first off, thank you for taking a moment to read this. it's my first post :D
i do not know if i'm posting this in the right place.... but...
That being said. out of everyone i know i've got the most experience with D&D, and i know a few others that wanted to play for a while. I've volunteered to be the DM and do a campaign.
we'll be doing it online, as not everyone will be able to meet up. (putting what i have heard about D&D Beyond's online abilities to the test) My biggest problem is one of the people who is joining, has had a bad experience playing D&D before... well not bad but a negative one. the last time she played she said it was nerve wrecking and boring. I feel i have to work harder to make this campaign fun and exciting for her and the others. I've been buying source books and reading the Tips for DMing. I'm still scratching my head. I'm not sure if i'm good enough to do this.
anyone have any tips, or examples of their first time they can share to help calm my nerves?
Do you plan on creating a campaign from scratch? How many people are in the group. I usually tell first time DM's to only play with no more than four people and to begin with a premade adventure module to get your feet wet. Too many people in the party can be confusing and slow down everything. I would also just wait until after the new PHB comes out, unless you already have one. No reason to start playing with the old rules, when the new rules will be available in less than 30 days. Best wishes.
