I have never sparkled.
Another episode of the Dungeon Master Guys, filled with great guest stars, and just in time for Halloween. While the Chatty DM was on the way to NYCC, we had on a replacement Dungeon Master Guy: Quinn Murphy of the At-Will blog who lends us his dungeon mastering wisdom.

My favorite episode so far! 🙂
Thanks for having me on the show. I really had a blast!
I spun up this short look at other GM resources:

And it was reviewed at Gnome Stew– but Hamlet’s Hit Points is very useful!
-Ben.
Always a blast to be on guys. Thanks for letting me guest host!
Micah sounds like Neebs from Doraleous!

btw I’ve used Obsidian Portal for a few years and its great. And I enjoyed the well edited podcast.
Hi, guys.
Great show, as always.
FYI “Robin’s Laws of Good Game Mastering” is available for purchase in pdf form at Steve Jackson Games: http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG30-3009
Also worth mentioning is Mike Shea’s “Sly Flourish’s Dungeon Master Tips”, which is written with D&D 4E in mind. It’s available here: http://slyflourish.com/book/
