Session 0. Starting your adventure. Communication, Checklists, Consent

Dungeon Master Eddie gets to sit down with his old friend Dungeon Master Tom to talk about approaches to being a dungeon master. They discuss styles, experience of being a first time DM, lessons learned, strengths and weaknesses, keeping balance at the table, and the value of a good NPC. Plus they talk about understanding how a player truly works with or against the party when seeing it from the other side fo the table. Settle in for a good conversation between two dungeon masters who ran the marathon, campaigns where players went from level 1 to level 20, and hear some gaming war stories to boot.

Doug and I (John) talk to Jared Cvetas. Jared is the GM for my weekly Pathfinder game and a fan of Douglas and Dragons. We talk about the show, our Wednesday night game, game mastering in general, and other random stuff. Please enjoy, and we’ll be back with episode 49...

After an intense few days, the party collects themselves and decides their next move. But first, Dottie makes a deal with her sentient weapon... This session's natural 20 shoutouts go to Dynamic Gorilla! Our good friends at Dynamic Gorilla are local Phoenix game designers of the game, Dungeon Doors. Dungeon Doors is an ever changing 1 vs. 2-5 dungeon-crawling, role-playing adventure. Where a band of heroes battles through all the monsters, obstacles, and traps the master of doors can throw at them in the grand adventure of escaping the dungeon. Game rounds take 20-40 minutes, making it easy for everyone to get a turn (because, you know, owning this game will attract large crowds), and with each new round comes a new variation on the dungeon, new door masters, new heroes to embody, and new adventures to forge. Artwork is designed by local tattoo Artist, Kyle Ward. www.Dynamicgorilla.com/dungeondoors     Follow us on Instagram @LittleRoomDM
