Next month I'm going to run a collaborative Dming effort with a friend of mine: for me it's the first time in such a thing, so I'd like to get some advice from more experienced DMs.
My friend and I haven't yet decided the exact formula for the collaboration, so I can't describe the exact scenario: for example, I do not know which setting we'll play with, or if each of us will control a different character when it's not our turn DMing opposite to the same PC; only thing we know, for now, it will be Pathfinder.
Just for information, I regard myself as a good but not exceptional DM: I tend to railroad a lot, and have an hard time reacting to unexpected actions by PC; the encounters I design tend to be a bit harsh for the PCs, but if I see that thay're in a bad situation I tend to help them; plus, my rewards are rich. Given time I can dish out great adventures, if I have the time to plan accordingly.
The other guy is a much more experienced DM than me: he can write great adventures, with well balanced combats and interesting situations; he's a bit unfair in wealth distribution, though.
For both, it's the first time in such situation.
Suggestions?
