Yeah, I think you're right. It's complicated and I'm as confused as you are. *grins* So, I think at this point, it will all DM made once we get the city of Duath maps made, connected and tested out.

DMing itself is a breeze really. You just have to know the motivations and backgrounds of your NPCs and well just RP them out. That's the whole trick of it. Creating balanced NPCs that and make them act accordingly. The other trick is creating challenges that aren't going to whipe out the party. I think I may be ering on the side of caution with this first campaign. I'll be upping the anty some as we progress just to test the limits of a well-disciplined army of PCs hehe Just start messing with the toolset. I'd suggest just making a very simple search and destory/dungeon crawl type game (similar to what I'm doing with the mini-campaign). I've learned a ton just monkeying around. And with anything, the more you use it, the easier it gets.

If you can find GOOD modules at all let me know. So far, there's only been a couple I liked. Most are just lame but might be OK with a party.
