Dungeon Master’s Block

The podcast discusses rewarding player characters in tabletop RPGs, including the use of magic items, alternative forms of rewards, and incorporating players' identities. They also explore using Magic: The Gathering cards as loot in RPGs and mention a Kickstarter campaign for expanded gear in D&D 5th edition.

Author JC Kang joins DMs Neal and Mitch to discuss magic and cultures in home-brew worlds. They explore the concept of magic and culture in fantasy novels, share experiences recreating old Dungeons and Dragons worlds, and discuss the influence of dungeon mastering in world building. The hosts express their gratitude, wrap up the episode, and promote the Block Party Podcast Network.
