How to start DMing?

Hello there future Dungeon Master! Would you like to start being a Dungeon master but you don't know how to, or perhaps feel intimidated? I would like to offer a basic start to get you to actually host a game! In this information session we are going to talk about what the basics are of being a Dungeon Master. During the second part of the session we are going to create a one-shot together and dive into what you need to do, in order to run a published adventure.

I will host the session on my Discord server, microphone is a pre and webcam is optional.

In roughly 3-4 hours, we are going to look at:
- different ways to play
- what do you need
- published & homebrew
- adventure design
- how to combat (prep and running)
- how to roleplay
- how to exploration
- tools
- experience, style and specialties
- communication
- tips and tricks

In the second active part of the session:
- collaborative create a one-shot
- take a dive how to prep a written adventure

Finally at the end I am going to share a couple of tricks and tips, answer questions and if you want feedback.
