So You Wanna Be a Dungeon Master

Ep.73 - Themes 101

This week we’re going over the thing that can shape your entire game. Themes are a surefire way to make your setting and your story stand out. This is the lens that you can see everything through or the flavor you add to the pot. These are going to be the big key words you use to describe what makes this game, this world, these characters, and this story different. It’ll make more sense when we get started!

Ep.72 - Bard 2024

This week, tune those lutes, clean out your flutes, and get those bongos ready, gang - because we’re going over the 2024 Bard Class! We’ll cover everything you need to play the class while giving our opinions of any changes from the 2014 version. Which parts are better? Which parts feel worse? And remember, these are simply our opinions. Just because we dislike a change between the versions, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, it may just not be for us. Fun is always the most important thing! And what better way to have fun, than a bard!

Ep.71 - Session Prep 201

This week we’re going to look at Session Prep! In fact, Taylor and I are going to be prepping a real session of D&D. This is for one of my home games coming up in a couple weeks. Along the way, we’ll talk about different styles, methods, and things to cover when doing session prep. Hopefully this helps the Dungeon Masters listening to prep for your own sessions. But remember, not everyone preps the same way. What works for me or for Taylor may not work for you, and that’s okay.
