Fantastic Discussion of All-Things about being a DM

So much great information and opinion. Second only to Matt Colville in those regards. These guys are fun and conversational without going off the rails. I recently DM'ed for the first time in 28 years and I have these guys to, at least partially, thank for helping me get prepared and enthusiastic to run a game. Thank you William, Jake and David. Keep up the good work.

Definitely give it a listen

Just started listening to this podcast and I’m glad I did. Insightful but relaxed, these guys are fun to listen to. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Retains its value

I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast and I always tune in right when the new episode drops. As a DM/GM when the time is coming for me to get creative and prep for my gaming table I always come back to this, I’ll re-listen to old episodes before I sit down to work if they pertain to my area of interest for that day.
