I'm a professional writer and director, and I've been DMing for over 10 years.
You know, not enough people are out here defending the really 1-dimensional "destroy the moon" style villains for D&D. So, I'm going to do just that. You can make your next villain just be really really evil. It's good fun!

Saw it start to snow today, so I rushed downtown to film a video in the snow. Only by the time I parked and shot a few of the first walk-and-talks I realized that no snow had been seen. It didn't snow downtown, just in my suburb.

There's a real, actual, definable reason why nobody ever runs the Tarrasque in D&D. It's because the lore is *bad.* But what makes lore bad? What makes it good? youtu.be/KqTNeiefmPQ

With #strangerthings just around the corner and the #hellfire club box set released, I wanted to explore how Joseph Quinn's Eddie Munson DMs a game of #dnd to see what makes him such a great dungeon master! @dndbeyond.com

Brennan's Critical Role overture is over. Let me tell you about that time I ran that idea very differently. We did 38 solo sessions where the players played through their backstories. Here's a video diary on how I organized it.

SPOILER ALERT: It was a spreadsheet. 📈

Thanks to @dndbeyond.com for the care package! The added PHBs have helped us in our transition to go all paper! Looking things up in the hardcover books are routinely beating out online tools in quick searches for rules explanations!

Any chance you'll send me a Starter Set? 👉👈

Thanks to @nerdimmersion.com's for his coverage of the @dndbeyond.com GenCon panel! I really look forward to seeing how this Table Initiative is going to manifest.

And it's great to see more of that same language of earning back trust they've been using.
