Hop into the WABAC machine as DM "Mr. Peabody" Rob takes DM "Sherman" Matt on a journey to Dragon Magazine #63, "Plan before you play: Think it over, then map it out" by Ed Greenwood. Lots of good advice in this one, folks! https://www.patreon.com/DungeonMasterOfNone 

Rob is flying solo today, talking about one of his longest running campaigns, and hopefully imparting some useful advice about what NOT to do and how to avoid making the same mistakes.

I do not roll with my hand. They who roll with their hand have forgotten the face of their father. I roll with my heart.  It's time to talk about cannons, blunderbusses, shattershots, fowling pieces, tanegashimas, arquebuses, fire lances, flintlocks, wheellocks, matchlocks, snaplocks, pepper boxes, and muskets. DMs Matt and Rob discuss how to include gunslingers and firearms in your campaigns. But first, a kickstarter updates on two popular and cool RPG campaigns:  The Devil Made Us Do It Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game

Nat (@ashesforfoxes) of Metamashina joins Matt and Rob to talk about Frank Herbert's 1965 novel DUNE -- which you may have heard, is being made into a major motion picture -- as well as the myriad prequels, sequels, and spinoffs that the book has produced.

It's a mailbag episode! Time to help Dungeon Masters with their notes and organization, running fantasy cops, GMing for neurodivergent players, worldbuilding better planar cosmologies, and more!
