As a new DM this podcast has helped reframe my responsibility with empathy as priority. It's a great podcast. Everyone works so hard. And the community is great.
Podcast Addict57 months agoDefaultradioI've been listening to this podcast for years and it always has good advice on how to run games, and not tips that are game specific but can help you no matter what you play.
