Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Class is in session! Get it? Because they're called "Classes" as in Character Classes... Okay, ignore that... We are starting a little series here where we go over the basics of every Player Class available as well as the subclasses from the Player's Handbook! And we're kicking it off with our raging warrior, the Barbarian!
And before you ask... YES, this is useful for Dungeon Masters! You should know the class abilities for many reasons! You can be that font of information for your players. You can also build challenging encounters when you understand what your players can do. AND! You can highlight the cool abilities they have! So this series isn't just for the newbies, no no no. This series is for everyone!

Ep.11 - The Improv Game
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
In this episode, we display our improvisation skills by playing a Make Some Noise style game! Each of us gives the other a prompt they've never seen before and they have to, on the spot, act it out! This episode is a lot of laughs, but it illustrates how improv doesn't have to be a nerve-wracking thing, it can be a fun skill to practice! And there's 3 mini games throughout the episode that you can participate in alongside Taylor!
We want to repeat this style of episode in the future, maybe with guests the next time! So email us some improv prompts and they may end up in the next episode!

About Us
Taylor & Justin
We are two nerds who love playing games with our friends! As two neurodivergent people, we know what it's like to feel anxiety about running a game of D&D. That's why we wanted to make it more approachable and fun to try out being a Dungeon Master (or game master, lore keeper, etc). We hope to tear down the barriers that prevent players from getting behind the screen!
