So You Want to be a Dungeon Master – VOL 1

So You Want to Be a Dungeon Master?

A Beginner-Friendly Guide with Jay & Bryn!

Ever wondered what it really takes to sit behind the DM screen and bring whole worlds to life? Join our in-house Dungeon Masters, Jay and Bryn, for an intro-friendly session on how to start running your own Dungeons & Dragons adventures!

In VOL 1 (yes it will be a series!) they’ll walk you through the core skills every DM should practice – improvisation, creativity, rule knowledge, and yes… maybe even a few character voices. You’ll also learn where to begin: from choosing pre-written one-shots to crafting your own stories, plus the pros and cons of each approach.

This is a relaxed discussion-style event perfect for:
• New or aspiring DMs
• Players who want to understand the DM side of the table
• Anyone curious about how a story becomes an adventure

Come ask questions, learn from experienced storytellers, and leave feeling confident enough to run your first session.

📍 Location: The Vale at The Viridian Bookshop
💸 Admission: $15
