  • Ep.64 - Dungeon Master Horror Stories
    Mar 5 2025

    This week we’re traveling back to the wild west of Reddit! In this episode, we’re going to be covering some D&D Horror Stories that Dungeon Masters submitted! But are they really horror stories? Are the DMs fully innocent here? And how could we both avoid these issues proactively and reactively once they do happen? Remember, we have a Discord channel and an email (links in the description) and we invite you to send us your D&D Horror Stories, questions, homebrew ideas, and more!

  • Ep.63 - Downtime 101
    Feb 26 2025

    This week we’re going to be covering all of the ways a Dungeon Master can use the time the adventuring party isn’t adventuring. Maybe the dragon’s on vacation, maybe the archdevil is on bedrest, maybe the mindflayer colony took a wrong turn, whatever it is the adventurers have nothing to do… which means… Downtime! Whether it’s in between adventures, on the travel to the adventure, or even just in the couple hours before bedtime.. Downtime is often underutilized. So let’s freakin’ utilize the heck out of it!
