Artificial Intelligence is a polarizing topic these days. From Skynet-style flights of fancy to the very real implications for content creators, it's an evolving technology that isn't going away anytime soon. But free from worrying about profiting off of others' work, using AI at the game table can help provide you with a set of tools and a pair of hands that can help lift the sometimes heavy and time-consuming duties of a DM. In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to discuss how they've started implementing AI into their toolbox, mainly through getting into some good old-fashioned “lonely fun” in some solo-RPGing. For anyone who has thought how AI might effect your games or your DMing, this is the episode for you.3:00 DM Chris gives the background for turning ChatGPT into a DM for a solo campaign from his previous article, and then he and Tony discuss their solo campaigns they've been playing in.9:35 Just like any game, you know what your character has and does more than the DM – real or virtual.11:45 The concept of “Lonely Fun.”12:46 Our experiences with solo TTRPGs, like Mythic, and how tools like ChatGPT can enhance that experience.16:30 AI as a tool to craft something you need quickly – DM Tony's Inn.18:00 Using AI to assist in being another “DM” to bounce ideas off of and to test your prototypes: DM Dave's new campaign that mixes WEG Star Wars RPG and Firefly: The Board Game.24:40 Our tangent into the missing Ninja class.27:37 The difference between solo gaming and party gaming. In a solo campaign, you're the star of the show.32:00 Running a solo campaign is a great way to learn how a new system works.35:25 Final Thoughts.

Cobbler's tools. Weaver's tools. Glassblowing. There are a host of proficiencies that are part of building a character in D&D that seem strange at first for someone who is going out on adventures. For a lot of players, it just becomes something that you picked during character creation. We've come to call these the “orphan” proficiencies.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to discuss how they utilize these proficiencies in games, and even if you should, or if you just pass over these proficiencies and get to killing orcs.3:00 The finite resources that are proficiencies, do you want to use one to be a good leather worker?6:35 Delving into the use of the orphaned proficiencies really depends on the type of game you're running and who's playing.11:55 You need to allow the space for these types of skills and proficiencies to come into play – it can't be a race against the ending of the world.13:05 Approaching it in terms of Peter Parker and Spider-Man… you've gotta pay the rent!14:40 The effectiveness of certain artisan and craft tools over others: would you prefer weavers' tools or thieves' tools?16:55 5e, specifically, has a lot of mechanics to handle most things in game. But these types of proficiencies are more narrative-focused, so don't be so slavish to the rules and mechanics.19:40 The players invested some level of thought into these proficiencies… lean into them.27:00 DM Chris develops the first Skateboarding Fighter.28:00 To shine the light on these proficiencies, you have to put some thought into building it into the campaign.32:45 It doesn't matter how dexterous or intelligent I am… I can't just play a guitar when I pick it up for the first time.39:05 Final Thoughts.

It's apropos that our first-ever players review of a campaign was for DM Tony's Storm King's Thunder campaign, as our newest iteration has us returning to the frozen world of the original giants in Mana Project Studios Journey to Ragnarok! We bring on return guests Scott (the Terrain Wrangler), Bonnie (the Chaos Engine) and our newest player to join the group, Jen (the Girlfriend!)In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down with the other three players to review a campaign that had several adjustments made over the course of it – refining it from a completely open-world sandbox-style campaign to a Monster-of-the-Week style. DMs always have to be adjusting dials, so listen in as we discuss how DM Tony had to adjust for vastly different play types to still create a fun and engaging campaign. DM Chris stated it best: “TTRPGs aren't reliant on lore, backstory, and epic narratives… sometimes its just about getting together and having fun as a group.”2:25 Player and character introductions.7:20 Setting the characters in the world: Origins and Viking Clans!18:35 How much backstory is enough or is it even required? 19:45 The real time adjustment to how you run the game with various types of gamers.27:30 Refining a multitude of adventures, political brinksmanship, and storylines down to a Monster-of-the-Week tour of the Nine Realms.29:20 How new and inexperienced players can help us evolve our DM style.36:00 The players experience between two completely separate campaigns: completely open world and Monster-of-the-Week within the same campaign.41:40 Forest for the trees: Seeing a character's story arc in the macro.44:47 Final Thoughts.

Low Magic. We've discussed it before and, in last weeks article, DM Chris delved into ideas of how to make magic rare and special in your D&D campaigns. In our discussion online regarding the article, there was a debate over what low magic means. The issue seemed to revolve around confusing Low Magic with Low Fantasy. Middle-Earth, while being a High Fantasy setting, is, in terms of D&D, a Low Magic setting for the simple fact that there are no spellcasting classes.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss the preparations for the upcoming LOTR campaign; how magic will work, the lack of spellcasters as a class, the types of characters that we're thinking of developing, among many other topics. For anyone that is hoping to really approach magic differently in their home games, this is the episode for you.1:50 Our continuing discussion about our upcoming Lord of the Rings campaign and how we're approaching a setting with low access to magic.4:01 What are you going to do now? Trying to top your previous campaigns.7:15 DM Chris delves into his thoughts surrounding how to lessen access to magic as he began preparing and planning his Lord of the Rings campaign. 11:55 Middle-Earth as a world is highly magical, but how that plays at the table changes it significantly from all other D&D settings – Bilbo and the Dwarves didn't have a Boss Battle with Smaug.17:35 How much Meteor Swarm would change the Arthurian Tales.19:05 How rare magic will turn everything into significant encounters: healing, journeys, rests, etc.22:52 A rare Rock and Roll DM story about short rests and long rests.24:55 DM Chris explains the idea of the “Fellowship Phase” and “Shadow Points” in LOTR, like Call of Cthulhu Sanity points in Middle-Earth.32:05 What's the economy of Middle-Earth?37:50 How to build characters that will hook into the setting of Middle-Earth.40:30 Final Thoughts.

We're getting geared up for some new campaigns to begin. Both our Dragonlance and Journey to Ragnarok campaigns are coming near their finale, so we've begun thinking about what's next up. Just in time, DM Chris sent out his Player's Guides for the upcoming Lord of the Rings campaign that he's going to be running in the new year. In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss what makes a good Player's Guide, what to include, what to leave out, and how they can help to start your campaign off on the right foot before your players ever get to the table.2:53 What's different in this campaign from other campaigns?3:23 Session Negative One; giving your players time before Session Zero to reflect on choices.8:30 The types of choices in different settings that the players might want to reflect on. Including the one-sheet Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign guide.11:45 Some campaign settings, like Lord of the Rings, require a lot of information prior to starting the campaign. These Player Guides can also be helpful as fodder for character backstories.13:55 Depending on how experienced your group is will provide how much additional information you send along. Don't send a 20-page Player Guide to the newbie player, the PHB is MORE than enough.15:50 Building excitement about the new campaign.18:30 Assembling the Player's Guide can serve as a focusing mechanism for you as you build out the campaign.23:50 Setting the flavor, tone, and rules of the road before players ever come to the table.25:05 The excitement for the campaign is not just for the players, it's for the DM as well. Injecting something new keeps your game table fresh.30:20 Final Thoughts.

Play through an adventure and you'll realize how strangely time can move in your D&D campaign. Longtime friend of the show, Dr. DM (Jason) returns with a question about his ocean-based campaign that we discussed in Episode 148. His question revolves around how quickly leveling can affect the passage of time in the adventure. In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss the strange way time can move in your campaign and how to best handle that. Is your game a non-stop march towards the inevitability of the BBEG or is it more a classic-type of campaign with a bunch of adventures linked together? As DM Tony wisely states, “The passage of time is not nearly as important as the passage of good sessions.”1:25 Dr. DM returns with the ongoing ocean-based campaign that started from our Shipping Up To Boston episode!4:08 How does time work in your campaign? One crazy summer or lasting over decades of the characters lives? How fast, or slow, are you leveling?6:45 Using a campaign calendar and how it shows how quickly time can move in D&D.9:45 Many adventures don't allow for a lot of “downtime” or times when you're not actively adventuring. 11:40 Structuring your campaign to allow for time to pass. DM Chris explains the Fellowship phase in the Lord of the Rings 5e campaign he's preparing.18:25 Does training and time really matter in your campaign? The Luke Skywalker example.23:05 Hiring crew, guides, and hirelings for your keep. How much do your players want control in this? DM Chris reviews the hiring of guides in Tomb of Annihilation.32:12 Using your NPC hirelings and townspeople to hook the characters deeper into the story… the Invasion of Vogler in Dragonlance.37:09 A slight aside to an addendum of Dr. DMs question: paying dues in game… yes or no?42:35 Final Thoughts.

Bad sessions. We've all dealt with them and we'll continue to have them periodically. It's all part of running TTRPGs. But how to you deal with them when they happen? What do you do to salvage the game at the next session? DM Dave offers a question to his fellow Wise DMs regarding a recent session that he felt he could have run better, smoother, better improv. But he got stuck. Hey, it happens.In this episode, Tony and Chris help Dave talk it out and, in the process, reveal what we all deal with… sometimes, everything just goes south in the game and it isn't fun. It's even tougher to deal with when you've handled these kinds of issues successfully before. So what are you going to do about it?2:20 DM Dave gives a high overview of his Melora's Light campaign that led to the recent game that went awry.9:25 Disrupting the DMs plans. How new players are great for this.11:20 Wait, the players just walked straight to the Big Boss? How to deal with it when they walk right up to the front door.12:35 The forever debate between sandbox and rails.18:12 It's important to be honest about how you're feeling about the game and what is fun for you and your group. 21:05 “Back in the Day” with DM Tony. 24:25 The unlikely team-up with the arch-nemesis.27:05 Always remember to prep enough for you to feel comfortable improving through anything.28:22 DM Chris reviews his recent issue with releasing an overpowered weapon and how to properly retcon it. Also, Baghtru.35:05 There's always the next session.42:25 Final Thoughts.

Running the adventure outside of the game session? Yes, that's right. Starting back in DM Dave's Curse of Strahd campaign, we began to develop characters and backstories with narrative side quests via text, email, and online documents (like Google Docs). In our Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign, we have utilized them from the very beginning for each character individually, as well as the whole party, to further flesh out the characters, world, and story.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss their strategies for running narrative side quests outside the game as well as completely text-based campaigns.Episode 358 of Dragon Talk.DM Tony's article on running narrative side quests outside the game.3:08 What do we mean when we're talking about a narrative side quest?4:55 Our most recent use of narrative side quests in our Dragonlance campaign.7:25 There must be an active give and take for narrative side quests and campaigns to work.13:00 DM Chris' Days of Future Past text-based Marvel Super Heroes campaign.14:35 Narrative side quests for individual characters are a time to build out backstory and character, not for leveling and gaining experience.16:48 DM Chris literally “Squirrels”!20:12 Narrative, or “Descriptive”, side quests. What is your threat level? Will the character die while away?22:40 How narrative side quests can help spur roleplay moments in-game. 23:55 How to build out actual side quests with monsters, loot, and experience for individual characters.25:26 How far away are your characters and how long will they be gone? How many players are you currently juggling with side quests? 32:20 Narrative side quests allow players who miss a session to not feel like they missed out.34:35 Excellent method for important plot drops… when they find it, they'll want to shout it from the rooftops.39:32 Final Thoughts.

The 3 Wise DMs are all approaching campaign finales: DM Tony's Journey to Ragnarok, DM Chris' “Wednesday-Nighters” campaign in our homebrewed world of The Further, and DM Dave's Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign. Just like the start of a campaign, the end only comes along once. So what should you focus on when your campaign is coming to a climax? What questions should you ask yourself? What do you have to make sure you do? How do you create something that will be talked about for years to come?In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to continue our discussions from the last two episodes about tying elements of the game together to share their pro tips about designing and executing a great finale that will be the capstone for the game that has gone on for weeks, months, or years!1:10 3WD is Big in Algeria!3:40 What do you mean by the end of a “campaign”?6:40 What has been the Theme of the campaign?8:05 Lessons learned for your games, good and bad, from the ending of Loki.12:00 Does a campaign or campaign ending need to be “epic”?13:45 How our Curse of Strahd campaign really had 2 separate finales.16:40 Does every character's story need to be tied up by the end? Does the campaign actually end?28:25 The story ends when the story ends, whether it's 10 sessions or 100.33:10 The pros and cons of running a “Resolutions” session after the finale.43:00 Final Thoughts.

2:05 A listener question regarding how to run episodic adventures that serves as a jumping off point for Matt Colville's recent video asking the question, “How long should an adventure be?”3:40 DM Tony's lead-off question… what is your table hungry for?5:25 The classic Monster of the Week theme and DM Chris' love of The X-Files.7:25 Episodic Adventures can easily become a railroad.8:25 How epic, longform stories are the current zeitgeist and how that affects the adventures we create.10:15 Whether a longform campaign or a one-shot, every adventure needs to be self-contained with a beginning, a middle, and an end. 20:05 The issue of players remembering ALL the lore and information gleaned over longform adventures.22:45 The adventure should be as long as it needs to be to feel complete. 27:40 The level of prep needed between short and longform adventures.30:50 Creating episodic adventures even in longform adventures, like DM Tony's Storm Kings Thunder and Journey to Ragnarok campaigns.40:30 Final Thoughts.

The party explores the structure under the temple and finds the platinum tablet, and much more. They also stop at the home of the Rootfolk species where they uncover important information from the local library on a variety of topics . DM Chris also shares a special announcement at the end of the episode regarding the Kickstarter adventure Cult of the Cave Crickets.

What do you do when your player is unhappy with the direction of their class and wants to change over into a new class mid-campaign, but with the same character?In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave answer a listener question about their player that wants to change their character's class from Paladin to Sorcerer at 5th level. We delve into not just the narrative components of a change like this, but also the mechanical effects that such a change would inevitably bring. Along the way, we offer tips, tricks, and questions you should ask yourself if you're planning on something like this in your own games.3:45 First questions: will this completely break immersion and is this an offer you're ready to make for all the players? 4:30 DM Chris fondly remembers Clyde from Every Which Way But Loose and discusses the “Buyer's Remorse” of character choices and how to work with it.7:00 The benefit of starting at lower levels and the character building that comes with it. How a 5th level character might feel a little more “pregen”, as DM Tony refers to it.8:45 The benefits of One-shots, Session Zeroes, and Playtests to understand better the choices you're making. What if Aragorn never leaves Bree?12:30 DM Tony's workaround for swapping power sets in 4th edition.13:14 Learning the rules of the class as you level… the kid who hates the elite sports car they just got.16:30 How we have and would narratively approach changes like this in our own games.18:00 How do you handle the mechanical changes that would come with such a change?28:50 DM Tony recounts how DM Thorin had narratively and mechanically done this very thing in a 4th edition game… the return of Cassidus, the wizard made of a pile of undead bugs!30:35 “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to”.… the time needed to evolve the character and how to balance realism and fantasy.34:05 Final Thoughts

The tavern. It's the start of 23 different campaigns that DM Tony has been in over the last three decades. It's a fantasy adventure trope and gets a lot of hate out there for being basic and unimaginative, but is that necessarily a bad thing? In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave return to our RPG Mythbusters series and test the myth, “Is a tavern the best place to start an adventure?” Will it be confirmed, plausible, or busted?0:49 The return of RPG Mythbusters, all the way back to Episodes 39 and 42.1:56 Everyone knows what a tavern is as opposed to, let's say, a Paladin's Chapel.3:50 Taverns are a historically accurate meeting place; the true “town square.”6:45 DM Dave returns to the Lord of the Rings novel and reminds us that Gandalf drops lore in Bilbo's house for 25 pages. Taverns can be much more organic to reveal the plot.9:50 The tavern affords an easy, stress-free environment to introduce the players and their characters to the story and the world – which can be especially helpful with new players.14:15 Session Zero could be a “tavern” by providing an intro to introduce the adventure.15:40 The type of game can change whether a tavern is a good or a bad idea; in can be a phenomenal time sink.17:20 Our tangent into 7-11 and Denny's being modern-day taverns when we were teenagers.18:10 Implied consent: the unsaid agreement between DM and players that you're ready to go on an adventure for the session.24:55 What type of adventure/campaign are you running? That should guide how and where you're starting.33:08 Lore Tolerance: how Taverns and “In Media Res” starts allow you to control the flow of lore dumps.36:45 DM Chris' idea that combat is the best way to bring characters together: A Band of Brothers. And how DM Dave leaned into this for our Dragonlance campaign.43:15 Final Thoughts: Myth Confirmed, Plausible, or Busted?

With our recent Forged in Fire article series, DM Chris realized how many Conditions that monsters have resistance and immunity to, especially in 5e. With that, we began to discuss how much (or little) we play with Conditions in our home games, and how that might be limiting what we can do to craft engaging, thrilling, and challenging encounters.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave delve into the Conditions mechanic (both in and out of 5e), the issues we have with some of them, what ones we find to be somewhat limp, and the ones we would love to usemore. We also delve into what we have found is a Condition we often times inflict on ourselves as DMs: Expectations.3:00 DM Tony returns to his problem with Stun mechanics… all the way back from Episode #4!4:00 Making your game challenging without having them turn into “Gotcha” moments for your players.6:20 Developing encounters with certain Conditions in mind. DM Dave's Lair of Dragansalor from DM Chris' 12 person Birthday game.7:45 Seeing Advantage and Disadvantage as a Condition.8:35 The power of Conditions through multiple systems and editions.11:10 Using Conditions to control combat… more interesting than bags of hit points.13:15 How Conditions, like Stun, have the players control the combat. Should you change it?21:40 Skills, Saves, and the Rule of Cool article link.22:45 Expectations: Conditions we place on ourselves as DMs.32:45 Heroes of the Realm (including our Star Wars analogy): Be excited when the players mop the floor with the bad guys, regardless of the Conditions.42:05 Resource management, Short, and Long Rests as Conditions.46:15 Final Thoughts

One of the beauties of TTRPGs is the ability to not just watch or read an amazing story, but to experience it… to create it. The mystery, the action, the climactic battle between good and evil; D&D gives us the ability to create our favorite stories.One of the most important aspects of that, as the DM, is creating a level of mystery to the story that the players get the chance to uncover as they delve deeper into the adventure. In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss a listener question about the mystery that they're planning on having last for 10 levels and ask, “am I being cruel by leaving them in mystery so long?” 4:05 3 ways it can go: 1) your plot twist becomes campaign defining, 2) players will rage quit, or 3) it falls flat.4:55 Your campaign is not a novel.7:30 New players might not even understand what they're choosing when they're still trying to understand the game mechanics.9:40 If you have something to get through to the players: Repeat, Repeat, Repeat.11:00 The difficulties of conveying the story in a spoken medium.12:30 DM Tony discusses his difficulties in conveying lore-heavy campaigns.14:08 What will the player's choose? How this can affect the overarching campaign if its too set in stone.16:25 New players might not be as new as you think with the advent of live-play games. But, then again, they might not remember what all the different dice are either.19:05 DM Chris' analogy of trying to teach something to someone and the lessons we can learn for in-game use. Listen for when the players begin to “parrot back” your plot drops.23:50 The difference between YOUR reveal and THEIR reveal… tie the reveal to the characters. Matt Colville's “A Tale of Two Campaigns” video.28:40 For a campaign-defining mystery like “Mystara is dying,” there are infinite ways to create a breadcrumb trail for the players to pick up on.35:55 Final Thoughts

Homebrewing has been part of the game since its inception. Hell, the game itself is a homebrew of wargames! We've discussed homebrewing in previous episodes and articles, but a listener asks the question about how to homebrew magic items and monsters from well-known pop culture sources (like Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Universe.)In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss their top nine tips to pulling in objects and ideas from existing beloved pop culture properties and making them have the same level of gravitas as the book, series, or movie that they come from.1:00 A Rock and Roll DM Tour Story.2:05 A listener question about homebrewing monsters and items from The Cosmere by Brandon Sanderson from longtime listener Dr. DM, Jason.4:30 Tip #1: Scaling homebrew to the tier that your campaign is in, for leveling systems like 5e.5:30 Tip #2: Kitbashing from existing items, spells, monsters, etc. (like a Balor that turns into a demonic Bob Ross…)8:10 Tip #3: Ask yourself 2 questions. 1) What is the world you're pulling from? and, 2) How does the object, magic, or idea work in that world? 9:45 Tip #4: Benchmarking the magic, items, spells, etc. to what your players have and what the enemies have access to.12:45 Our experience with this when we crafted He-Man's Sword of Power for our Curse of Strahd campaign.

Inspiration. Along with Advantage and Disadvantage, its oneof the most streamlined mechanics in 5e. However, we all love to try new oradjusted mechanics to continually improve our DMing.

Spell effects in Fantasy TTRPGs are easily the times when we as DMs and GMs have to respond on the fly to changing parameters. In systems like 5e, we've discussed how they've crafted a system that does some of the heavy lifting for you when it comes to rulings. But, no matter how many rules exist, you are going to have times that interesting uses of spells make you have to adjudicate in a completely new way.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave discuss ruling on how spell effects change the landscape and/or battlefield that we ran into in one of our most recent games. Regardless of your newness or your experience, this discussion helps us realize that the old adage of artists is true… “if you want to learn to paint great bricks. Paint one thousand bricks.” As always, please visit our affiliate link at Fanroll Dice to receive 10% off your entire order!1:14 Our listener question… from DM Chris?!?3:15 The difference between Game-Changing and Game-Breaking.8:00 Basing your adjudications on how the NPCs would react in a real-life situation.9:40 Some of the same disadvantages to the NPCs will affect the PCs too.12:50 Shout-out to Sly Flourish's Fantastic Locations13:30 Incentivize your players into using the environment to their advantage.16:50 The importance of spells and mechanics that change the environment vs. pure damage-dealing.21:45 The Earthquake Incident: managing spells that have incredibly far-reaching effects. 28:20 The DM-Player Agreement: Every adjudication is a prototype and can change.33:15 When to lean into the players intent and when to corral them in.37:45 For every time your players own the bosses, there'll be times that they get their teeth kicked in.40:40 Final Thoughts.

In the immortal words of The Bard… “To roll or not to roll, that is the question…” Rolling dice is the cornerstone of TTRPGs, because without them, as DM Chris says, we're just telling a story as we play with our GI Joe's in the backyard. So, when you're running a session, when do you decide to haventhe players, and yourself, pick up the dice? In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave springboard off a listener question that deals with trying to speed the game up in a homebrewed superhero campaign. From here, the 3 Wise DMs delve deeper into the big question of when to roll and when not to roll.And when you are rolling dice… head over to our affiliate link at FanRoll Dice and receive 10% off your entire order!2:45 Static Damage: The difference between players and DMs.9:30 The “DM Decision Helper”: Using dice to decide who's attacking who.13:00 Using dice to bring characters back into the action.15:00 When too much rolling can lead to inevitable failure.17:20 Using dice to avoid “Roleplay Slog.”18:30 “Dungeon Crawl Lubricant”: Easing decisions in a dungeon crawl to move the session forward.19:40 The Return of Castle Greyhawk!23:30 Our tangent into the issues with Hexcrawls within 5e.25:40 Rolling dice to affect the Slog Trinity: Combat, Roleplay, or Exploration.32:50 Rolling dice to avoid the DM soliloquy: An example from our Dragonlance campaign.36:30 The time not to roll: Random Treasure.37:40 Final Thoughts – Capes and Crooks from Crit Academy.

Game groups fall apart. It's as inevitable as the rain. What do you do when your current group goes south, but you still have a player who wants to continue? Do you continue with the current campaign? Do you now run the entire rest of the party, the monsters, and all the NPCs?

This week we focus on how to successfully start a campaign.  It is fun and all to start in a tavern, but at times that start can become...well...stale like the left over bread in the cellar. As much fun as over sized mutated rats can be or the town hobo who babbles about tales of ages past, consider starting your campaign a different way this time around. Listen closely to the ideas and consider implementing some of your own.  If you do so let us know! We would love to hear them.    Patreon @DMs_Block Facebook Stitcher iTunes   dungeonmasterblock@gmail.com   This episode edited by: DM Chris
