So guys, 30 miniutes until my first D&D session (as a DM).
Ask me anything. I'm bored/anxious.

How many deformed mutant retard babies spawning from their mothers's asses does your game have?
>>50813062
Which edition are you running? Are your players new as well?
Good luck, OP.
>>50813062
Improv. Keep things loose. https://donjon.bin.sh is your best friend for names of people and things.
Are you running a published adventure or something you wrote?
Do you have a "the PCs go from A to B to C" story in mind? If so, abandon it. You can still run your session without it.
Why don't you try alcohol or benzodiazepines?

Thanks I will keep it in mind.
>>50813062
Ignore all advice we give you. Even this piece of advice.
>>50813153
except this.
donjon is the most amazing thing ever in the history of electronic pen and paper games. Learn it, love it, live it.
If someone bitches about dnd or the edition, see if you can have them driven from the group.
They escaped internet containment and infiltrated people who actually play.

Haha by complaining and pointing out flaws I convinced my group to play brp, and now everyone is happy. Not least because I am gm now
How do you handle players with physical disabilities? For example, I am almost deaf from huffing airhorn gas and it causes friction in my group.

I like to assert my dominance over my players on first session. When one of them says a joke out of character I laugh along, then I spawn a Balrog next to them and have them straight up murder them. Then the Balor transforms into an angel and resurrects them, though missing an arm or a leg.
I do think to show them I'm tough but fair. I even throw them 100 gold each after the encounter in the form of the angel "dropping it". Usually the player I bullied leaves the game, but as a whole it really improves the party.
