Dungeon Master of None

It's the Great Railroading Debate! Get your ticket punched and head into our dining car for a discussion of railroading and player agency. Choo choo, Dungeon Masters. You can access our June patreon reward (and all our patreon rewards) by subscribing now. It's a spooky mythos murder mystery one-shot with coal mines, Yog-Sothoth, snake-handlers, and Egyptology in Appalachia!

It's time to talk about the train wreck that is the corpse of TSR a.k.a. the "New TSR Games" a.k.a. "Weekend at Ernie's." Matt introduces Rob to the cast of grifters and bigots behind this company before getting to some dungeon master advice on handling difficult spells and introducing new players to the Forgotten Realms.

Preview of our June 2021 Patreon exclusive episode! Join us at https://www.patreon.com/DungeonMasterOfNone for the full episode for a discussion of DMing for Jack Black, Railroading, playing other systems, and speculation about future D&D releases.

Our favorite historian, Paul Sturtevant of the Public Medievalist, is back to talk with us about the barbarian and paladin. But first...flails are cancelled! Then, stick around for a great conversation on history, colonialism, Basques, and Smite Evil. You can read Paul's article on the barbarian here and his short Twitter presentation on the paladin here.

Rob sits down to talk with Caleb Stokes about his many many many projects, especially his upcoming Kickstarter, Fae's Anatomy! More links: http://redmarketsrpg.com/ http://slangdesign.com/rppr/ https://arcdream.com/home/ https://www.patreon.com/dgdc https://www.patreon.com/themixedsix

Our favorite D&D writer from St. Louis (who is NOT a member of the Veiled Prophet ball) is back to share his experience publishing his stuff, writing for larger projects, and running horror games.
