Hello everyone, I am in need of some tips that will help put me on the road to becoming a good DM.
I would like to say that this is my first time being a DM for D&D (paper pencil), though my I have DMed for a computer game called NeverWinterNights and did a really good job, though I am aware that DMing on a computer game and Paper pencil is drastically differnt.
Essentially, I just need some basic and some advanced tips on DMing, and would appreciate it if anyone could provide a lot of in depth info. I have the 3.5 corerulebook, and am going to buy the DM guide, though I would really like some knoweldge right sooner on it.
I am really anxcious to start my own adventure, and want the people I am DMing (personal friends of mine that are also playing D&D for the first time) to have a great time. Basicly the tips I need most on are...
Creating enemies - (low leveled, level 3-5)
How to best describe areas -
How to make use of the PC's abilities -
Things to NOT DO as a DM
Things Encouraged as a DM
Thats about it. And thank you for even bother to read this

My campign information
____________________
Well incase anyone is curious............ I basicly want to have a campign that revolves around the Undead Typical Zombie and Dungeon. To put it simply, the PC's were traveling and they all happened to come to the same town. When they get to this town there will be talk about another town that no one has heard anything from for a while, and even the mayor (or whatever they are called back then) is worried. The mayor is worried because he has sent people with trade goods (this town trades with the other) to this town, but none have returned. He wants people to go and investigate and report back all findings. There will be a reward of some kind.
Character Level - 4
