Every game master has to prep for sessions, and it can be a real chore. But it doesn't have to be! This week, Jim Davis is breaking down how he preps for sessions, avoids over-prepping, and sets himself up for success, starting right after the last game.

It's a question on our minds - in previous editions, alignment was a much more central mechanic, and in 5e it doesn't affect all that much. We haven't used it much in years! Here's our thoughts on it. For a more structured and streamlined look at this week's main topic, check us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/webdm Get our book!

We're back with a discussion of D&D's newest official release: Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos, which is a Magic: The Gathering crossover. This book is a bit of a head-scratcher to us - there are things we like, but maybe more things that make us a bit confused about how to use the material and what the designers are really going for. Love to see them trying new things, and there's plenty of interesting nuggets to chew on. Join us as we study up on it! For a more structured and streamlined l...
