*We've never ran a tabletop game before, dm-wise
*My friend has a decent amount of experience playing, but I have never got a chance really to play, besides a few one-off games every year or so.
*we're not sure what kinds of things(maps, programs, etc.) we would need to get that sort of thing going
* not sure how to start on crfating a world(sounds a bit dumb, i know, but what can you do?)
*the books we would need for whatev er editions/games.(if you mention a good game in your post to play, books you would need being listed would be great

So if anyone has any tips/experience playing D&D through skype, Dming, or about the game(s) in general, any advice would be helpful. good things to know whould be the easier games to run through skype, good apps or programs to use, how to go about starting making a unique world good, stuff like that. I'm heading to work after this post, so I wont be able to respond to any qwestions about the setup were thinging off right away, but I will once I have the chance.
Thanks in advnce to all.
