🐉 So You Want to Be a Dungeon Master?

A Beginner-Friendly Guide with Jay & Bryn!

VOL 2: Combat, NPCs & Worldbuilding

Ready to level up your Dungeon Master skills? Volume 2 of So You Want to Be a Dungeon Master? builds on the basics and dives into the heart of what keeps players engaged: combat, characters, and the world they inhabit.

Join our in-house Dungeon Masters, Jay and Bryn, for a hands-on, discussion-based workshop focused on creating exciting encounters and believable worlds. This session is ideal for newer DMs who have run (or are about to run) their first game and want to feel more confident behind the screen.

In VOL 2, we’ll cover:
• Designing and pacing combat encounters
• Making NPCs memorable without over-prepping
• Using worldbuilding to support play (not overwhelm it)

This is a relaxed, beginner-friendly session with plenty of room for questions, examples, and shared ideas.

Perfect for:
• New DMs ready for their next step
• Players transitioning into DMing
• Storytellers who want stronger encounters and richer worlds
