The Dungeon Master Guys, Episode 4
Some genres should probably not be mixed
Episode 4 – that’s some kind of milestone! Longer than a fiscal quarter (unlike what Dave may think a quarter is), shorter than a full year anniversary, still something worth celebrating. Our last episode before all three Dungeon Master Guys (Dave the Game, Chatty DM, and Newbie DM) head off to Gen Con in Indianapolis.
In this episode:
- Newbie DM talks about railroading
- Chatty DM gives some tips on how to keep players focused at the table
- Dave the Game outlines how to run a flashback adventure
- We answer two reader emails: one about mixing genres, and the other about “monster math” in paragon and epic 4e games
People/Things mentioned in the show:
- Robin Laws
- D&D Rules Updates
- In the Eye of the Beholder (Monster math post)

We are always on the lookout for questions (about being a D&D 4e DM or about GMing in general), comments and suggestions. You can leave them here in the comments, email us, or leave us a message at 305-349-3026, and we’ll be more than happy to feature them in a future show.
The Dungeon Master Guys, Episode 2
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

It’s been a long time in the making, so long in fact that we forget who had the idea. Suffice it to say that Dave, Newbie DM and ChattyDM thought it would be very cool to create a focused, high quality podcast for DMs, made by DMs.
We hope you enjoy it.
In this show:
- Adventure prepping
- Creating a cast-of-heroes type of campaign to allow players to switch PCs
- Using failures to make your games more interesting
