  • Crucible of Fate
    Dec 30 2022

    Hello and welcome to Everyday Dungeon Master! Today guest is DM David from the Crucible of Fate game show on YouTube, which is THE D&D Game Show! Join us as David gives us the breakdown of the Crucible and extends the invite to the listeners to create a character and apply to be on the show, because as David says, one of you out there is the champion of the Crucible of Fate you just don't know it yet.

    For today’s monster spotlight, we shine it bright on the Death Knight, a formidable foe that can deal some major damage. If you want to see it in action, check out the episode of Crucible of Fate that it’s featured on and watch it wreak havoc on a low level party.

    If you are interested in applying to the show so you can enter and test your skills in the Crucible, you can find the instructions to apply and all the show information at www.crucibleoffate.com. If you want to contact David to ask questions about the Crucible or D&D in general, you can reach him on Twitter @Crucible_ofFate or on Instagram @CrucibleofFate.

    You can also catch past episodes and watch current ones on YouTube here. 

    With that, I hope you enjoy today’s episode. If you are a DM wanting to be featured on a future episode send me an email at everydaydungeonmaster@outlook.com or find me on Facebook at @EverydayDMPod.

    Dec 16 2022

    Hello and welcome to Everyday Dungeon Master! Today my guest DM is Adam. Adam is joining us all the way from Finland with some awesome tips, tricks and stories about running D&D and other tabletop games for kids and using it as a tool to expand their imagination and teach them a foreign language! This was such a fun conversation, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

    The monster spotlight is bright and shines deep into the unknown, where nothing but horror awaits as it casts its light upon the horrible Aboleth. Adam gives us some details about this terrifying creature and just what makes it so spooky. Just remember kids, stay off the water, its full of the unknown and HP Lovecraft-style critters.

    The shoutouts and promotions Adam leaves us with today are:

    • To the parents of all the kids that entrust him to lead them through this game, thank you!

    And if you would like to reach out to Adam and talk D&D shop with him, you can find him on Facebook as Adam Wadds.

There are more amazing tips packed inside today’s episode, so I hope you enjoy!

    Grey brings us a 2-for-1 special on today’s Monster Spotlight.

  • RAW vs. ROC (Rule of Cool)
    Dec 2 2022

    Hello and welcome to Everyday Dungeon Master! Today my guest DM is Sam. In today’s episode we talk about the different rule sets of D&D, including RAW (Rules as Written) vs. ROC (Rule of Cool… but everyone should call it ROC from now on… trying to start something here!). Sam does a great job breaking down these two rule sets and giving us stories and examples on how they are applied and what the pros and cons of each DM rule style.

    Today’s monster spotlight takes us on an adventure to way back when, as Sam pulls a monster from the depths of the D&D 2e universe and presents the Doll Golem. This terrifying creature will make you laugh, until you are dead. He also gives us a quick and dirty lesson on how 2e worked as he explains the stat block a bit which was cool for me and I hope you enjoy it as well.

    Today’s shoutouts belong to two awesome establishments in the Cleveland, OH area, so if you are listening from there or you find yourself in the area, go check these places out:

    The Tome Bookstore

    Cerberus Den

    With that, I hope you enjoy today’s episode. If you are a DM wanting to be featured on a future episode send me an email at everydaydungeonmaster@outlook.com or find me on Facebook at @EverydayDMPod.

    Nov 25 2022

    Hello and welcome to Everyday Dungeon Master! Today is our November roundtable and we have returning guest DMs Brad (the one who started it all from Episode 1) and Jude. On today’s episode we cover D&D and the Military, why its so big in that community, and how it can be therapeutic to those who have experienced tough situations. We then move into One D&D and in the absence of there being another new playtest PDF to review in time for this recording, we talk about our thoughts on it and what we are excited about as it moves towards releasing in the next few years. We finish it all out with Campfire Stories vol. 3 where Brad, Jude and myself bring one of our favorite stories from D&D to you all for your listening enjoyment!

    If you are interested in the VTT that Jude mentioned, you can check out Owlbear Rodeo for a simple yet effective and easy to use VTT interface for your online games.

  • Lessons from a Newer DM
    Nov 18 2022

    Hello and welcome to Everyday Dungeon Master! Today’s guest DM is Alana. On today’s episode we talk all about lessons from a newer DM to other DMs out there. Alana gives great tips and advice for those looking to jump into the DM seat and has some great stories to share with us about her adventurers so far. Hope you enjoy today’s episode!

    For our monster spotlight today, we are doing things a little different with our first ever Monster Rankings! I provide four different monsters to Alana and see where she would rank them and if she loves them or yeets them. In today’s episode, I present to her the Banshee, the Band of Gloomcloaks, Hags, and last The Slender Man and his Slender Children Army. Where would you rank these foes? Let me know!

    If you want to catch more of Alana, get ready for her new podcast Fizzwick’s Counseling, set to premiere soon wherever you get your podcasts!

    With that, I hope you enjoy today’s episode. If you are a DM wanting to be featured on a future episode send me an email at everydaydungeonmaster@outlook.com or find me on Facebook at @EverydayDMPod.
