I play DnD 5e as a player at the moment but used to DM Pathfinder at Uni. Enjoy it and don't be afraid to refer to the books if you're unsure on something. It may feel like you're slowing the game down to begin with but you'll get more used to the core stuff and not need to look bits up as much. Anything you do need you will find quite quickly and then it's the more obscure stuff that your players will want to do that you'll be checking and they may even have stuff to already point out what they're planning. It's likely everyone is a bit clueless as well, so you'll all work it out together. The rules are there but it doesn't matter if there's some stuff you don't quite interpret right in my mind (especially at the beginning). As it's such a long form thing, as cheesy as it is, it's about the journey and the story more than strcitly sticking to rules, though I'm sure this is different across different gaming groups and their wants from the game. Don't make it too easy or railroad your players from the get go, then they can get the fun of checking things and working stuff out and the satisfaction from winning and enjoy the struggle.

I might have asked before, but are there any TRPGists here?
A new recruit to our games night means there’s 4 of us, which is enough for DM+party I reckon. I’m apprehensive about first time DMing and wondered if there was a LFGsS support group :-)
