Mastering Dungeons

Great mix of rpg news, dm advice, and more. I really enjoy the hosts commentary on game/adventure design. There gritty overview of such topics has infected my brain and now I actually read monster stat blocks in depth before a session.

I really enjoy this show. I’ve been listening a few months. Part like most is discussion of how different products and ideas fit into the hobby. For example, lots of recent discussion on how character creation choices tie to the setting (or work against it). Very polished presentation. Gets me excited to check out more of their work. My only prior exposure to the hosts were mentions from another podcast and Teos work on Forge of Foes.

Teos and Shawn are so knowledgeable, and they have great insights into topics that are relevant for any GM for any system. Though focus often returns to D&D, many episodes are about other systems, at least in part. Highly recommended!

First off, both Hosts are knowledgable and full of RPG stories, but please STOP apologizing so profusely for the 50 year old content that neither of you even wrote. We all know that the industry is changing to be more inclusive and diverse, but one simple trigger warning when the show starts would suffice. On the Greyhawk episodes Shawn spent over 5 minutes apologizing for the term “Race” and for the fantasy Greyhawk civilizations expansionism. I would rather have those 5 minutes hearing about Gen-Con. If someone has a problem with the old Greyhawk stuff, one trigger warning would be enough. Thanks for 200 episodes
