Hey, guys!
My name is James! I'm new here so I thought I would introduce myself! I'm a new DM in the midst of my first campaign. I was introduced to D&D by a couple friends from work. After playing just one session, I was hooked and decided that I wanted to DM! I now DM for a group of six friends at my small Christian university in the midwestern United States. We've only had time for one session but it was a blast!
Having only played once and only been researching the game for a few months, I am probably one of the least qualified DMs in the history of Dungeons and Dragons and I love it! One of the staff members at my college is also a DM and recommended the Dungeon Master's Block as a resource. I have now listened through a bunch of the episodes. It's been an invaluable source of inspiration to ignite my imagination!
Aside from DMing, I am a huge nerd. I love Star Trek, Star Wars, and literature. My username is a nod to Grendel's description in Beowulf ("shadow-walker" in Old English). I'm a psychology major in college but am planning to get my masters and PhD in one of the humanities (likely Biblical studies or literature).
I'm super excited to learn from all of your experience! I love being part of this hobby! Feel free to ask me questions about myself. I look forward to getting to know you!
Keep rolling those nat 20's!
James

Welcome to the world of DMing!
If youre playing 5e just read chapter 9 twice and know the conditions fairly well and you’ll be good to go.
I hope the block party family will continue to inspire.

Thank you, lasersniper!
Yes! I have seen the new movie! I have really mixed feelings about it. I want to go see it again and I think I'll enjoy it more the second time. What did you think of it?

Thank you, lasersniper! Yes! I have seen the new movie! I have really mixed feelings about it. I want to go see it again and I think I'll enjoy it more the second time. What did you think of it? Wow December wiped me out. Been a little while since I was back on the forums. I loved the movie though. Saw it three times and I think it is my favorite Star Wars movie. Need to see how it holds up once it gets released to Blu-ray before I solidify my opinion. I don't see to much bad with it. Some nitpicky things of course. Canto Bite was a little slow but it was fun. I think the space Leia scene could have been shot better. Oh and Vice Admiral Holdo got on my nerves SOOOOO bad. I appreciate what she was to the movie but I kinda hated her. But yeah, other then those small things. Adored the film.

Welcome to the Block Party! Glad to have you join us and that you are taking on the awesome task of being a Dungeon Master! Also, your friend is doing the work of a saint and is telling others to listen to the podcast. Can't wait to see what all you have to share with us.
