You're already aware that my D&D experience is virtually nil. However, I have been listening to the Penny Arcade podcasts of the fourth edition session. They explain everything they're doing, which gives a novice like me some insight into the system and how it works.
One of the things mentioned there seems applicable to this thread. It was that the DM is not the enemy of the players. Remember not to adopt an adversarial position to your players.
Not that I think you would. That's just the only relevant piece of information I have.
