[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 2770055, member: 13703"] I hadn't played D&D, or any RPG for that matter, for a couple of years. I had to drop out of the previous group that I was in as juggling full-time work, studying for a Graduate Diploma and having a girlfriend became too much. (My previous group played quite a few different RPG's but the DM didn't like D&D so we never played it.) A couple of months ago I decided that enough was enough and I wanted to start playing again. My old DM had since moved interstate and the group had broken up. I had always wanted to give DM'ing a go and since I had to start the group from scratch, being the DM'ing was probably going to be the easiest way to do so (I find players are much easier to find than DMs). So far we are 2 sessions in to a D&D3.5 campaign and things seem to be going ok so far. There are lots and lots of things that I need to improve on but I'm sure that things will get better over time as I become more comfortable in my DM'ing abilities as well as becoming more familiar with the rules (I'm sure the number of rules in 3.5E grew since the last time I played it :lol: ) Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
