OK guys, long story short our DM hasn't been able to come to our weekly meet ups since June.
We're all kind of noobish, some haven't been playing for more than 6 months so instead of somebody else taking the DM's place we've been playing vidya and watching movies all summer.
I've never DM'd before but I'm tired of waiting so I may give it a try.
Anywhere I can find campaign pdfs besides lurking through /tg/? Any campaigns for level 10/11 characters you'd like to recommend?
Also, any tips for a noob DM besides "don't ragequit" and "it's ilegal to punch a player"?

We've been using other systems (pathfinder and anima), but we miss our firstborn kids.

Find pre-made modules online and fluff them to your needs. Don't try to make up a whole dungeon ecology and whatnot on your first go as GM.
Watch some youtube d&d channels for ideas on descriptive language and storytelling if you aren't confident in your own abilities yet.
Take it slow, and make sure you make notes so that you can reference them as needed or remind players of things that had happened in previous sessions. If you can ultimately reference something from previous sessions organically, it will come across as a deeper woven narrative in the game.
Figure out snacks/food in an amicable arrangement, and figure out a time to eat/smoke/etc. in a reasonable time frame so that you don't get interrupted at a crucial time.
And of course, have fun.

Not OP, but in a similar situation. Can you name any good DnD channel on YouTube? I'm planning 5th ed if that's important

The only DnD 5th ed channel I know is Node, and he's not that great

If you're new to the game then 10th level is way too high. Try 1st-3rd level first to get used to it before you get all the extras from higher levels.

Not new to the game, have been playing for two years.
One of those level 10 characters is actually mine, she'll just have to attend some important business whilst I DM.
The only thing I am new to is to DMing. But it can't be that hard, right?
