oh

producer]:

yeah welcome back to how to be a better d m i'm your host justin

producer]:

lewis here to help you tell better stories for yourself and your players as d

producer]:

m sessions of d n d obviously today we did not have a narrative intro

producer]:

that's because to day is gonna be a very short episode first of all because

producer]:

i want you to take this time usually most people are off of work or

producer]:

what not spending time with family i want you to go spend with family that's

producer]:

one of the big benefits d n d has and one of the advantages it

producer]:

has over video games is that you can still enjoy the story and the excitement

producer]:

but you can do it with other people in so i encourage you if you're

producer]:

going to play d n d this season go play it with your friends and

producer]:

family don't be on line get out get in the real world and be with

producer]:

people next up i want to talk about some of the things we're hoping to

producer]:

do this year and all of this is is fairly up in the air we

producer]:

haven't truly decided tenor and i but these are some of the plans that we

producer]:

have started formulating and hopeful it excites you just like it's exciting us so first

producer]:

thing we're going to be working on is probably a dungeon master tips and techniques

producer]:

book really you know we put out we put out the feedback survey and this

producer]:

is one of the things that you know had the biggest number of people say

producer]:

that they'd be interested in it so we figured why not let's let's bring it

producer]:

on create it hopefully

producer]:

the goal in creating it would be to create a full on compendium something that

producer]:

is very comprehensive and you know well update it every year but m m we're

producer]:

excited about this and we'll see we'll see where this takes us the second thing

producer]:

we are thinking about creating is a dungeon master kit and this should go just

producer]:

beyond you know having the players handbook and a dungeon master screen and things like

producer]:

that really we're going to try and create different levels of kit so your advanced

producer]:

dungeon master your digital dungeon master and so forth this is something else we thinking

producer]:

of number threes we're actually thinking about adding new team members to the show this

producer]:

is something i've been thinking about lately just because time is finite and we want

producer]:

to spend our time in the best way pass bl number four is a live

producer]:

play show there has been some interest in us creating a live play show i

producer]:

mean to be honest i'm i'm somewhat reticent to do it because naturally there's so

producer]:

many other shows out there that are live play and probably better production quality and

producer]:

things like that but we'll see what happens number five we're definitely going to do

producer]:

more dungeon master critique episodes so we're going to record more one shots and critique

producer]:

those and we might even open it up to allowing listeners like yourself to send

producer]:

in recordings of of them d ming and then we would critique it over the

producer]:

show that was a tenors idea and i think it's a brilliant one so that's

producer]:

definitely something we're going to look into number six is opening up a discord and

producer]:

creating some sort of community aspect i think that would be very interesting but obviously

producer]:

we don't want to do something if if no one's going to show up and

producer]:

you know we want we want the juice to be worth the squeeze and number

producer]:

seven i honestly i think it would be cool to do some sort of live

producer]:

meet up uh i don't know how or what we would do but i think

producer]:

that would be pretty amazing so if you have any other ideas on things that

producer]:

we should be focusing on or things that we should be kind of developing in

producer]:

this next year we'd love to hear your thoughts you can always go to better

producer]:

dungeon master dot com slash feedback and you know put it in any of the

producer]:

fields we'd love to to hear your thoughts i just want to end the year

producer]:

by giving you a big thanks and you know a

producer]:

just a just a digital hug i've been podcastr for three years now which is

producer]:

crazy to think about but i've done this podcast for a little over a year

producer]:

i think it might be a year and a half now and i'll tell you

producer]:

there are many moments where as a podcaster you're uncertain there are many moments where

producer]:

you don't really know what to do moving forward you know you want your downloads

producer]:

to increase you want more listeners and blah blah blah but the biggest gratifying thing

producer]:

with this podcast compared to my previous podcast is just you know the listeners you

producer]:

are real and the one shots the feedback survey you know all the messages we

producer]:

get over instagram it shows me that you are real and that you are you

producer]:

know being a dungeon master for real and and i just want to say thank

producer]:

you for opening up your ear buds as it were and letting me into your

producer]:

life and and spending this last year with how to be a better d m
