Yeah, I probably would want to start as a player and not a GM. I've only done DnD a couple times so I don't think it would have too much influence on my ability to learn this. With my lack of knowledge in it I'd definitely want to get comfortable as a player before ever committing to being a GM.
Thanks for the info! Youtube always has a wealth of knowledge so I'll start there and dig in a bit to see what I can find. Thanks for the help! Cheers.
