Sad to see it end. But if you just found this show go back start at the beginning listen to the episodes. I enjoyed it and found some fun things to do with my group.
Great Show for newbies or oldies

Derrick does a great job at making D&D (and other systems) approachable for all. It is great to hear and learn from so many other DMs.
Great show

Found this show through his appearance on the Dungeoncast, and it’s become one of my weekly listens. Love all of the content and the interviews
Good content, poorer editing in EARLY episodes.

I’ve enjoyed the guests that have been on, but some of the episodes are cut into each other. It makes for some unfinished interviews and disconnected ideas. It would be nice if you were able to revise some the earlier episodes to make sure they play all the way through. Thanks EDIT: Kept with the show and it cleans up by season 2. I’d still like to hear some of the missing chunks of early season 1, but Derrick upped his game over time and the is show is top notch.

Listen to your favorite Dungeon Master's worst mistakes and greatest triumphs from behind the screen, and hear about their awesome TTRPG projects!
