The Wyrm Den is the brainchild of the Redwyrmling (8yo DM) and in this issue you will find information on Desert Dragons, how to survive in the desert, and even a desert location that you can insert into your our adventures. This TTRPG zine is also filled with advice for adventurers and DMs
Age verification? I saved my allowance for months and finally was able to buy a black and white 13” TV from K-Mart for $18 so I could play Pitfall in my bedroom.
Age verification? My first anime was "Space Cruiser Yamato"
Age verification? On my middle school basketball team we all chewed lemon-lime Gatorgum.

It’s time for the final boss fight! This DM made their own monster with original stats, attacks, legendary actions, and lair actions! This thing hurts! Hopefully we all survive. #dnd

Tried to explain Football rules to the wyrmling and he said:

“This is weird and boring. Let’s watch women’s Olympic hockey instead.”

I may not have the largest TTRPG collection, but I have read every single book I own cover to cover.

The only challenge to taking this feat is that you have to actually have friends.

It is an origin feat for most characters and one you get at higher levels for edgy rogues.

Want to fly while invisible? Enlarge yourself and a friend? Cast Evard's Black Tentacles and Hypnotic Pattern at the same time?

This spell is for you!

Do you want the world to be ruled by otters? This is how you get a world ruled by otters.

In case no one has asked you recently, the wyrmling wanted me to pose this question…

“What is your favorite dinosaur?”

From a viewer:
"You started this channel at a time when D&D History seemed like a dead horse, and you proved otherwise. You have provided context and commentary with a neutrality to game versions that really has furthered my understanding of the game and the hobby."
Find out more in my latest video!
Early D&D didn’t treat rules as a complete system.
They were tools, examples, & procedures to be adapted by a referee.

My new video looks at why that assumption existed, and how it explains so many arguments we still have today.

9yo DM: Do you want to have second breakfast?

February marks the 5 year anniversary of the very first DnD advice from the wyrmling.

This one post led to so many friends in this community as well as the wyrmling being featured with interviews on dozens of youtube channels and nearly breaking the DnDmemes subreddit.

Conversations with the 9yo DM:

9yo DM: So this one is my 400th DM Tip?

Me: Yep. 400 in five years.

9yo DM: That’s enough.

Me: What?

9yo DM: If 400 tips are enough to improve someone’s DMing, nothing will help.

What are your favorite books that have inspired you as a dungeon master?
January 30, 2026 at 7:18 PM
Get out there and play some games.

9yo DM: Having to remember the rules of spellcasting, smiting, and whatever monks do is not as important as knowing what your monsters can do and how they can defeat the party.

It would be really cool to be nominated in the Bloggies for my post on how TTRPGs helped me deal with PPD.

I'd like this post to get more visibility so it can reach folks who are struggling with PPD and give them a bit of hope:

Conversations with the 9yo DM:

9yo DM: These <National Geographic> maps are so cool! Did they just send these to you free with the magazine?

Me: Yes. Almost every issue had at least one cool map.

9yo DM: Why couldn’t I have grown up in the 80s?

A cool notebook will at least make your blank pages look important.
