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!

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!

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. But how can the Dungeon Master use them? Is there a right or wrong way to go about it? And if the gods are so powerful, why aren’t they fixing the world’s problems? 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!

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!
