Dungeon Master

So, hello and welcome to Forgotten Tales, a live D&D podcast.

My name is Johnny, and I'll be your Dungeon Master for this evening.

Woo!

Yeah, Johnny.

Uh, and yeah, there's a certain element anytime you watch any kind of, uh, you know, social media content, I guess technically, you know, I would not be exempt from this with my show either, but there's always a certain element of, uh, conflict or something like that that that needs to be spoken to because this is obviously drives more engagement in uh in views and such right so um i understand a lot of the things they're making but nothing was really overly dramatic or anything like that in fact i actually agreed with a lot of the things that they pointed out in their various videos i'm not necessarily going to just rehash everything people said and instead i i came up with my own list i was i've kind of aggregated some of the things I saw across various different channels but also putting my own personal touch on a lot of these so a lot of these ones I agree with every single one of these although in some cases for each element I'm going to bring up there is a remedy for it or a potential remedy for it so yeah let's let's just kind of go through this because I took some time to put this all together and I didn't really think necessarily like just now that I think ahead I didn't necessarily think okay here's this and then the solution is this so I'll be kind of I'm rationalizing it out as I speak about it, as I'm going over my list here.

So, talking about Dungeon Masters first, because that's the most common one you hear about.

And probably the more, if you have a table of people playing, and you're told, someone at this table is going to become very burned out, most likely you're going to guess the DM, and probably...

I would say 8 to 9 times out of 10, that will be the person that is getting burned out, right? Just purely given the amount or the different sort of expectations that are put there.

We're going to discuss the genre, breaking it

down so that Dungeon Masters can pull from this terrifying toolbox.

What makes horror what it is? And how do we incorporate it into our TTRPGs? Let's find out.

But first...

Yeah.

This is where we get into like role play.

So dungeon masters, I think can do a lot for leading the way kind of showing by example, leading by example a little bit.

You know what I mean? When you kind of, as a dungeon master, when you are like in a serious moment, you can, you're just, without outright saying, Hey guys, this next scene is going to be pretty serious by you changing the way you're speaking, kind of sitting in a pause, maybe like using vivid descriptions.

We are a video podcast where great authors play bad D&D.
