Dungeon Master of None

Sit down by the fire and stoke your pipe, because today Matt & Rob put on their academics' robes and read a classic of D&D history. We revisit the halcyon days of the Satanic Panic with "A Christian Response to Dungeons & Dragons: A Catechism for the New Age". Come learn why D&D is "the most effective introduction to the occult in man's recorded history". Fun AND educational!

DMs Matt and Rob dive deep into the Dungeons and Dragons introductory adventure from the 5e Starter Set, Lost Mine of Phandelver. Tune in for a discussion of how to prep, how to make the module your own, and how to punch up the key NPCs of LMoP! 

Matt and Rob talk about the news, answer some mail, and dispense questionable advice, as usual. Rob has his best game of "real or woe" yet!

Dungeon Masters Matt and Rob brave the lowest point in D&D history: the 2000 New Line film by Courtney Solomon.
