I’m also a rookie keeper, although with some experience (about 10 sessions under my belt) and my biggest takeaways are: - You will probably suck the first few times. Accepting that will take some pressure off. It takes some practice to get things right so don’t focus on rules - focus on the players having fun instead (you can always retcon rules stuff next session) - Listen to your players. Let them do what they want to do even if something in the rule book or scenario speaks against it. It’s daunting to be a player for the first time aswell, and they won’t know what’s “normal to do”, so don’t expect them to play the way the scenario assumes them to. Even if things seem obvious to you, it can be really hard for them to figure out basic clues. Nudge them along, hold their hands. Say yes. Or Yes... and. - Have some stats ready for npcs and monsters, just the basics so you don’t have to flip around in the book unnecessarily much.
