So, It's Been a Minute

The Daily DM • January 6, 2025

So, Life, am I right?

A group of people are standing in a forest.

Dear Readers,


Yeah…

So, the holidays were an absolutely crazy time for us here at the Daily Dungeon Master Blog. I mean, absolutely insane. Between the festive chaos, travel, and the endless cascade of unexpected life events, the blog definitely took a hit. For that, I sincerely apologize.


But that’s beside the point.


The real reason I’m writing this is to let you know that I’ve been doing some thinking, some reorganizing, and a bit of soul-searching about the blog and its future. I’ve realized something: I miss the connection we had when posts were more regular. I miss sharing my thoughts, tips, and creations with all of you, and I miss hearing back from you about your own adventures and ideas. So, it’s time to make some changes.


The Big News: More Content, More Often

Starting this week, the blog is shifting gears. I’m committing to three posts a week—yes, three! Here's the plan:


  • Monday Madness: A post dedicated to all things Dungeons & Dragons. Campaign tips, NPC ideas, dungeon-building advice, and maybe even a few homebrew creations. Start your week off right with some inspiration for your next session. Much of the same content you've loved and come to expect!


  • Wednesday Wonders: This post will be a mix of lore deep dives, player strategy, DMing advice, and all the other topics that make D&D the amazing hobby we all love.


Friday Feature: Painting Miniatures!

  • This is where things get really exciting. After taking a break from painting miniatures, I’ve decided to dive back into it—and bring you all along for the ride. The Friday posts will showcase miniatures I’ve painted, along with detailed breakdowns of the techniques I used. I’ve been working on some new approaches to painting and can’t wait to share what I’ve learned (and am still learning). Expect step-by-step guides, lots of photos, and maybe even a few painting fails because hey, we’re all human, right?


Why This Matters

When I started this blog, it was about building a community and celebrating everything that makes tabletop RPGs so special. That mission hasn’t changed. In fact, it’s stronger than ever. By committing to this new schedule and diversifying the content, I’m hoping to make The Daily Dungeon Master Blog an even better resource and a place where we can all grow as players, DMs, and creators.


How You Can Help

I’d love to hear from you! What types of content are you most excited about? Do you have ideas for topics, painting challenges, or even feedback on how I can make this blog better? Drop a comment, send me a message, or hit me up on social media. Let’s make this a collaborative effort.

Thank you for sticking with me through the ups and downs. Your support means the world, and I’m excited about what’s ahead. So, here’s to a new year, a new chapter, and hopefully, a lot of awesome adventures—both on the table and in the hobby space.


Until next time, Dear Readers,


Your ever-apologetic Daily DM


(who swears they’ll stick to this plan this time!)
