So You Wanna Be a Dungeon Master

Ep.38 - Balance 101

This week we’re talking all about Balance! So you might think that just means figuring out how to balance a combat encounter, but there’s more to it than just that! Team composition, magic items, combat, Difficulty Class, and session prep are all about balance. Some of the tips and tricks we’ll go over may vary table to table. But having an understanding of the basic mechanics and the style of play your table is after will all help in having a game that’s fun and rewarding!

Ep.36 - Artificer 101

This week we’re taking a pit stop back at Class to talk all about the Artificer! These tinkering little scientists combine the arcane with the mechanical! They’re hopped up on infusions, attuned to the max, and have all the tools in the arsenal at their disposal. They may be one of the newest classes to make it to D&D, but the artificer is here to stay! Because these guys have so many infusions, they can get a little chonky with the crunch, we’ll just be going over the base class with this episode and going over subclasses in the next one!
Have YOU played an Artificer? What are your feelings?!

In the episode this week, we’re talking about the divine, baby! Gods, goddesses, and all kinds of deities often have some sort of influence over the worlds we create or the ones we play in.

There’s a lot to discuss when it comes to how different Pantheons are used in D&D, so let’s get right into it!

Ep.33 - Backstories 101

In this episode, we’re going over something that has held true since the inception of D&D as a medium. Player Character Backstories have and are being used by many tabletop roleplaying games. Each player controls one character. And that character has a backstory. This includes their history, their background, and their connections to the world’s locations and people. The backstory is usually the experiences that character had before the adventure, but it can be much more than that. Let’s talk about how DMs can help set them up and use them in the game!
What was YOUR favorite backstory of a PC you've played?!
