Regarding Events and DMing

[Jumpy]

I feel like the DM role should only be given to people who have more of a handle on DMing rather than just any average joe out there. From my personal experience there are people who definitely should not DM ever, and some who need like 7-8 events to get to a point where they can take on bigger challenges.

That being said, if you have a CoI to run just ask your friends. DMing simple events isn't too overwhelming and there are definitely a lot of people who can give you tips (me) if you're lost.
