Hello all. I'm not only new to the site, but new to DMing as well. I've been crafting since elementary school, D&D just gave me a new outlet. So i'm hoping to learn alot here, as well as have something to offer in return.

Welcome to the forum! I recommend you start with watching as many of the how-to videos as possible. There is a wealth of material in those videos, and they are generally very well prepared and presented too.

Welcome! I was in the same place as you not too long ago, lifetime crafter, fairly new DM. I always had trouble getting my campaigns all put together, but when I found the youtube videos and this forum and started crafting, it's made it 1000 times easier for me. I find it so easy to write campaigns now. Good luck with everything, I can't wait to see what you start to make!

You'll be addicted to crafting before you know it! Welcome! I've been addicted to crafting since I was a kid, its just soooo much fun that I never grew out of it. What I love most about crafting for d&d is the endless possibilities.

May I recommend a great site for GM advice? It is system neutral and has a lot of good stuff. (as a disclaimer, I write for the site under my real name, but the other authors are REALLY worth checking out).
gnomestew.com
Also, don't feel like you have to do EVERYTHING than anyone (including me) writes. Take the advice you like, and take it slow. If you simply balance combat, roleplaying, and a trap or physical challenge, you will be way ahead of the curve. The only thing I would recommend as a must, is that your players have a clear goal and a reason for pursuing it (rescue a captive, find a healing stone for a stricken village, etc....)
