How to Be a Better DM: Dungeon Master Tips for the DM Newbie, the Hobbyist and the Forever DM
It's another beautiful day to learn about How to Be a Better DM! Tanner shares how you can spice up a lackluster combat encounter as a DM, which should be a key part of your preparations for each session. Let's roll initiative!
Other than that, we have a favor to ask you: We are always trying to be better DMs, but we also want to become better podcast hosts so we can be more helpful and interesting to you. As part of that, we need your feedback. We set up a super quick survey at: https://betterdungeonmaster.com/feedback.
