Im aware this has probably been asked a billion times ,But please HELP!
I'm Dm'ing for the first time on Wednesday with two players, (I'm only DM because I know how to make a character sheet). I've barley played but I know the rough story of this campaign.
BUT, I have no idea how to actually DM (I can play NPCs and to skill checks at most) but how on earth do I keep track of enemy health. Ranges for ranged attacks and how much to scale it down so two people don't instantly get railed by goblin arrows?
Also keeping track of players that have never ever played and have no idea how to level up ect.
Also do I need a map and all that and what should go behind my DM screen?
Should I make it more relaxed where I judge how far enemy's are away or should I be strict with specific distances and so on?
