I haven't been playing D&D for very long - my highest level character ever was level 4 (I think). My only other experience with D&D type gaming was the NWN games which gave some decent insight into how D&D would operate (I was always quite curious about those dice rolls that would go on in the lower portion of the screen).
To make up for my lack of experience I'm very into D&D gaming and read many of the books. I have recently been convinced to try my hand at DMing since I can't find a group to join amongst my friends. So now I'm DMing for a group of all female beginners. I hope to get good at DMing and maybe even convince my friends to take turns at DMing so I can have an opportunity to be a player as well.
