The Benefits of "Fifty Shades"

  • My Friend: (whose girlfriend enjoyed "Fifty Shades of Grey") Hey [wife], have you read "Fifty Shades of Grey" yet?
  • My Wife: No, but it's on my Book Club's list, so I'll be reading it soon.
  • My Friend: (to me - holds out hand for a fist-bump) For when it happens.

Advice for a Newbie DM

I’m taking over the reins of my guild’s D&D nights on Monday - our first campaign ended last week, and now I’m whipping up the next story. So, I’m going to throw this out to the internet: any practical advice for a new DM?

(If it helps, we play on the Wizards Virtual Table system, so a lot of the tracking is done automatically for us. I’m curious to see if anyone has any suggestions for techniques and practices beyond tracking, since I have the tools for that at hand already.)
