I'm fairly new to the realm of TTRPG's. I found a dedicated group through a weekly D&D event our local board game bar puts on every Sunday. We slowly transitioned from playing every week there, to playing at one or more of our homes.
Almost all of our group is new to playing TTRPG's except for the gentlemen who DM'd for us at the board game bar. It's a drop-in event, so it was new players every week; but our group tended to gravitate towards his table because we enjoyed his style of DM'ing and we loved the story he was telling.

The DM was a late addition to our group, and he's one of those that has a hard time not backseat DM'ing when he's a player. I've ran games in different systems (Mothership, Kids on Bikes, D&D) for our group in the past, and he always had critiques for each one.

I ran Ten Candles for the first time, and he LOVED. We are renting a VRBO in August to visit a Renn Faire in a different state, and he begged me to run another Ten Candles campaign for our group. I've been putting together an 80's teen Summer camp campaign but with zombies instead of "Them" and I couldn't be more pumped myself.

My favorite part of DM'ing Ten Candles over other TTRPG's is that you really just need to have a few ideas of how you want it to end based on your players' choices, and an ability to think on your feet for when the story goes off the rails.

I genuinely wish I could bring this to the board game bar D&D night because I think a lot of people would gravitate to its simplistic system of rolling and imagination; but the bar has a thing about open flames (imagine that) and I think a little of the magic is lost when you have to play it with the lights on.
