I am a completely new Gamemaster. I hate to say, but I kinda want to run the shadows and no one else can handle the job. I've never played a PnP RPG and I kinda need to know how to run a game. Everyone will tell you to make stuff up and be fair and all that, but no one even has rough guidelines on how to GM. I need the help. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
