So You Wanna Be a Dungeon Master

Ep.84 - Reddit Horror Stories

This week, reach for the sky partner and check your boots for snakes, because we’re venturing into the Wild West of Reddit. We’re looking at horror stories again, gang! Taylor and I will read the story, check out some comments, and put our experience to work! What could have been prevented with basic empathy and communication? Oh… All of them? Probably… Let’s get into it!

Ep.83: Oath of Self-Discovery Paladins [Homebrew]

This week we are celebrating! Sort of at least! I recently was able to be in a charity stream that helped raise 350 dollars for The Trevor Project! And part of that was the incredible Sharkmaster donating to get a custom homebrew subclass! Well, they decided they wanted a Paladin subclass, specifically the Oath of Self-Discovery. So Taylor and I are going to each showcase a different interpretation of the mission!

Ep.82 - Druid 2024

This week we’re talking about the 2024 Druid Class and subclasses! You should know the deal by now, gang! We’re going to cover what’s new, what’s stayed the same, and all the while discussing how we feel about it. And as always, these are just our opinions. If you’ve played the 2024 Druid and you loved it, that’s awesome and you should keep loving it! But we’re two people with a podcast… so we’re practically scientists just looking at the hard evidence and forming our own hypothesis–oh wait.. Hold on, I’m getting a message from our producers… Apparently having a podcast doesn’t make you a scientist.. Weird…

Ep.81 - Dynamic Combat 101

This week we are going to talk about Dynamic Combat! Obviously combat is a huge part of D&D, some would even argue it’s the biggest part. But that means that over the years and campaigns, you’re going to be running and fighting in a TON of combat encounters. How can we keep ourselves and our players having fun without getting bored? If every combat is just good guys vs bad guys hitting each other until one side stops… that can get old, fast. So let’s get into some Dynamic Combat!

Ep.80 - Weapon Masteries 101

This week we’re going over one of the exciting new mechanics that D&D 2024 stole from Baldur’s Gate 3… I mean…. Yeah… anyway! Weapon Masteries! What are they? Who gets them? And are they overpowered towards the players? Let’s discuss this exciting new mechanic discussed in the 2024 Player’s Handbook!

Ep.79 - Common DM Mistakes Pt. 2

This week we’re going over some Common Dungeon Master Mistakes. We did almost 20 episodes ago but this time we’re looking at entries given to us on social media! So Taylor and I are going to review these common mistakes, talk about our experience with them, and offer several ideas to get better at them. Remember, everyone makes mistakes. And what even constitutes as a mistake may shift from table to table. If you want our help directly, send us an email at soyouwannabeadm@gmail.com or join our Discord and talk to us there!

Ep.78 - Psion Class 101

This week, we’re going over the brand new class, The Psion! This was released recently in the newest edition of Unearthed Arcana by D&D. A class that specializes on psionic powers has been heavily requested by the community for years and years, and it’s finally here! And don’t worry, it’s more than just telepathy and telekinesis!

Ep.77 - Cleric 2024

Take me to Church! Because we’re getting back into the 2024 Player’s Handbook and discussing the Cleric! What’s changed, what’s the same, and is it any good?! We’re going to review the base class and subclasses available in the 2024 PHB! As always, Taylor and I will give our opinions, but they’re just that.. Opinions! And since we both love the cleric so much, I expect this to be a really interesting episode, so let’s get into it!

Ep.76 - Bastions 101

This week we’re meeting with the realtor, we’re touring properties, and we’re freaking house huntin’ because this episode is all about BASTIONS! Most Dungeon Masters have probably given their party a stronghold, a keep, or even a villa for them to call home. We may have even homebrewed some mechanical benefits. But in the Dungeon Master’s Guide 2024, we have a whole chapter dedicated to Bastions. There’s a good amount to cover, so let’s get into it!
