I have viewed a lot of advice comments and things people say to new DMs.
Things that range from, "My player thinks I role played this wrong, was he right or am I?", to "Did I use this rule right?".
CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE. CONFIDENCE.
I have been DMing for many years now, I make rule mistakes ALL the time. If I make an obvious mistake my players point it out, I go oops and deal with it. The key is make them think you know what your talking about and they will not question you. If you changed a rule or made a slight alteration out of either a mistake or not, who cares your the DM.
The rules are not set in stone for the DM. They are guide lines to help you make a fair and fun game.
Fair is easy. As long as your players are having fun, the rules don't matter.
As DM you are a leader, and confidence is what makes the players follow.
