Ep1: They Asked You to Be Dungeon Master, Now What?

You just got invited to a new tabletop role playing session, and guess what? You're the dungeon master! This week we're going to discuss what do do when it's your first time dungeon mastering a game, whether it's your first time with role playing games, the first time dungeon mastering a system you've played before, or you've run a game before but in a different system, there's information here for you!

It's our first full episode and we're going to cover the required gear that you'll need to get yourself started dungeon mastering. More importantly, we will talk about rules! Do you need to know how to roll for a character untying a knot behind their back while being beaten over the head with a fish? Do you need to know every single rule in that massive players hand book? We'll cover how to address the rules and when it's useful to have a rules nerd at your table. Finally, we'll discuss some options to get a bunch of characters to actually turn into a party.
