Hey all, I've been playing various editions of D&D and other pen and paper games for about 28 years now, I've been a dungeon master/ game master/ and story-teller (varied names for a DM) for around 25 of those years. I'm not especially cocky but I've been told by a lot of my groups that I should offer my advice and experience to more people. Make it accessible and all that jazz. Now I don't know 5E well, I pretty much switched over to pathfinder after 4E kinda let me down. That said I know running games pretty well, and I figured this was as good a place as any to offer up my tips and tricks. Think of it as sort of a Q&A thread. I'm really glad to see so many young people playing and becoming active in the world of tabletop gaming and this is about the best I can do to offer support and guidance to that new generation. May your 20s be natural and your 1s be epic!
