Local game store is running a “how to DM” session next month, but I don’t think I want to pick up a 5e DM Guide at this point. Maybe I should check if it’s really required.

5e could end up being the edition to play for years yet, but it could also be an expensive purchase that I only use for a couple of months. #RPG #DND

@tewha I honestly think you can try DMing without it. If you decide you like it enough to get the included content for $30, great.

@tewha 5E's the standard if you like corporate junk, but.

Try out Basic Fantasy http://basicfantasy.org
or Swords & Wizardry https://www.mythmeregames.com/collections/swords-wizardry

Which are the better, cleaner version of the game, massively cheaper. You can add anything you want yourself. All the OSR stuff works with either of these.

Learn to GM by doing, and/or by watching old-school streams, like https://www.youtube.com/@3D6DTL
