Is there an easy how to guide to being the Dungeon Master in a Dungeons and Dragons game for the first time?
I want to start my very first Dungeons and Dragons campaign but I don't know what I need to do to be able to start and run a good game.
TSR (guess they are now Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro), publishes the Dungeon Master Guide. Later editions of it have some excellent DM'ing advice.
My suggestions:
1. If you are creating your own world, have it pretty much developed and defined prior to creating player characters... politics, racial make-up, geography, etc... if you are using a pre-made world (Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, etc.) make sure you have a good understanding of the world and an idea of where you want to take it.
2. Develop your campaign goal... a good campaign to me is like playing a character in a book... there are plot lines occuring, npc's and pc's are well developed, and there is some mystery as to what's going to happen next.
3. Guide the player's in character creation so that they fit within your campaign concept. This includes race, alignment, and power.
4. Don't let the abilities of the characters get away from you.
5. Maximize role-playing and minimize hack-n-slash... many of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have had did not have any dice rolling.
6. Put a little levity in the game if appropriate. Too much and it becomes a farce though...
7. Encourage players to roll play - award things like having the characters do something that the player wouldn't do based on the 'life experiences' of the character vs. those of the player... encourage dialog and detailed explanation when appropriate.
8. Hide your dice rolls so that your campaign can go the way you want it. There is a lot of fun to be had with random events, but don't let a weird dice roll ruin the campaign.
9. Read lots of books first to get inspiration... not only fantasy, but read authors like Dickens who loved to write long descriptions of locations, etc. One of the guys I played D&D with in college was and English major and was a great DM as well as player.
10. Have fun!
Good luck.
