The Dungeon Master Guys, Episode 2

May 20, 2010 by Dungeon Master Guys

The only voice Chatty DM can do

The second episode of The Dungeon Master Guys podcast is here! We ran into some technical difficulties which lead to the episode being hosted by Chatty DM and Dave the Game, with Newbie DM contributing a segment and being consigned to the editing dungeon. However, we all learned a lot about podcasting, and the next episode should be even better.

In this episode:

  • Chatty DM talks to Wolfgang Baur about using published adventures in your game
  • Newbie DM gives tips for effective narration
  • Dave the Game introduces the concept of combat “outs”
  • Plus we answer some emails and comments

Products mentioned in the show:

  • Open Design
  • Kobold Quarterly
  • Courts of the Shadow Fey
  • Expedition to the Demonweb Pits
  • Ptolus

Music:

  • “What you Want” (ver. 2) by Kevin MacLeod

  • Obsidian Portal

    Ha! Imagine my surprise and delight to hear my friend Dragonmaster Cale mentioned on your podcast! I’ve been a player in his Star Wars game, but haven’t been able to attend for weeks, so this news of players trying to kill each other is new and exciting! 😀

    Thanks for the excellent podcast. I too am a DM in my 30s with a group of like players on a limited schedule (bi weekly, average 4 hours of play), so this really speaks to me. Keep it up and I look forward to more.
