HI, My name is Melvin. I'm a middle-aged, married man with two kids in college and a little time on my hands to start a new project. I decided to learn to become a DM and because I've collected every publication I could find around D&D 4e, I chose that as my base game. I'm sure I'll expand from there, but since I already have so much literature in 4e, I figured it would be a great place to start.

I've read the DM guides 1 & 2, the Player Guides 1-3, Monster Manuals and several adventures. I still don't quite have it all down, but I'm getting there. Some questions still elude me, like how do you know when a player should find treasure? Does it all have to be thought out ahead of time, or can it be random? So I'm figuring it out and trying to understand it. There's so much to read!!!
