Episode description

Join Pat and Andrew as they Talk with Mike Shea (Sly Flourish) about his views on a simple future for DM prep, how technology could help make it more simple, and how technology can really get in the way. We also touch on how a player might be able to prep for a game session, simple to use VTTs, where you can take notes, and what ZERO DM prep might look like.

Guest: Mike Shea from SlyFlourish.com; @slyflourish on twitter.

Discussion Topics: Can technology help DM prep or will it just get in the way?
