the days when they were first starting out DMing. If that still doens't help, attempt to locate a group of less experienced players and run some games for them (staying with your current group, of course). Just have fun, and do your best to make sure the other players are having fun. If you have questions about the rules, talk to the other DMs before hand, and ask them to maybe give you a bit of support if you stumble. Just remember to have fun, that cannot be stressed enough. Relax, you'll be fine, just get into the game and let your worries slip away. Go for it!</p></blockquote><p></p>
