Hi,

I want to play some d&d with two friends soon; and the role as dm came to me. (we would want to increase the group size if the first few small adventures run good)

My experience in rpgs is limited to maybe 5 runs (Shadowrun 4th Edition) and a few adventures (two if which I was GM) in "Das Schwarze Auge". But both now over a decade ago.

One of the adventurers in the group has a bit of experience and shouldn't be a problem; the other adventurer (my gf) has never played any rpg before.

I ordered the core rule set (player,master,monster-handbook) bundled with xanathars (and a dm-screen). On top of that enough dices and the book "candlekeep mysteries"

Do I need anything else? Any tipps for preparation? How important is the tabletop aspect i see popping up here in some pics?


edit:

Thanks for all of your tips!
