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.

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?

Are you an aspiring Game Master? Have you and your friends been interested in playing D&D or another TTRPG but no one wants to step into the Role of GM? Maybe you've been watching Critical Role and now you're itching to run a game yourself but you're feeling nervous about getting behind the screen? Well fret no longer friend. Today Dan Ryan of Non-Fiction Gaming sits down with me to share some tips on how to get started as a new GM.  Dan has been involved in D&D and TTRPGs for many years and has had the chance to coach up many new DMs at various PAX events (Penny Arcade Expos). He is here to share the knowledge and wisdom he has gained and gleaned from time teaching others as well as running games himself.  So whether you've been creating a homebrew world from scratch and are sitting on all of your deep lore, or you've never looked at a D&D adventure in your life but you're eager to play, We're here to coach you on how to pick up a starter set get some friends around the table, be it virtual or physical, and get to rolling them bones right away.  With some hot tips such as: Start in the action, have the players interact with the game mechanics as soon as possible, walk your players through their first dice rolls, include a small combat some developments and then wrap the first session up with their first boss battle; you'll be GMing like a pro in no time. You can Find Dan and Non-Fiction Gaming on their website at https://www.nonfictiongaming.com/ or catch them on Youtube, Twitch, or twitter @nfglive or @SheriffDann.  Dan talk about turning the Hangover into a 1-Shot.
