How 2 Dungeon Master 4 Dummies (DM TIPS)

(The Gnome Quest I referenced:    • GIMBLEPIP'S FATE (A Very Scuffed Test D&D ...  ) HEY HI it's time for more long form. I figure if I am gonna roast DM horror stories, I should also be a little positive goober and give some tips on avoiding becoming an RPG horror story. So yeah, today we're rocking Dungeon Mastering Tips for Dummies :) Some of this might feel like common sense for some people but I wanted to dive into a lot of stuff and answer a lot of the questions I got. Hopefully this helps some of you goobers out feeling a little more confident to try dungeon mastering. I have nothing but a greedy interest in making this video, though, because for every new Dungeon Master I create out there in the world, I have one more opportunity to shed the shackles of my forever Dungeon Master curse and get to play a single character one time in a D&D campaign ever. It's not looking likely, but you know, fingers crossed or whatever. Nathan vid is SERIOUSLY the next one I'm working on now, I just needed to get a video up before the end of the month and I didn't want my magnum opis to be rushed for you all. I also don't know how to spell magnum opis lmao.
