So You Wanna Be a Dungeon Master

Ep.89 - New Players 101

This week we’re going to be talking about how to teach new players. As Dungeon Masters, we want people to play the game with us. Naturally, you’re going to run into players with huge variations in their experience levels. But that’s okay. This episode is going to focus on the ones who don’t know the game, haven’t played much or at all, and might not even have dice of their own. *GASP* 
And maybe you’ve been elected DM because your friends want to try out D&D. Well, this episode is going to go over all the basics for teaching players how to play the game.

Ep.88 - Species 2024

This week we’re going to be covering the Species a Player can choose in the 2024 Player’s Handbook! We will discuss what’s changed, both for the individual species and about how species work in general. Right off the bat, they’ve made a great change of calling them species instead of races. So hopefully everything else will go this smoothly. There’s a lot to go over so let’s get right into it!

Ep.87 - Choosing Monsters for Combat

This week we’re going to be getting into the specifics of how to select monsters for combat encounters. When it comes to combat in D&D, there are many nuances and variables, some more important than others. What level is the party at? How much rest have they had? Is this meant to be easy or challenging? Where is this fight happening? How intelligent are the enemies and do they have prior knowledge of what the party is capable of? We’ll attempt to peek behind the screen and show you what works for us and hopefully you’ll walk away from this episode with a bunch of tips and tricks!

Ep.86 - Fighter 2024

This week we’re throwing hands, we’re kicking shins, and we’re wielding weapons, gang! That’s right, we’re getting into the 2024 version of the Fighter. As always, we’ll get into the differences from 2014 and discuss what’s better, what’s worse, and what’s just kind of like a dry, plain cucumber because you ran out of some kind of dressing… like it’s fine. It’s definitely not all bad, but given what it could be, it’s impossible not to hold a magnifying glass up to it and really take a good, hard look at what potential means… whoa… sorry I blacked out for a minute...
