Hey there folks! As one of the new guys around here, I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Andy, and I've been a DM for little over a year now. I used to play D&D and Rifts back in high school about 20 years ago with a couple of different groups, always as a player. As the years went on, the only other players/DM's that I knew moved out of state, leaving me with a D&D itch that couldn't be scratched.
Last year, I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I went out and picked up the 5e starter set. The next day I sat down with my wife, our 8 yo son, 13 yo daughter, and my mother, lol. The first session was a complete flop, so we started from scratch the next day, and had a blast killing the same goblins that ambushed us the day before. I invited some friends and their 2 kids to play, none of them with any RPG experience whatsoever. They we're immediately hooked!
As it stands today, I'm currently running 3 games (2 published and one of my own creation) and about to start a 4th game, introducing 2 new players! I found the DM's block about 6 weeks ago, and have been listening all day, everyday at work. I'm currently on ep.104 and will be caught up by the first of the year.
I would like to thank the hosts and guests for the amazing inspiration which I so desperately need as a new DM, and as a shout-out to joatmoniac and Morgan, I love the rotating labirynth, and plan to make a funtional physical 3-D map out of plywood to use with my PC's minis!
