Do you have difficulty dealing with your players and making your game progress without issue?

Are you looking for ways to take your dungeon mastering to the next level, create a compelling adventure, and confidently manage players?

You are basically playing god as you administer and oversee all aspects of the game.

Most importantly, you don't want to negatively impact everyone’s gaming experience and make them not want to play with you.

So, how do you become a dungeon master that upholds order while keeping the game engaging?

Fortunately, you can count on this guidebook-slash-manual for essential tips all dungeon masters must know.

Listen inside to gain profound knowledge about your responsibility as a dungeon master, and how you can make the game more enjoyable than before, where you will discover:

  • What it means to be a dungeon master, and how you can up your game—you have many hats to wear and roles to fulfill!
  • The basics of Dungeons & Dragons, and how the game works—all DMs must know the ins and outs of the game
  • A brief timeline of how table-top RPGs developed—did you know D&D was considered a satanic cult scheme in the 80s?
  • The importance of having session zeroes with a checklist for essential topics to cover—preparing your players and setting up expectations can go a long way
  • The pitfalls of over- and under-preparing for a session- the key to a successful gaming experience is to balance everything out
