The How-To DM Essentials

Not a long post, but good stuff: A mini class on being a dm: 101

Dear Readers,


This past school year, I've been privileged enough to have the absolute pleasure of helping a local high school's tabletop club.

We've played a lot: D&D, Dread, RuneQuest, Tales From the Loop, and we're next going to play some Cyberpunk.


Awesome.


But it occurred to me that some of them were wanting to learn how to DM/GM themselves. Well, it's kind of what I do here, right? I write about things relating to DMing/GMing.

So I put together a bit of a class. A two part class on how to DM/GM.


It was a rewarding activity and I've only done part 1 of 2.


And it got me thinking: is this something you all would like? A primer on being a DM/GM?


Well, I've decided to get my mini class added here for your use/enjoyment. There are videos embedded and speaker notes as well.

Here's a link to it!

Let me know what you think!
