I've been DMing since early 2016 after making a group with some good friends from high school. I had no experience with D&D before that (besides the movies shudder), only hearing about it in truth from a couple coworkers who've been playing for years. I've had one experience as a player, DMed through the starter set into a Skyrim campaign which we finished just shy of the 2 year mark before the end of 2017. Starting up with Curse of Strahd next, and should hopefully get to be a player again soon when one of mine runs his own campaign!
