Episode description

Welcome to Season 4 of Campaign Spotlight! This week, we chat with Dante about running eleven weekly parallel tables in the same campaign, falling in to becoming a professional GM, and embracing the tropes of the fetch quest. Plus, Dante has some sage advice for GMs like Jake who love spreadsheets.

During the interview, Dante mentions that they're opening a physical storefront for Chance Encounter Games in Seattle. In the time since we recorded this interview, we attended the grand opening and asked the customers about their campaigns, characters, and hot takes. Expect to hear all about it in an upcoming Flashlight.

Dante also mentions two useful mapmaking Patreons: 

Way back in March 2024, we chatted with Jesse about a very different approach to running the same campaign across multiple tables. Last season, we heard from RP about the experience of professional GMing.
