Just discovered this show, which appears, sadly, to have stopped being made. I’m a long-time RPG player and fan (since the dawn of D&D), wanting to try my hand at GMing. Listened to the first two episodes so far— truly a wealth of info and tips about how to make a great game experience for the players, and incidentally clued me in to a bunch of RPGs and support resources I was unaware of. Thank you the podcast creator and the guest members of the brain trust.
Very informative and useful show on game mastering. You’re giving me some great ideas. Thanks.
Really enjoyed listening and learning from the great DMs on the cast. Thanks very much for excellent talk and tips!
